NIGHTMARE4


'Bennie, let me not hear of this from anyone’. He barked as he pulled his pants up.  I gave him a 

side glance and noticed how long his weewee was. It was definitely big, long and was a little curved 

at the tip. How on earth did that enter my body?  I shuddered at that very thought, I was still in pains

'Now stand and go clean up'. He snapped.

'This my dear ain't the last you will hear from me,Well 

nobody will believe you if you go running your mouth because I am that perfect uncle everyone wishes for' He continued.

'No girl has ever visited me and you don’t see me in their company neither are my male friends of 

questionable character..so my dear better think twice'. He finished.

I didn't move a muscle as he spoke, I was weak and I felt defiled. My heart was filled with anger and 

I vowed to make him pay.

My door banged shut and I knew he was gone. I let out a sigh of relief and fresh tears ran swiftly 

down my cheeks, I stood up and ran to the bathroom. I went under the shower and stood there letting 

the hot water bite my skin if only it could peel away the hurt I felt in my heart. I scrubbed my body 

vigorously wiling the act away. I couldn’t touch my butt because it was still sore, very sore. I was too 

young to go through this but what could I do. I sat down even though it felt like something was still 

stuck up in there.

I wanted my dad.

'Hello is anybody home?' That was mom. My beautiful mother. I decided in my heart that I wouldn't

tell her about it. She had enough troubles already plus we barely have enough to feed with or 

pay bills. 

Since Dad died we've barely had enough, things were difficult and Mom tried to put up a smiling face

for our sake. Sometimes uncle Duke helped with  some bills. I wont add to her worries and 

besides mom may not believe me, after all uncle duke was her younger brother.

'Bennie'. Mom called

'Hi Mom' I replied with a grin plastered over my face. I wont give anything away. I may be young 

but I was smart and maybe a bit too matured for my age. Everyone said so.

'How was school today? Made friends yet'

'School was good I really enjoyed the history class'. I've always had a thing for histories.

'So? How many friends have you made'

'None, Mom but I'm cool with the kids in my grade. Just the normal 'hello hi'. Who needs close 

friends anyway'. I shrugged.

I didn’t want any. I had become a loner and a sadist since Dad's death.

'Well Bennie, I would like you to make some new friends. You didn’t cry at your dad's funeral 

and I am scared you've put all the hurt and anger sealed in a liitle teapot. You need to let go'.

'Dad will be back' No one seemed to understand that.

'Bennie? Your dad won't be coming back. He is gone forever'.

'Where is  uncle duke? Hope he is fine'.

Uncle duke’s name had brought back the memories.


Soon I will make him pay....

NIGHTMARE3

     We had moved to a new town because mom couldn’t bear the memories in our former town, she said each turn on the street reminded her of dad. I knew my Mom hurt deeply,she loved my dad and most times in my little mind I had prayed for that kind of relationship with my future wife, it was too early but who cared? I was jostled out of my thoughts, Dad was gone. He was gone a long while now but I hadn’t lost hope he will be back.
Uncle duke had moved in with us, he told mom he wont let her grief alone. I was grateful he moved in with us I loved him. We all lived happily and for some time nobody spoke about dad but I knew deep down that he was in our thoughts. Jodi went back to boarding school and I went to school from home. We had managed to achieve some kind of peace.

It was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon,

N I G H T M A R E II


I anxiously waited for Jodi's reply. I couldn't wait to hear about what happened to Dad and why he lay stretched out in that box. I felt something was wrong but I wanted Jodi to reassure me, wanted him to tell me I was being silly. 

'Jodi, I'm waiting!!!!!!! what happened to Dad' I asked Jodi again.

'why don't you just remain in your room until you're called' He snapped

"Dad please wake up!!!!!!!!!!" 

"let us play catch, Daddy!!! wake up and carry me"  I sobbed. My 7 year old mind was yet to understand what death meant but Dad wasn't moving nor did he blink which was unusual because he was never too tired for me.

OUTCOME

I was indoors for long. I told my parents and they were really mad at me. My parents haven't spoken to me in a long while now.
I will keep my baby. I rubbed my stomach and I remembered everything that had happened few days ago. Eddie's reaction was terrible.
"Eddie, I'm pregnant" I mumbled out.

NICKY


I saw Nicky in school walking towards me in her usual happy bounce.  

She was always full of positive vibes and was optimistic. Nicky my best friend, to me she was the perfect friend anybody could wish for, she was my sister even though I had two blood sisters. Nicky was more beautiful than me, she was a stunner. She had almond shaped eyes that crinkled at the corners in a lovely way anytime she laughed
