About me

 

Hi, I’m Bariduura Lois ðŸŒ¸
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

I’m scared of men because...

There are so many things to be scared of men for: the  terrible acts of  raping, murdering, and harassing  that occur  daily. But there’s one  fear  that even the so-called  "good men"  partake in, and yet they don’t know  it is a betrayal . There’s nothing more demonic than a man driven by  a specific kind of  passion—not the passion to actually want to be with you, but the passion of a one-time pleasure that drew their attention to you:  the release of the whitish, milky stuff called semen . Oh, they are players in that field,  using a  strategy of lies, engulfed with one desire: to ease the burden of the  organ  stuck between their legs. They can’t seem to pause and realize how much they are dealing with the reality set in front of them, which is the real human, who has her emotions locked in to his sweet, cunning words—the one she listens to for hours, and  starts  imagining her great life with...

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...

Sundays are lonely nights.

There’s a stillness about them that makes the world feel too quiet, like everyone has someone except you. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in the familiar ache of my own solitude, when my phone vibrated. “Lonely introvert , what’s up?” Esther ’s voice burst through the speaker—dramatic, chaotic, and full of life, the exact opposite of the heaviness weighing me down. She always knew how to pull me out of my thoughts. “Please, Esther, I’m not lonely. I’m writing,” I said, rolling my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “Besides, you know I’m an introvert. My social battery is—” She didn’t even let me finish. “I’m coming over. Dress up. We’re going out.” “Esther,  biko  (please). I have work tomorrow morning. I can’t afford that club—” The line went dead. Ten minutes later, I heard that unmistakable voice outside my door. “Introvert! Open this door o!” She kept knocking like she was auditioning for a percussion band. I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door....
