‘Oh my! How did all these chickens manage to escape? Suzie did you or your brother tamper with the locks of the cage?’ Sean puffed as he ran behind the hen, balancing one under his left arm. After a few strenuous runs, he managed to capture or rush most of the hens back inside the coop. H

Sean was not one to ask for help, so after wrestling with the decision for a few days he swallowed his pride and paid the man a visit. He sighed recalling that day.The bastard had kept him waiting for half an hour. Walking cockily into the shop, Bringo motioned for Sean to follow him to the back door.‘So,’ he began, ‘A small bird told me that your brother has found himself in some trouble.’ Sean recalled saying. ‘I don’t know w

***‘Good morning, Mrs. Montgomery. It has been some time since we have seen you on this path.’‘Hello, Mr. Popo.’ Yes it has been a while. How are the girls doing? I heard that the madam has been under the weather. I hope that she is back on her feet.’‘Oh yes.

‘You should use a scrubbing brush on it, not your hands,’ Mrs. Lambert continued. ‘For the life of me, I don’t understand why you want to use your hands on such rough material. At your age, you don’t know how to wash jeans. If you continue this way, the process will drain you, and to make matters worse, you have no size, eventually you will finish. You need to eat some more dasheen and yam to put some meat on those bones. Too much rice and pasta not good you know.’Fautina ignored her and started on a skirt, lifting the material in the air and slapping it down hard on a nearby stone. The suds splashed,

Sean placed her right foot down and started on the left. ‘I know she is facing a few challenges with the boys, but it should be the children’s fathers’ responsibility. I tell you, once she sees me, she automatically becomes an invalid. She also has a lazy bone because there are women who will get up their tail and not wait on a man to do everything. How would it look if I don’t help?’ He sighed. Shaking his head Sean continued. ‘Recently poor Richard has been feeling the strain with his bad leg. She calls on him often. I am glad that I do not live close to Christie.’‘Well,’ Abigale responded when she able to get a word in, ‘Based on the conversation I overhead at the health

It was a blue and white packet with individual, smaller soft packages the size of a blue soap inside. Pulling out one, she opened it. It was a sanitary napkin. She recalled seeing something similar by Lorain. She fingered the material. It very soft and absorbent. She wondered if it was made out of cotton. She slowly brought it to her nose and inhaled deeply. It had a light floral scent, almost of fresh flowers.‘I see that you found the package that I left you.’Suzie jumped. Placing a hand on her chest, she turned and found her Ma hovering at the door of the room. She looked a bit unsure

Returning to the house, Sean increased the wick of the lamp, flooding the room with brightness. He walked around the room, slowly retracing his steps. He was checking to see if the perpetrator had left anything behind which would give him a clue. He checked meticulously between the nook and crannies of the room. He found nothing. Picking up a few cushions that had fallen to the floor during their struggle, he placed them back on the chair. Sean took a last glance around the room to ensure that nothing was amiss. He returned the lamp to its rightful place and went back to the bedroom. As soon as he sat down, Abigale stirred and croaked, h

Before Sean could respond, Lydia sashayed into the room dressed in a short, white dress with her feet bare. Her hair was dropped; Sean could see droplets of water clinging to the ends of her hair. It looked like she had just come from the shower. Involuntarily, images of the last time they were together flooded his thoughts. Sean felt his heart trip in his chest.
