The Three of Us

by Ore Agbaje-Williams

I have to clarify which person this is. She’s seeing a few different guys and she gives them nicknames rather than calling them by their real names.

Do we all do this? Lol.

The truth is that I don’t want children.

Then, why are you trying to have one with someone that does want them??!

I can even admit that I’m a little selfish. I like to remain in control, and children—babies—do not allow for that.

Same sis

I’d never met someone my age who already knew who she was and didn’t shape herself around other people’s opinions.

So I drank one glass of the whiskey, then two, then a third half glass—in a wineglass, not a good idea.

Shit's about to get loud

I’m not sure what my face looks like, because I’m probably definitely a bit drunk and I hate her.

Men are instruments, not partners. Their presumed superiority over women throughout history has made them complacent and stopped them from adequately evolving, and so now they are no longer fit for long-term use.
