It was drizzling and cold outside. The street was quiet as it should be at this time of the night. The only sound that could be heard was the one produced by the rain hitting different roofs and the floor. Aside that, there were no other sounds as people of her streets were soundly asleep in their various homes. May kept walking and didn't care if she was gradually getting soaked by the rain. She wished it could wash away all the pains she was feeling at the moment.She spotted a large number of Aku swarming round a white bulb in someone's corridor. A basin of water was kept on the group just below the bulb so the unlucky once would fall inside and probably end up been fried the next day by the house owner.The owner would remove the wings, dry them in the sun. Later fry it with little oil, wrap them in a leaf with little salt spread on it and then, consume it. The rain termites were known to be filled with proteins but May never

Iby came back with a medium bowl with steams emitting out of it. He dropped it on table in front of her. He went back inside the kitchen and came back with the agege bread.She watched quietly as he dragged a stool to the table and sat down. They said a little prayer before they started digging into the soft paste which was normally called, "Akamu" by the indigene's of the country.He moaned to how delicious the meal was. He had added alot of milk and sugar."So.. I bought those for you." He finally said, breaking the little silence that had ensued between them.He scooped a spoon full and pushed it into his mouth when she didn't say anything. "Using those would help you. Maybe remove these pimples off your face and the cream would maintain your skin."She said nothing. He got tired and dropped his spoon."What is it, May? You ain't eating.""I am

They were silent for a minute or two until she broke it."To be sincere with you May, you are a strong lady—""I'm not—""At least you've tried to be. If you're not doing it for you, you have been doing so for your child."May gulped. It hasn't been easy."But I think you've been strong for too long, May. As women, we are to stand up for each other. If it's possible that we can put an end to this, I'll be here to give you my full support. I might be just nineteen years old and still in the University but I understand your pain. I do. So many women has been there before. Like, how can we put an end to domestic abuse in this country? It's a serious matter. Men like Edric shouldn't go scot free. They should be taught a lesson." she concluded.May admired her. She wished there were more understanding women like this in the country. Women that are willing t

Edric tore her skirt hungrily, not having the patience to remove it gently like the way lovers do. Her undies flew with it too.When she felt him inside of her, she winced while he moaned heavily. He seemed to be the only one enjoying it whereas May turned her head to the left side and silently cried.Being starved of sex for all these years, she was surprisingly tight. He liked the way it felt like she was squeezing him, crushing his walls. He couldn't believe he had been missing this for six years. Good six years.What was he even thinking? He mentally thanked Tina for making today happen. If she hadn't left, he would have been with her instead of his wife. The difference would have been that, he wouldn't need to struggle his way into her like he was doing with his wife. The foolish woman thought she was a match to have a battle with him. The thought only caused him to move to and fro with great force as he pinned both h

"Wake up." a familiar voice whispered. "Please.. Wake up May." She tried to open her eyes as she held unto the green bed sheets tightly with both hands on her sides as if it was stopping her to.  "I beg you, May. Please.. I need you. Maryam also needs you." The voice, from a low whisper, began to echo louder. The owner of the voice sounded desperate. She squeezed the bed sheets tighter whilst trying hard to ignore the excruciating pain coming from her injured wrist.  "Please.. Stay. Stay with me." She forcefully flew her eyes open on hearing that. Everything was blurry including the figure who was towering above her, looking at her with a sad expressi
