You may not recognize this author or know the Nigerian setting, & the names Nsikan & Effiong might be unfamiliar, but you'll relate to this story since @paul_obong9623 explores universal themes - bureaucracy, aging, identity - & bridges continents. doric-literary.com/2026/10/0…

"I’m a seeker, a constant observer. Any tiny interaction I witness could become a story. If I can mentally embody the setting to a successful degree, the reader will trust the setting & their reading experience will be richer for it." @jadedwriter_ mrbullbull.com/newbull/the-b…

I first heard the term "background noise" when I was an extra on a film set for Schwarzenegger's "Last Action Hero" in '93. A cold winter night in Times Square. The stuff we do for the movies.

I am hemorrhaging money running Stanchion right now. If anyone would like a phenomenal book or magazine issue (or a handful of them) please consider buying something. I've seriously published some remarkable work.
