The two at the door began
coming close to me and
laughing wickedly too. What
should I do now? I asked
myself. If I should run to the
bed, someone is sitting
there. If I were to run to the
kitchen, there
was no back door to escape
from. I will be trapped. My
trouser was wet already and
it was so annoying. I have
never urinated on myself
since I was five.
How could I have
embarrassed myself this
way? But what will I do
now? I was trapped and
there weren’t a way out. I
couldn’t push through the
other two at the door and if
I should move forward,
I will be encircled in their
midst. I remained still where
I stood, beads of sweat
forming on my face and
dropping on the floor. My
palms were already sweaty
and shaky. I was just totally
useless… Like a bunch of
ripe banana waiting to be
plucked.
If I had known, I would
have spent much time at the
party. If I scream who will
hear me? All my neighbors
were still at the party with
no hope of coming back
soon. Who no like better
thing? When you have seen
someone who is ready to
pay for everything and all is
left for you is to come, eat
and drink to stupor. No one
cares.
The other two were now
closing in on me, with their
hands stretched out. I
checked my phone and the
battery was already drained.
What if I throw my Galaxy S6
at them and they disappear?
But after a second thought, I
realized that throwing my
phone at them will be more
disadvantageous to me. My
phone will spoil and I will
still repair it with my money
and if they don’t disappear, I
will lose myself and my
phone. So I steadied myself
and moved back a little. I
coughed and then
readjusted my composure.
Me: Wait!
The other two stopped and
looked at themselves and
then looked back at me. I
looked back and saw the
other still sitting on the bed.
“If I survive this ordeal, I will
never use that bed sheet
again,” I said to myself.
Me: Eh heh! Thanks for
giving me audience. The last
time I checked, I only knew I
had issues with Kosi which I
know even in death, we can
still settle it amicably but
who are this other two?
Why are you threatening me
too? Did I also not pray for
you two???
I was hoping to buy enough
time so that I can find a way
out. They began laughing
again, much louder than
before.
Ghost 1: So you have the
courage to ask us
questions??
Me: Yes na. Tis my
fundermental right. Buhari
hasn’t taken that away from
me too.
Ghost 2: That’s the more
reason we should make
your death faster…
They laughed again as
before. I looked back, the
other ghost whom I suspect
to be Kosi was now on her
feet. she moved to the
window side and then
turned back, looking at me
while I melted in fear.
No one with this encounter
ever lived to tell the tale.
Me: But why will you kill me?
What exactly is my offense?
I was now getting angry
and frustrated too. They
didn’t answer me, instead
they started moving
sluggishly again, (like those
Ghosts that will appear
in Resident Evil game in PS3,
in black attire). Then they
began saying in unison…
Ghosts: We need your
blood!!!!!!
They encircled me.
Me: Jesussssssssss……….I
screamed.
