EPISODE 2

My father told everybody that she died after a brief illness but I knew better. She died from the inhuman treatment she received from my father, and, it wasn’t a brief period. She had been suffering for as long as I could remember

Months went by and my mother was becoming a memory, but, her whispers sounded louder in my ears. She spent so many years whispering I always wondered why she didn’t speak up, fight back or just walk away.

One night, my father came into the house with a ‘strange woman’. That night, I heard sounds, the kind of sounds my father and mother used to make when they were not fighting with each other.

Giggles, laughs and then the squeaking of the bed. There were a couple of soft groans now and then, this was followed by silence, and the ‘bedminton’ was over.
