BOY MANIAC
Chapter 21
I was about to hit Kayla again when my daddy's voice suddenly rented the air."Stiles”
He fired, while grandma cast a look from me to Kayla and then to my Mom.
DAD!.........GRANDMA!!.......When did they get in here? Was I so intoxicated by my anger that I didn't see them come in?
Time stood still like never before. My pupils dilated, hands flailed and my heart sunk to my feet. I twitched as my anger faded, and everything returned slowly
What have I done again?
Kayla! her eyes were puffy from crying. Her entire body shuddered as tears streamed down her eyes in torrent.
A part of me immediately wanted to be far away from the room
"Stiles get back here"
My mom called as I headed for my room.I wanted to heed to her voice, I wanted to halt, but I couldn't summon the courage to face everyone."Stiles”

Chapter 22Sunlight filtered through the translucent curtains as I slowly opened my eyes; feeling disgruntled with last night, tiredness made me limp like wet laundry on a cold winter morning. Slowly I rolled out of bed stretching and yawning I headed for the window and drew the curtains. Sunlight bathed my skin as the curtains flew open and my eyes squinted shut trying to ward off the sunlight that bathed em.Just then someone knocked on the door“Yes who is it?”“Good morning sir, its me Teresa.”“Good morning ma'am.

Chapter 23 Mom rode through the gate, steered the car towards an open space and parked it. After we'd all alighted the car, mom hurried to the booth, and brought out dad's wheelchair. My eyes widened as they fell on a red bricked triangular shaped building with crystal blue and beige colored reticulated windows. The white building was surrounded by neatly trimmed flowers which gave it a calming and peaceful sensation. After hoisting dad unto his wheelchair, we all trailed behind mom as she pushed dad towards the building. My eyes travelled up the pointed tower which rose from the red roof of the building; admiring the enormous spire and the cross on top of it. When we got to a big porch, Kayla and Kathleen gave each and everyone of us a fleeting hug. After moments of hesitation Kayla also hugged me and ran off with her sister.Where are they going?I asked mentally, but mom replied as if she coul

Chapter 24My brain stuttered for a moment and my eyes widened like two flashlight beam. Every part of me goes on pause as questions swirled in the pool of my thought. Unable to comprehend the fact that I was on my feet, I looked away; gave my mom an uneasy glance and then looked back to see if I was still on my feet. Holly Molly I was.“Stiles, sit down,"My mom muttered. Still stupefied by my action, I remained still for a while before taking my seat.“Young man why did you sit down?”Asked the announcer.I didn't give any reply, rather I made eye contact with my mom and then raised my eyebrows which indicates: Should I stand up? But my mom replied by shaking her head which indicates: No! don't stand up.“Young man are you shy? Come on standup,”the announcer added calmly.I kept still, staring at my mom again, I swiped my eyebrows up

Chapter 1 The room was gloomy and dimly lit. The only beam of light in the darkness came from the screen of the Television. Nestled in my usual chair, my eyes rested on the flickering screen of the big box. On the screen of the box was a girl, staring at three traditional african dolls, all of them were dressed in white gowns. One was burned to a crisp, the second was only scorched on one side and the third was untouched by the flames. The girl reached out her hand and picked up the doll that had not been burned. She smiled down on it and caressed its cheek. The doll had eyes that seemed to sparkle. I stared in horror as the sparkly eyes suddenly warped into a bloody red. The doll cackled fiendishly, it's cackling was so loud that my windows began to vibrate. “JESUS CHRIST!” I blurted and quickly reached for the remote; turned down the volume and covered my eyes with my fingers. Through the tiny slits in my fingers, I peeked

Chapter 2 “if your daddy doesn't bring my money in the next thirty minutes, I bet you, you'll kick the bucket.” AHEM he cleared his throat, adjusting his red polka dotted tie. He took a long drag from his cigar and then plodded out. Wincing and groaning I tugged the manacles but it was futile. Minutes later, the bald dude and bulry guy on red T-shirt processed in. “That chair that you are sitting on. Do you know it's an electric chair?” Asked the bald guy on stripped shirt. I shook my head slowly. “Now you know it is, so better pray that your daddy gets here in the next five minutes or else, I'll turn it on and electrify you to death,” he threatened; pointing his finger at me. “why are you doing this to me?" I asked tears dripping from my eyes. “Why am I doing this to you? Well, I'm going to tell you since you are going to die a

Chapter 3 A sweet, velvety, and mellifluous song flowed gently through my ears. The song had a sadness; there was something somber about the notes as they sipped into my ears. My eyes gradually cracked open as the mesmerizing melody of the flawless voice lured me out of oblivion. For a while, I stared at the white blurriness above me. The atmosphere was hazy, like it was filled with smoke from a nuclear blast. Everything appeared like I was watching a low resolution movie with a very bad quality. I couldn't tell up from down. I was not sure if I was breathing; all I could do was stare into space. I tried to move my head but my neck was stiff, my muscles limp and my whole body numb and lethargic. I could tell that someone was staring at me, directly in the eyes, but I couldn't keep focus. I tried to speak but my wo

Chapter 4 I lay on my gurney, waiting for my mom to return so we could engage in our normal discussion: Our conversation were so much more than words; the smiles, the gentle shrugs, nodding, winking and bla,bla,bla. The light in my moms eyes gave me peace and comfortable. So I lay there; longing to see them. A figure caught the corner of my eye. I couldn't prevent myself from glancing at who it was. When I turned my neck around, my eyes fell on a girl. she was petite and dainty. Her hair was black with brown highlights; it flowed like a river down her tan shoulders; cascading them like a waterfall. She was putting on a casual form fitting gown. My gaze turned downward. She was carrying a white plastic basket in her right hand. “Hi stiles” she greeted; dropping the basket on the floor, close to my gurney. “Oh! Stiles you look great today. Your eyes, they look livelier than ever.” She sa

Chapter 5Slowly I picked one of the letters out of its enveloped; fixed my eyes on it and read aloud.“Dear Si...tailisi..”“I... I mean, Stiles.”“Ahem"I cleared my throat and continued reading.“I... Miss you... Alr.. Alr...”I said over and over again, not sure of the word so I paused reading for a moment, skipped the word, and continued reading. My reading was not fluent. I miss interpreted and left out a lot of words. I sounded like a baby learning how to read in kindergarten. I sighed anytime I made a mistake and skipped any difficult word. I paused my reading, pursed my lips and peered into AY’s face.“What!? Come on, go on, keep on reading, you wont leave your letters halfway will you?”“No"I replied slowly and shook my head.“I want you to read em, please read em for me.... I can't read em, I find it difficult to read em, please…”I added, placing the letters on her lap.“Styles, you are trying, just go on a
