The 2nd Runner up of The AprilCentaur Prize
Vanessa George - Silver Rain Drops.
Silver Rain Drops” is a story that reminisces the days of childhood, mingled with the nostalgia such reminders nestle in our grasps.
Olútọ́pẹ́ embodies the average adults burdened by life and longing for the past time of their childhood.
Combining imagery and diction, the story is one that forces us into flashbacks and leaves us longing for a dance in the silver rain.
Vanessa George executes her story with such fluid novelty that characterises her unique writing voice.
The bulk of readers could not stop complimenting her appealing control of language and the efficacy with which she executed her imagery.

We are advocates of literary expression, and our mission is to empower the next generation of Nigerian storytellers, nurturing their talents and celebrating their creativity.
In a digital age that often competes for attention, we recognize the importance of fostering a love for the written word and encouraging young minds to explore the limitless possibilities of storytelling.
By providing a platform that amplifies their voices and celebrates their unique perspectives, we aim to cultivate a literary landscape that will reflect the rich tapestry of Nigerian culture.
Together, we can serve as a catalyst for our needed literary renaissance, fuel the imagination of a new generation of writers and capture the spirit of Nigeria's storytelling tradition.
