Okamma n'ilo

I have a story now out at AfricanWriter.com. Here is the link: http://www.africanwriter.com/articles/266/1/Okamma-nilo--A-Short-Story-by-Cheluchi-Onyemelukwe/Page1.html. An excerpt:

I knew that I did not want to live permanently in another country, looking for all the tricky ways I could find to extend my visa and to stay until I became a permanent resident or a citizen, or ways to buy used cars or mobile phones or clothes on sale to send back home, hating my life all through the winter, the bare trees, the bitter cold winds and the early dark evenings, then loving the green, green leaves and the warm long hours of sunshine in the summer. To my surprise, I had missed the bustle of Nigeria, the noisiness of people speaking at the tops of their voices even when they were speaking to people right next to them, the food, the hot sun, the gusto with which life was lived and enjoyed like goatmeat peppersoup.
