Short Stories & Published Writing
Short story · 2012
Among Friends
A darkly comic short story set in Accra, following a secret support group for people who fantasise about murder — until the night a real killer walks through the door. Blending sharp social satire with psychological horror, it subverts the serial killer genre by setting it in Ghana.
Short story · 2011
Bedlam
A man in bunny slippers wanders an empty asylum, planning his escape — unaware he is a coma patient whose inner world is collapsing at the exact moment his mother signs his lobotomy consent form. Dark wit and a gut-punch ending.
