Chapter 2: The travails left a trail The world mocks me. The palm elongates it's fonds just to whip my face. The car wouldn't kick as I sit in. It hates the stares it receives as I drive. Billy belches to his wife without the fingers. Why aren't you special too? Among arrows, I am the head; Among brothers, the twit; Among sons, the hapless; Among daughters, the recluse hermit; the one who dies young. Tears won't make me them. It hasn't. He points at her and worship her hit song. I shake my head too. But I won't sing with her. I can't; my coat has to be cut with my size. Omole wouldn't hear of waiting for years to school. She would school and Aunt Isoka would pay. The understanding between the two seemed inpenetrable. The older lady had no daughter, that could explain it. It could have been the family bond too. Afterall, all maternal aunts are good. She never knew her father, his relatives probably would've helped. They bore her of course. But both courses, Aunt Isoka probably wasn't ready to see her dreams erode as the sexual desires of a grandpa. Omole alighted the car after her aunt. She was making it an habit. It was the same way she alighted at St Rebbecas Hospital albeit the sadness wasn't so haunting anymore. The anguish wasn't gnashing her teeth anymore. She wasn't even waking to weep half into the night anymore. She must have realised it was necessary. Even, Aunt Isoka had seen a glint of her smile twice. She finally gained sanity. The rapist just couldn't hold his emotions - unplanned - ergo, not guilty. She must have realised too. Erneto Special Learning Institute didn't freighten her in height. She half smiled as the school's piercing beauty struck her. She found herself glad Iyam Special Institution wasn't built for day students. A fraught girl possibly couldn't board for three months. She felt gazes scorching her mild talcum skin; gazes that fought their ways through the blue gown she donned. 'Come on,' she saw Aunt Isoka already in the marked administrative block. Aunt Isoka just didn't develop phobias for buildings. Her heat eyes must have been helping. She walked in and met a smiling petite woman. The lady was special too. She knew she would have wishes there. Her heart smiled flourishly. She didn't feel any form of hatred towards her future baby father. |

Re: The Ash Rose by Wendysmart(f): 1:29am On Sep 10, 2015 |
your words are too BIG for me,am the simple type...but I grab your flow,at the initial stage I thought you were Thronekid...but what am seeing now tells me you're a different writer altogether. I think its quite unfortunate that an incapacitated mother gave birth to an Incapcitated daughter. Okay..your begining was eerie,i got the feeling that I was walking on someone's grave. Nice one dear |
Re: The Ash Rose by Nobody: 2:25am On Sep 10, 2015 |
Hi Op. Please could you take it easy on the big big English? If you can substitute them with something people can understand please do. |
Re: The Ash Rose by Nobody: 5:54am On Sep 10, 2015 |
This is a good read so far! Lovely! |
Re: The Ash Rose by Smooth278(m): 6:01am On Sep 10, 2015 |
Great story from an avid reader though I don't post stuff here a lot. .. will be following the story at weekly intervals... keep up the good work and for those complaining about the words pls carry a dictionary and check up some words; Sometimes we learn new words from the books we read so it's a good thing.... 1 Like |

Well done. The simpler your grammar the better. She struggled for balance is better than she struggled for equilibrium . 1 Like |

Your writing is highly intensive, engaging and penetrating. Your use of grammar is impeccable. You have a flowery style that not only depict action, but the thought processes that predicated the events. Your choice of character- extra-intelligent vulnerables is highly appealing. I dare say that you got it in you! Bring it ON! |
Re: The Ash Rose by OluwabuqqyYOLO(m): 10:21am On Sep 10, 2015 |
sleemoon:I'm very contrite, sir, but plagiarism eats up scribes faster than flames does a dry wood. I need to make my works secured and accessible by trusted minds only. Also, it's an ongoing project yet, I don't want to publicize things that much. Kindly try it now. 1 Like |
