About me

 

Hi, I’m Bariduura Lois đźŚ¸
A storyteller, creative, and entrepreneur who believes words have the power to heal, inspire, and connect.

I’ve always been drawn to stories—whether through writing, listening, or sharing them aloud. Over time, I’ve learned that storytelling isn’t just about putting words on a page; it’s about creating companionship, sparking imagination, and leaving readers with a piece of yourself.

Beyond storytelling, I run a fully remote company where I help people shape their careers, connect with opportunities, and grow. I’m passionate about kindness, respect, inclusivity, innovation, and creativity—values that guide everything I do.

My Short Fables is my personal space, where I share short stories, reflections, and life-inspired tales. Some will make you laugh, others will make you think, and a few may even stay with you long after reading.

At the heart of it all, I write to build a genuine writer–reader friendship with you. Welcome to my world of words—I’m glad you’re here ❤️

With love,
Lois

USED

After they had sex, she felt a storm inside her. It was her first time—her body ached, and a dull, deep pain settled in her lower belly. But that wasn’t what hurt the most. It was the shame that crept in quietly, the embarrassment that made her skin crawl, and the guilt that swelled in her chest like a tide threatening to drown her. She lay there, still for a moment, then slipped out of bed and walked to the bathroom. She turned on the tap, watching the water run as if it could wash away what she felt. She cleaned herself slowly, carefully—tears sneaking down her cheeks. A few minutes later, he joined her. He didn’t say a word. He washed himself too, avoiding her eyes like they were poison. The silence between them grew louder. Was it over? Had she been deceived all along? He went back to the room, changed the sheets, and lay down, facing the wall like she no longer existed. She followed him quietly and sat beside him, the weight in her chest making it hard to breathe. “So… what’s next...

Literature Failure, Yet a Born Writer

I’ve always loved writing, but I never really had the chance to explore that part of me—maybe because of the obstacles. But hey, sit back and let me give you a little introduction about who I am in the writing world. Back in secondary school, I was very fond of literature. Passionate about the subject, I loved every part of storytelling. I never missed a literature class. In fact, teachers began to notice how present and eager I always was. You’d think I was the best student in class because of that dedication. But no—I wasn’t. Ironically, literature was the subject I failed the most. Not because I didn’t love it, but because I wasn’t very good with English. Oh yes, you heard me right. I’m not as great with English as I’d love to be. Why? Let’s just say I’ve always struggled with remembering some rules of the language. I converse well in English—it’s basically the only language I speak fluently since I barely use my native tongue—but writing it has always been tougher. A test once plac...

The Bridesmaid’s Confession

  Art by Anthony Azekwoh , The bride’s maid short story competition: “Oh my God, he is not breathing, what are we going to do?” I said in a terrified tone. “I don’t know, but let’s try and dispose of his body, and clean up the blood. I don’t want to go to jail,” she replied in a shaky voice. “Dispose of the body? How? This is not how I planned my life,” I said in deep regret. “I know, but remember—he was trying to kill you. Let’s just get the body out of the room first, then we’ll figure out everything later,” she replied, trying to convince me. “I’m not sure we are able to do anything now…” I paused for a minute, then exhaled. “Okay, I’ll lock the room. We’ll go out together, and I’ll come back later and fix the mess. Come on, go dress.” Shit. I’m in a deep mess. I know you’re probably wondering— what happened? Let me explain. I’m Vurale , a bridesmaid who just got involved in the attempted murder of the bride’s ex. Yes, my friend’s ex—the one who snuck in and tried to kill her wh...
