Big People Eating Small People

No small lives

Even seemingly quiet lives hold deep, dramatic stories Adelani has always been the kind of woman people overlook-a quiet, conservative church girl, dutiful and measured. But beneath her composed exterior lies a woman shaped by displacement, heartbreak, and a hidden wild streak she dares not name. After years of moving between cities in Nigeria, she has finally settled in Norwich, UK, where she is still finding her footing. Yet, home is a slippery thing when you carry the weight of expectation on your shoulders. When her paths crossed again with Alexander an older, professor from her time in university - her world tilts. He is unlike anyone she expected to love, and their attraction is immediate, undeniable. But love is never simple, especially when ghosts of the past refuse to be buried. A familiar name reappears-Dayo, the Nigerian ex who once shattered her trust. And with it, a triangle of longing, loyalty, and unresolved history begins to take shape. As Adelani navigates love, family, and the cultural pressures of being a Nigerian woman who dares to want something different, she harbors a truth that defies expectation: she does not want children. It is a choice that shocks those around her-a quiet rebellion against tradition, against the life that was supposed to be hers. But the past has its own way of creeping back, and when a secret side of her life comes to light, everything she has carefully built is at risk of unraveling. Bold yet intimate, *No Small Lives* is a deeply personal exploration of identity, love, and the quiet revolutions that shape us. Because even the quietest lives carry storms within them-and no life is ever truly small.

Sadness: only people looking for a happy ending

A female S-class hunter suddenly came to the association coordinator's room, Mr. Raymond only glanced at her and continued reading the important documents in front of him. feeling ignored, the hunter snapped at the association coordinator's desk, of course it was still fairly quiet by hunter standards. “What is it hunter Aveline?” “You know me, coordinator? If you know me, why are you ignoring me? I'm an S-class hunter, coordinator!” snapped Aveline. “Of course I know you hunter Aveline, but didn't you make an appointment first? I'm busy, so get out of here” “Please just this once, coordinator, you're the only one I can trust.” for the first time Aveline lowered her famously high self-esteem. “So what is hunter Aveline?” “It might be hard to believe, coordinator” Aveline was hesitant if the decision she made was the right one. Because according to her memories Raymond was a good person, when the world was nearing its end. “Just say it, I don't have much time” Raymond waited for Aveline's answer, hoping that something serious had happened. “I'm a returner!” “Yeah? What the hell Aveline do you think the world is a novel? Get out, I don't have time to talk about things like that” “Wait a minute, I really am a returner, coordinator” “Yes, yes there are many hunters who do that here too, talking about being a returner but it turns out it's just a joke” “But I'm right, coordinator...” “No, get out of my room hunter Aveline.” “But...” “I'm busy” “Alright, I'll come next time.” “Please don't come again.”
