Martha Martha Speaks Novels & Stories

I could hear water dripping somewhere in the distance. Then I heard footsteps echoing through the warehouse. The steps were slow and deliberate. A woman emerged from the darkness like a wraith. Tall. Beautiful. Cold eyes. Completely unfamiliar to me because there was no way I would've forgotten an encounter with her. She smiled, and it wasn’t one of those warm smiles. “You’re awake. Good.” I struggled to sit upright. “Who… who are you?” “You can call me Martha,” she said sweetly, crouching down to meet my eye. “But I’m guessing Mateo never mentioned me.”

my mom encouraged, wanting to hear about my experiences in therapy. "Well, my therapist advises me to confront and process the events that have happened to me instead of suppressing them. Ignoring them will only cause me more distress in the long run. Therapy can be challenging, as it often feels physically exhausting, with my limbs feeling fatigued on a daily basis. However, my ability to speak has not been significantly affected. The attractive rasp in my voice is gradually fading."

she soon gathered her wolves. ARH-WOOOOOO! Strangely, Martha remained calm to see a group of beasts that were about to attack her, “Listen, mam, I don't understand what you’re talking about, but I won’t forgive those who wrong me and my family, so prepare to be cleansed!” On the verge of death, Martha Horton gripped her rosary harder and prayed, ‘May the Lord in heaven give me the strength to purify all evils and to protect the innocents...’

I turn white with fear when I see the person pushing the heavy-laden cart is Martha, the only person that loves and cares for me in this world. Martha is of African-American descent. The seventy-six-year-old maid has been asked to retire due to a hip injury that happened as a result of a bad fall but she outrightly refused to because of me. She was afraid I would one day be beaten to death if she was no longer around to watch over me and plead on my behalf

“I heard that, Sophia.” I gasped dramatically, covering my mouth. “Oh no! I’ve been caught!” Nathaniel chuckled beside me. “Busted.” Martha walked toward us, her robe tied tightly around her waist, her hair still a little messy from sleep. “For your information, we do more than just that,” she said, raising an eyebrow. “We also eat, sleep, and talk.” I scoffed. “Yeah, yeah. We all know the truth.” Martha smirked, about to reply when Alex stepped out behind her, stretching his arms over his head. “You guys are leaving already?”

With night terrors, insomnia, and many more issues. I pulled up to the market and came out. I was happy the moment I saw Martha. Martha is the resident old lady. Seventy-two years of age, and the woman who kept me in her house, in this pack for the first eight months. When I was scared, covered in scars. Martha is the only one who has a glimpse of an idea of my past. And she tells no one. If anybody can help Esmarie recover and teach her how to raise her children it’s Martha. Mother of none.

Aunt Ryan excused herself, and I felt alone and uncomfortable again, even though this time around it was better than stepping outside with her. “You must know why I am here!” Martha began, dropping her bag on the arm of a chair and squaring her shoulders in front of me in the most dramatic manner. “I—I don’t,” I said honestly, shaking my head. Martha threw her head back laughing. “Really? I confided in you, and you ran crying to my son so that he could disrespect me!” she said. Her tone sounded like it was laced with venom. Never in my life did I think Martha would speak to me this way.

Natasha wanted to ask her what she was sorry about but she kept her promise not to talk. Ten minutes later, mother and daughter were sitting in the kitchen. “Sean?” Martha asked. “Sleeping,” her daughter answered. “Aren’t you going to tell me what made you cry like that? I haven’t seen you shaken up like that since I was a kid. And where’s dad?” Knowing she could not tell her daughter about the actual pain that had made her cry, Martha was forced to talk about Luyando instead. By the time Martha was done telling her everything, Natasha was laughing and clutching her stomach, except, it was not the normal kind of laughter; it was a detached kind of laughter, painful to experience and painful

What do I do now. Suddenly door got opened and I quickly wrapped myself in bedsheets. "Relax it's just me, Dear" Martha said as she came inside. I visibly relaxed when I saw her.

Hearing this, her mother posed a smile at Martha. This all appeared unbelievable to Martha. The women in front of her, just like her father, had smiled for the first time in the day while on the other hand, her father who didn’t utter a single word ever since the last night, has recently spoken way more than what Martha had altogether spoken throughout the car ride. Martha said to her mother, “Let’s go. We must be getting late, right?” This again brought a blank face of her mother and the smile was now gone.
