King Adejunji's POV
I staggered, drowsy from a throbbing headache after a long stressful never-ending week though trying to bounce and keep my cool. Alas... it was finally over!
The sunset was enough to cast a silhouette of me which I couldn't keep my eyes off as I walked closer to home sweet home .
As usual some passer-by girls gazed at me as if looking at the twinkling stars. Funny how I can't get the mighty "chelly" to.
As I drew closer to the house I heard clattering sounds and muffled suffocating screams that didn't seem like it was going to subside any sooner.
A defeating thought hit me!
No way!
Was it... dad?!
It was too much of a reality to try being skeptical
I warned her!
We had earlier crashed out about her reckless plan about taking dad down as he was getting too attached and losing his whole family most especially... himself! But she wouldn't listen. Dad was never and would never be that easy to be thrown off balance, he was a man of his words.
I stood completed frozen and zoned out immediately I flung the door open. Fear gripped me as shivers ran down my spine
"Believe it or not, it was happening". I tried to tell myself as I couldn't take the whole thing in at once
As I imagined, he was in to do worst now!
His eyes were bloodshot with no remorse for the poor thing laying on the floor helplessly, already seriously bruised with vigorous scratches all over her. Her clothes, shattered and leaving her almost naked.
Right there in his arms laid a kitchen butcher knife in his behold. My eyes widened as it took me to the edge of premonition
As she turned to give me her last glare "King" without words I could feel her calling out to me, I could see those eyes filled with; pain, love, pity. As spoke me "I couldn't keep on with this anymore, please king, I'm sorry "
That does it! I was never going to lose to that cowardly monster that was right in front of me, hardly having any slight snitch on the occurrence of my presence. Most especially the man that is giving up on me and my mother's future.
Before another blink, I rushed at dad, ignoring the ineffectual feeling growing inside me but It was too late to stop now
Hrrr...
There was a slight bustle until I managed to take the knife into my possession but I wasn't so fast to keep it in my hold for too long, he hijacked it and swung it across my face recklessly.
Before I knew it, a smallish shadow ran like flash to come between us. She held dad across the waist, dragging him away from me. Before I could recollect the whole scene one more time; the knife had gone through mom's stomach
Cowered vengeance filled my soul. There was mom laying in her own pool of blood. I felt someone trembling beside me, it was dad, he hands shook as he sent the bloody knife crashing to the floor. He looked so scared more than ever.
"King..." I heard a call from what seems like miles away but was right in front of me as she slipped slowly to the tiled floor. Immediately I rushed to her aid to have a grip of her but all to no avail, it was then I saw a complete fissure between the living and dead.
I felt an adrenaline rush all over me... "Maami, Maami" at that point, I didn't mind my tears dripping down recklessly to mix with her sullen blood....
My hands, trembling...
Am I, am I.... a murderer?
I killed maami?!
I closed my ears tight as I kept hearing the words over and over again.
I took a deep shuddering breath and before another blink, I set to my heels now not looking back as I trembled in what i couldn't vague was fear or regret.
I raced into the cold night streets, more wistful tear kept me screaming out in excruciating pain.
Suddenly I tripped over what seemed like a stumbling block and fell flat to my face.
Slowly my vision started to turn dim until darkness comes in.
Not excluding my life.

Chelsea Akewesi's POV
When I see those glittering eyes, lust become a brimful glee.
When she straddled on me, even her badussy weren't still a blemish
That her imperfections, I always seek for those sulky...
"Chelsea," Reina walked in as she banged the door right behind her distracting me from my writing.
I returned her with a fussy glare.
"You aren't even interested in what I'm about to say"
"Well, I'm busy ok"
Reina was my roommate and closest friend in Hovanna girls college, apart from her all other girls were just her acquaintance. We never kept anything from each other (still, I was always a private person though. There's is that part of me I can't share) even our flaws but ever since I developed my weird gutty artistic writings it's always been a secret, well I'm not sure how long that will be now.
Just when I thought she was out of sight, I sneakishly got back to it. From now where she immediately snatched the little booklet from my hands to cure her curiosities.
"Stop! Give it back!" I twiddled round her trying to reach for it. gosh! She got great heights
"Hmm..." her eyes widened in what seemed like delight.
Her squinted eyes met with mine. There was absolute silence now. I couldn't read her looks nor what went through her mind.
She headed for the bathroom after that in silence and I shrugged off the thoughts of her seeing me as an insane weirdo.
----
That cozy night I found myself out jogging into the streets. My head kept spinning like my life which doesn't seem to have a particular part to take on.
I can't take it no more. I felt like I was about to explode I stood trying to fight the tears that brimmed in those eyes.
To the left there was a pharmacy store.
Was that what I needed now?
I've seen in many TV shows and movies how drugs had helped lots in overcoming anxiety but it really doesn't turn out good.
But right now, I want to get out so much out of this depression even for the slightest minute.The after effect? I can worry about later.
I was tipsy and wasn't sure what was going on, I tried to open my eyes when they went shut again with them catching the slightest glimpse of Reina.
She straddled on me as I felt weird touches all over me.
"Re.. Reina?"
"shhh... You want me right?"
I was thrown off balance, want her? I don't understand what was going on right now but escape was the only thing on my mind as I know for sure I didn't like where this was going.
I tried to scream but it was as if I lost my voice.
I tried to push her off but it was as if all the strength in me was drained.
Her fingers lingered their way to my burst; the second, to my undies.
Ho, no!
I groaned in pain,
In sorrowful tears,
Every slightest pain reminded me how my life would never go better.
Life will always be a piece of shit!
