The Shortest Story ever told

Severed heads have been turning up all over Lagos and the inhabitants are scared. Ten murders in ten weeks, all committed with a knife, and still, nobody has a clue who the sinister killer is.

Mr Seun Adepoju is a slender and charming psychiatrist with a fondness for books. He doesn't know it yet, but he is the only one who can stop the creepy killer.

When his lover, Kemi Sparkle, is kidnapped, Mr Adepoju finds himself thrown into the centre of the investigation. His only clue is tattered bread.

He enlists the help of a smart nurse called Ugo Brown.

Can Brown help Adepoju overcome his cigarette addiction and find the answers before the wild killer and his deadly knife strike again?

Another head was found in the early hours of Monday on Broad Street, Marina, Lagos. It was all over the news but it wasn't Kemi Sparkle. Nurse Ugo has been getting closer to finding the killer.
Seun has been trying his best to catch up with the killer as well but whenever he gets close, the trail gets cold.

It was as though the killer could read his mind.

It was a cold friday night on the lonely third mainland bridge in Lagos. The moon was full and it was a perfect Friday night for something sinister to happen.

Ugo came out of her to see the suspect standing by the service road. His back was turned to her. He had a knife and there were bread crumbs.

Was she too late? certainly not as she heard the mumbled sound of a lady with her head covered.

He turned around and to her shock, the killer was Seun Adepoju. He cried from within - Help Me!

His hands swinged towards the tied down Kemi Sparkle to take off her heard. Ugo had feared she was right, Seun was a patient of dual personalities.
She pulled out her gun and shot him before he took another life. Kemi was saved but her love ended on that cold Friday night.
