  After the death of success, i shut down completely. My mother didn't

notice anything because she was always busy with the farm and our

kiosk at the market.

  In school i was always alone. I didn't want my friends to get hurt

or die because of me so i avoided them. I never paid attention in

class . I was just an empty shell waiting for when calamity will strike

again.

  My next victim was my PHE teacher. Mrs Edith was a chubby middle

age woman. I was sick that fateful day so i wasn't participating in

the exercise with my other classmates.

  She came to me and asked why i wasn't participating. I told her i

was sick so i couldn't join in. She just looked at me with disgust and

fury.

"you think pretending to be sick will get you out of participating

right?... You are so mistaken. Now go over there and pick pin"

"but i can't ma'am, i am really sick, i am not pretending" i said

tryin to convince her. But the more i begged, the angrier she became.

She dragged me to the teacher's office where i was flogged and

disgraced.

  My sickness escalated because of the strokes of cane i received.

That night, I made sure i didn't wish her death because the last time

i did, success died.

  I stayed at home for two days after that. When i went back to

school, i heard Mrs Edith was dead

. She drowned at the village stream.

So again, i have caused another death. I know talking to Mr ogoh won't

help, so i kept quiet.

  Days later, aunt rose, my mom's sister came to visit us with her two

children. Maro, the first daughter of aunty rose was assigned to my

room which was the only available room in the house at that time.

  I protested, but nobody listened. They thought i was just being

selfish.

Read " Mirage " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. That night, i stayed awake, i couldn't sleep from fear of

what would happen.

  Hours after Maro fell asleep, i was still awake watching over her. I

watched over her till dawn before sleep took me.

  Some time later, i  heard my mom enter my room. It was a Saturday

and we had to go to the farm. I opened my eyes and turned and told

her, i was already awake. She smiled then moved to the other side of

the bed to wake maro.

She tapped maro's shoulder and called her name but there was no

reply. We thought she was just a deep sleeper so i called her name

louder and shook her. Still no reply. That was when i noticed that

maro hadn't moved an inch from where she slept last night.

  Apparently, while i kept watch over her through out the night, she

was already dead.

  Aunty rose was devastated. She accused my mother of being a witch

who killed her husband and maro. My mother just kept apologizing while

looking at me. I was at that time, she knew something was wrong with

me.
