TALANA II

‘Haaaaaiiiiiiiii’

That’s mama wailing.

The compound has the putrid stench of death stamped on it.

No one could hear the words she was crying out,

But we knew that it was unintelligible words professing love for her dead lover once more.

His hands had been cut off and his manhood too.

 His throat had been slit and His anus torn open.

No one wanted to consider how the latter had occurred…

Good God.

It’s safe to say that he bled to death.

The look in his eyes was that of abject horror.

As if to say he couldn’t believe it.

Hahaahaha

How could he?

Karma had come for him in the worst possible way.

Do unto others what you want to be done to you they say.

They didn’t say that it can come back in tenfold.

Poor mama but more so, poor Talana.

Who’d have known that she was sent away out of jealousy?

Uncle Clement could do no wrong in mamas’ eyes

So Talana took the brunt of the fall and suffered for uncle Clements lies.

‘It has to be Talanas’ spirit that did this’ mama says.

How true.

Talana is far away in the land of the dead with her baby.

So, she left me, her dear queer brother, with the spirit of a vengeful heart.

Do unto others what you want others to do to you.

Believe you me, it’ll come back in tenfold.
