Bazaar Of Blood

Bazaar Of Blood
“Stop! Please I beg you! “. The woman said.

We were taciturn to her cries. We had her virginity for supper and her innocence for dessert.

“Let’s go before someone sees us”. Okaku said.
“No! I am still enjoying myself”. I said.
“Well, I am out of here!”. Okaku replied.
“Okay, I am done let’s go”.
We finished planting our seed into the woman’s fertile shrine.

We quickly vanished from the scene. The woman was still there sobbing, she was drenched in tears and pain.
“Oh! What have I done to deserve this!”. The woman said.

“Seriake where are you coming from?”. Mama asked me.
“Mama, Okaku, and I went hunting “. I replied.
” I just hope you not up to your normal mischief. Your wife to be is visiting us tomorrow”. Mama said.
“Okay, Mama let me go and inside and get ready for her arrival tomorrow”.

It was a tradition among the Ankas that the bride to stay at her husband’s place a month to their wedding. She was to visit in the night so that only her husband and his family members would see her. The next day, a fair maiden appeared at our house. She had a long and natural hair. Her breast was shooting out like a very ripe mango, and her beauty was foreign to my definition of beauty. Even the night’s darkness couldn’t hide her beauty.

” Welcome! How was your journey?”. I asked as I helped her with her luggage.
“It was okay”. She said in a low tone.
We welcomed her and took her inside. She brought palm wine from her town, which we drank copiously. We all fell asleep. When we all slept off, she and Mama were still awake.
She brought out a very sharp knife.

“My daughter what are you doing with that knife?”. Mama asked.
“Who is your daughter? Your son took away my sister’s virginity and I am here to have my revenge”. She said.
“Where is the bride that was meant to come here?”. Mama asked.
“She is no longer coming”. She said.
“But that isn’t possible nobody knows the bride, how do you know this?”. Mama said.
“That is because the bride is my sister, who your son raped. She recognized your son’s voice when he was speaking with his friend”. She said.

Mama wanted to shout, but she held Mama’s mouth. She hit Mama on the head with a stick that was beside her. Mama passed out.
“I won’t kill you, but I will make you suffer like your son made my sister go through pain”.

She slit Mama’s tongue. She went to Baba’s room and snapped his neck. She smouldered my sister(Dekibo) in her sleep. She then came to my room and tied me up in my sleep. The palm wine was poisoned, so none of us could do anything.

“Wake up you fool!”. She said.
“What is the meaning of this? Release me at once! “. I ordered.
“So you think you can go scot free with rape?”. She asked.
“I don’t understand you”. I said.
“Shut up! You raped my sister yesterday”. She said.

I was surprised, my sins caught up with me. I thought no one knew.
” Oh! So you can’t talk now”.
“What do you want?”. I asked.
” Revenge of course”. She said.

She covered my mouth with tape. She brought out a knife, at this point I, was sweating profusely. I could hear my heart beat like pestle when pounding yam. She cut off my manhood.

“I want you to die slowly and silently”. She said.
She plunged into my stomach and removed it almost immediately. My blood was flowing like river, my pain knew no bound. With my last strength, I cried out.
” heeeeelllp”.
