As the nurses wheeled my mum's insensate body; if only that describes the state of her body, in death to God knows where, well I guess the morgue, I wept uncontrollably. The anguish was just too much to bear.Seeing the stoical expression on her face, realizing that I wasn't going to see that beautiful lush smile on her now expressionless face tugged a spot in my heart causing bitter tears to run down my face.Minutes after wheeling her away, I half slouched, half sat down on the creaking wooden chair in the improvised reception of the local hospital.The night yanked the horizon over the sun, silencing the world outside. Zoning out of my present state, I studied the environment I was in. I couldn't help but notice the almost dilapidated state of the so called hospital. The almost faded white, probably brown colour, of the uniform the nurses wore. The hospital was in a really bad state. It lacked equipment hospitals were s

Leaving the village was more emotional than I thought it to be, I had lived here all of my life, although I didn't have friends like every other teenagers do because I practically spend all of my time with mum but I do have memories here.I will surely miss the banters of the kids, the full moon dance, the fights in the yard, the shrill sound of Mama chinosom's laughter and of course the brass voice of the land lady.Putting the last important things I supposed I might need into my bag I took a glimpse around the house, I was finally moving, I was going to lagos.It took every ounce of courage in me not to breakdown crying, I felt like hugging the house, it held too many profound memories for me.For a split seconds I thought I heard mum singing one of her favourite songs, how I missed her! .The walk to the park was a lengthy as the only park we had in my village was 30 minutes walk away.

This chapter is dedicated to all my readers.The loud sound of a blaring car woke me up, I didn't know when I fell asleep at the front of the gate. I was exhausted anyways from the ride to Lagos and of course the Marathon race I ran hours ago.Lost in my thought, I didn't realize that  two people, a middle aged man and a woman who looks slightly younger than the man was standing in front of me giving me quizzical looks.The voice of the woman talking to the man jolsted me  from my reverie.'' Honey, what is going on here?, who is this little girl lying down in front of our gate''''Temi, aren't we both coming from work now?, how in God's name do you expect me to know'' he replied her.   Turning his attention to me, he squatted to my level and asked, '' Hello princess, how are you doing?, what are you doing lying down

 The sound of the door forcefully pulled open startled me at first but got me angry seeing as the intruder was no other person but Folakemi."What guts she has" I thought raising my eyebrows and masking up a bold face,  her presence slightly intimidates me."What do you want here" I asked with a fake smile. She totally ignored my question and sashayed into the room.She walked towards the wardrobe and locked the doors rather too loudly, she moved to the shoe racks sniffing at them, she moved to the window and looked out before finally moving to my bed side table.She picked up the novel I earlier placed there and flipped through the pages before dropping it back.    "I presume you have a flair for reading" she began.  Mean while, I stood surprised and partly scared as to what bussines she had in my room."So the
