A Woman, A Mischief
InspiredPen
A Woman, A Mischief At fifty-six, Eniola is everything her family once prayed for. Respected businesswoman. Church leader. Provider. Survivor. The first person in generations to escape the quiet poverty that swallowed both sides of her family. But inside the silence of her success lives a question she has spent decades avoiding: What did it cost her to become this woman? Born into a crowded polygamous household in southwestern Nigeria, Eniola grows up brilliant, disciplined, and dangerously hopeful. While beauty opens doors around her, poverty keeps shutting them. Denied university despite extraordinary academic promise, she leaves home young and enters Life carrying faith, ambition, and an unspoken terror of becoming trapped like the women before her. As years pass, Eniola builds a life through ruthless discipline and moral restraint, refusing the shortcuts many around her accept for survival. Her rise appears miraculous. Yet beneath her success, strange prophecies, fractured memories, emotional isolation, and buried grief begin gathering like shadows. Then old memories begin returning. A hospital corridor. A missing truth. A decision nobody fully understands. And a sentence she once tried to forget: “You cannot keep both.” Moving across decades, secrets, church culture, family wounds, and the fragile line between spiritual destiny and inherited trauma, A Woman, A Mischief is a nonlinear literary mystery about motherhood, sacrifice, survival, and the silent ways people disappear inside the lives they fought to build.
The Jar Of All Wisdom
Chidera mirian
In the vibrant animal kingdom of **Sapele**, Mbe the Tortoise grows greedy and decides he wants to be the only intelligent being in the world. He travels far and wide, collecting every proverb, secret, and bit of knowledge he can find, stuffing them all into a massive **clay pot**. To keep his treasure safe, Mbe attempts to hide the jar at the top of the tallest tree in the forest. However, because he ties the bulky jar to his **chest**, he cannot get a grip on the trunk and repeatedly falls. His young son, watching from below, suggests that the climb would be easy if Mbe simply moved the jar to his **back**. Realizing that his son possessed a basic wisdom that he—the supposed master of all knowledge—had missed, Mbe is overcome with shame. In a fit of rage, he smashes the jar, releasing wisdom back into the world for everyone to share.
