The Scars-Episode 1(Young Dreamers) by Preye Johnmark


Dreamers they were, so avid and impertinent on doing and knowing new things. They had been friends since they could possibly remember, and they had great dreams ahead of them. Deep in the thick bushes of Arhavwarien, a town of the Urhobo clan in Delta State of Nigeria, roamed two young girls, running aimlessly through the small but thick forest and searching for only God knows what. “Run faster!” the first one said, who was obviously ahead of the other. “Ese wait, wait for me!” cried the latter who tried to keep up with the former.

Sometimes, I just don’t know where you get all these silly thoughts from!” she said while Ogho rolled her eyes. “Keep rolling those eyes of yours until they fall out of your eye sockets, may be then you’ll be contented, since you won’t have eyes to roll like a ceiling fan without control”, “Ese, Ese?”, “My name, and I can spell it out for you if you want.”, “Ese, stop nagging me, I am happy that with your own ‘model-like’ body, you’re able to run, climb trees like a monkey, and do things that boys do, you in return should be happy for me!” Ogho said with a faux frown creased on her face. They both burst into hearty laughter.
