Raped

On the tips of my toes

With an aura of fear and darkness all over

I realized that I was staying in a single room with nowhere to hide

It looked easier to light a candle than turn on the lights

I was panting to the tone of his footsteps

The plummet of the padlock alerted the bed bugs enjoying the luxury of my wooden beddings

The cold breeze signaled that the door was wide open

One eye closed, under my tiny bed reciting every single word of the Lord’s prayer

I could hear two gentlemen whispering to each, ‘’No need to rush, she must be inside’’

Their flashlights were brighter than those at the disco

Deep inside my heart, I knew it was just a matter of time before I was discovered

And in the heat of the moment, I was aggressively removed from my hiding spot with the clasping of my legs by one of these intruders

The second one quickly pressed his left hand over my lips, with his right holding a dagger

He then softly said, “Be calm, we won’t hurt you”.

Rattled in his speech, I was asked to stand and switch on the lights which were done without hesitation

At this point, my eyes were closed, my body trembling with fear

“Walk towards your bed”, said one of them in a rather commanding manner

Unwillingly, I did this whilst my eyes were closed

When I finally opened my eyes, my sight was met with the physique of a well-endowed lad

Pleadingly, I promised to give them anything they desired as long as they spared my life

With a hazy voice, one whispered in my ears

‘’JAMU EMPALE’’

To be continued
