"They watched movies on her couch and ate dinner on his. Laughter gave way to hugs. Hugs to kisses and whatever came after".

Eleni Noah wrote this story after seeing a man and a woman chatting on a balcony. Each on their own side of the divider, they seemed to be telling each other confidences while smiling and drinking coffee. In Berlin, where one hardly ever converses with neighbours, she found it interesting that they had gone beyond the polite “morgen” (good morning) to get to know each other and enjoy such trust.

Read more about this in her article: "Creating A Berliner Love Story"

ABOUT TWO SOUTHERN CORNERS

We are Nelly Sarpong from West Africa and Eleni Noah from South America.

The idea for Two Southern Corners was born a year ago after we met and became friends at a dinner party. We instantly connected thanks to our common passion for writing.

After Covid hit the world, and we all had to quarantine, we started talking about how we could write consistently. Then the idea of having readers (like you) lit up like a bulb. The thought of you, eager and waiting every week for one of our stories, inspired us. So, you, our dear reader, are the heart of this site. If it weren’t for you, none of these short stories would exist.

The name of our site is pretty simple yet interesting. Paraguay and Ghana are both in the southern part of the world and on almost exactly opposite sides. Also, even though Latinos and Africans live so far away, we found out we have so much in common; never-ending summers, bright personalities, vibrant cultures, and even similar ways of thinking. That’s the spirit behind the name Two Southern Corners.
