Serial Killer Series
By Fungai Chigumbura, Zimbabwe: My whims have never been part f the realm of the normal. Saying that is redundant at this point, but now I realize just how uncommon they are.

By Fungai Chingumbura, Zimbabwe: The night air is cool and refreshing as I drive leisurely through the city, towards my peace. Not much passes through my mind as I weave seamlessly through the light, after-dark traffic. I know I am almost assuredly condemned.

By Fungai Chigumbura, Zimbabwe: Last night, I slept. No; last night I slept wonderfully. That may seem trivial, but for me sleep had become no refuge.

By Fungai Chigumbura, Zimbabwe: I remember my first time. No one forgets their first time. It's as vivid to me as any memory can ever be and I'd like to think that it has remained untainted by the rusting wear of time. I remember every little detail; what she smelled like, the lighting in the room, the rush that came […]
