OBSESSED
Episode 6

Jade closed the door behind her but didn't take an inch step. The room was dim, even while it was still day. She approached side ways to put on the light but felt a presence.

"Who's there" she called out but silence replied.
Switching on the light, she had a better vision in scanning the area. She walked slowly, proceeding toward the bedroom as the living room was devoid of any life and was as neat as she could ever imagine.

"Dess" she called, walking slowly.
"Mum?" She repeated
"Anyone?" She approached Dess's bedroom and pushed the door knob.

The room was scattered, with papers littering the area.
It seemed somone came to search the room.
Jade walked around, taking any clue she could gather.
She paused, seeing some clothes lying on the ground.
It seemed someone is fleeing, running away

"But why would Dess run away without dropping any message" she asked herself, still confused.
She took her phone and snapped the room. Everything corner and every angle. She was sure there's something she would find. But she had to leave, immediately.

As she turned to go, Jade noticed a frame, lying at one corner of  the room, shattered and she picked it up. It was a picture of Dess and her mum with a small boy who looked very familiar but she couldn't remember where she had met him. Even Dess looked familiar from the very first day she and Jade met but Dess claimed to have met her at the school clearance hall. Where she said she worked as a Janitor. Now she could imagine with the way Dess mother is, how could Dess be working as a Janitor. They had the money.

She removed the picture from the shattered glass and slid it into the coat's pocket. 
Jade walked up to the door, and for the last time, turned around to look at the room again. She knew something was definitely off but can't place a hold on it. Dess has been her confidant since they started being friends. And Dess surely was a nice person. Even if something was off in this scene, it might be from another source.

Jade left the room and proceeded to leave the house. But decided to check on the mum's room. She might bw tied up or something, Jade thought and went for her bedroom.
She approached and pushed the door knob. It was stuck. It seemed the door attempted to open but something was blocking it.

"Mum?" She called out still trying to push her way through.
"Mum are you there?" She asked again but felt a strong urge to leave the place. She thought of going but doubted if she was to.make the right decision. For all she knew, the woman might be inside the room, tied up.

With all her strength, she pushed one more time but it felt like whatever was blocking the door, was meant to even block a male boxer from entering. She gave up and decided to leave.  The feeling of leaving was getting stronger by the minute.

Jade exited the compound and called the taxi.
"Please come pick me up from where you left me"
"I'm not working again today. You said tomorrow"
"Please, it's urgent"
"Okay but fare would be doubled."
"Whatever you say".
Beep. She dropped the call.

As she waited for him, she placed a call to Lizzy.
"Hello?" Jade spoke but no one replied even after picking up. The background was silent, no noise nor chattering.
"Lizzy?" "Hello"
She kept calling out till she hung up and called agian. It was the same thing she experienced. She would call, someone will pick up but no one would talk.
She felt weird. Her life has been weird since she lost her womb. Things has been happening, and strange things at that.
She placed a call to the taxi one more time.
"I'm close by" he said an hung up immediately.
"Huh?" Was only what she could utter.

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
