Eyes of Passion (Eyes of Passion series, Band 1): Volume 1

Eyes of Passion, a monumental collection of short stories written by a young Nigerian writer, Onis Sampson is a robust reflection on love, anguish, the struggle of man against fate, religious deception and the naivety of the common man, adolescents longing for sophistication and experience, and the fight against social pressures. Eyes of Passion features six interesting short stories, each giving a vivid insight into a world of characters whose experiences we immediately identify with as variants of ours. EYES OF PASSION: A chronic womanizer surrenders his life to Christ. At his new place of work, the seductive fisticuffs of the M.D’s daughter threatens his new found faith. He is faced with a dilemma: diplease her and lose his job, or play along and face the reprimand of conscience and fear of the consequence of sin, eternal damnation in hell. RAINY DAY ON CAMPUS: For most university students, recalling their freshman year puts at the fore a nostalgic preponderance of naivety. Such was Onis’ in “Rainy Day.” He leaves the comfort of his room at dawn for lectures during a heavy downpour. He encounters a plight, comes across a seeming serendipity in meeting Teju, brown-eyed dazzling beauty who embodies the definition of stark enigma. And then on reaching the lecture hall, accompanied by Teju he meets a new truth. . . THE PRAYER HOUSE: Under the influence of perceived spiritual oppression, a young lad is taken to a prayer house for deliverance by his aunt against the instruction of his mother. They embark on a seemingly endless journey trying to get to the last resort for his freedom. They encounter a crux in the attitude of the prophet of the prayer house, yet there is a glimmer of hope in the pattern of a rise and fall and then an interchange of fate hanging in the balance. COLOURLESS DAY: A fortuitous woman has premonitions of her husband’s and step-sons’ death. Then, very early in the morning a call comes in: a distress call. The challenges inherent in polygamous settings in some African cultures is given lucid treatment here. A SCREAM FROM THE REAR: Saki, a young lad is before a deadly serpent ready to destroy him. His mother coincidentally comes around. Time is at a standstill. Feverish numbness, suspense and horror runs through your veins as you become enmeshed in the pages of this remarkably puzzling story. THE JUVENILE: A race against time to cover up devious sidetracks. Rachael finds herself all alone at home. Suddenly, there is the shattering of glasses in the bedroom. The house is locked, who could have burgled in, she wonders. In the middle of this a call comes on the landline. Next, Ubong, a suitor shows up almost at same time and becomes a sort of rescuer. In no time her uncle who is on a one week trip out of town is at the door knocking. She thinks of what to do next. A first line of action takes her off course, and she begins to rumble from actions to inactions, all in a bid to cover up her tracks.
