A thick forest surrounded the place, its lifeless trees making ominous shapes in the deepening dark. This was no place of comfort. A sense of forbidding clutched at her chest. Suddenly, she saw a man on horseback, galloping towards her down a narrow path cut through the woods. She stood transfixed, unable to do anything but watch and wait.The man was wearing a deep dark robe, very unlike the dress worn by human beings. On his feet were pointed nails. A dark, hooded cloak flapped wildly as he drew nearer on his black steed, his piercing eyes glaring at Saudah. He drew the horse up to a walk, never averting his eyes from hers. They were the scary steel-dark eyes she had never seen before, which seemed to beckon her against her will.

As she opened her eyes and strained to read the hand of the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already time for the madarasah she had joined just last week. She realized the strange feeling that always follows every dream. Rubbing her eyes with palm, she threw her feet over the edge of the bed and stumbled into the bathroom.

She then left the kitchen and peeped quietly through the door's knob only to see a big, black snake almost as thick as a child's arm and perhaps a yard longer."Ummi! Ummi!" Asiya's terrified shriek broke the serenity of the day and Saudah's twilight state. Saudah was suddenly startled out of sleep and saw the snake rearing its head in her direction."Help! Help! Help! Snake! Mummy, Snake!" She cried out in horror. Hajia Balkisu, who had also been awakened to Asiya's hysteria, quickly went the way of Saudah's room and pushed the door open. She then saw a big black snake raring its head in Saudah's direction. It was the one in vapor shape, and it had been with her for almost half an hour. The bed was still lumpy with the pillow she had tucked unde
