I want to take this time to apologize officially to those who felt offended by the nature of the updates.

I stated it in the beginning that the story was written strictly for entertainment and to achieve that, I utilized the 'episode-by-episode' technique.

The idea was to make updates brief, scene-like and much more relatable. My busy schedule notwithstanding, I'm a writer: I could easily churn out a thousand word count update in an hour but it won't be as straightforward as I'd like the story to be.

If it becomes too heavy, more time will be needed to cut the edges, check round for plot adherence and eliminate redundancy.

If you'd noticed, the story was more 'shown' than told which was why it was able to gather this large audience. You feel like you are watching a movie.

You all want more because it was entertaining. If it hadn't been, nobody would care if I updated today or years after.

So the hunger screams and wailing was just as pleasing to me too.

We have just four more episodes to go.

After that, I'll decide (based on your contributions) if I'd continue with a sequel or start a new story.

Thanks once again for having fun with me.
One of these days we'll throw a party. grin

EPISODE 36

Vanessa rose quickly from the ground. She met Mma's wild open eyes and made a small jolt.

But she didn't relent. If anything, the malice in her boiled the more.

'You silly girl! So you think you are a cat eh?'
She picked the loaded syringe from the floor. 'You got nine lives, right?'

Mma stared, speechless. Everything seemed surreal to her.

But when she saw Vanessa push the needle into the sac above her and she saw the red liquid in the plastic bag turn deadly brown, her senses told her it was time to react. Be it dream or not.

She held the needle connected to her wrist and jerked it off. She felt a slight prickle.

Vannesa turned red. She thrust out her hand, this time to force the dangerous liquid direct into Mma's belly. The faster the delivery, the quicker the action, all the whole better.

Mma grabbed her hand in the air and held tight. She tried to scream for help but Vanessa threw her free palm over her mouth before she could let out a sizable sound.

She was weak but she held on. Vanessa tried with what seemed all her might to push her way down and deliver the deadly bite but Mma held her.

Vanessa never would have imagined that someone so sick would show so much strength. But she didn't allow her surprise get in the way.

Mma held on firm, till she appeared to have used up all the energy she could gather and tears streamed down her face from the corners of her eyes.

EPISODE 35

With a small smile of evil, Vanessa removed the syringe from her bag. It was loaded with the same wickedness that was to be found if one cut open her heart.

She fixed the needle and walked straight to the bed, to the silicon-like sac hanging from its holder above Mma's bed.

The plastic sac was half-filled with a bloody liquid. Its long and thin tube traveled all the way to Mma's wrist.

Vanessa was near the bed when one last step went awry and instead of holding the IV bag to inject her deadly substance, she found herself crashing down the tiled hospital floor.

She had stepped on Mma's heap of banana peelings. She had eaten then before she succumbed to the unconsciousness of sleep.

But now she was awake. The muffled scream of 'Jesus' and the thud of heavy body against tiled floor had awakened her.

EPISODE 34

Dr Hope had suspected she might be lying but she remembered her.

She was Cynthia's friend. She had actually introduced her as her 'sister from another mother', that afternoon they came for the pregnancy test.

Dr Hope remembered the short dark girl that was all smiles that day. Her smile was even larger than that of her friend who the good news was for.

She had remembered her perfect white dentition, the way it lit up her entire face in the smile.

She had wanted to ask her what brand of tooth cleaner she used. But eventually she asked her what she did for a living. Hoping to hear her mention dentist or actress, she heard pharmacist instead. Dr Hope had been impressed all the same.

But now that she had asked Nurse Bisi to show her the ward where the girl was, 'the poor girl'--as she'd referred to her, she had developed a bit of scruple.

Vanessa took a fat breath and pushed the door of the room open.

Mma was fast asleep on the bed.

5minsmadness:
Chimamanda was a university undergraduate studying medicine and surgery at university of Nigeria, nsukka until her 400l when she went on holiday to england during one of the strikes/school breaks. She had already begun her novel 'purple hibiscus' and was inspired to finish it there. She gave it to a publisher who was impressed with her work and offered her £1million pounds for it which she took willingly(before nko?). The publisher went on to make far much money than he offered for the book(probably bought the copyright too) and so both author and publisher were very happy. She became an overnight sensation and the rest is history.

When asked in a not too recent interview whether she would like to go back to school and finish medicine she smiled wisely and said something like 'someday'. But till date she hasn't done so.

This is the info I have. I stand to be corrected though.

This is false.

Episode 33

Dr Hope had told Cynthia that it might not be such a good idea but she insisted.

When the nurse showed her the ward, she delayed some minutes at the door before going in.

She stood in front of the space staring at Mma. She knew not what to say. Or maybe she struggled with how to say what she had to say.

Mma stared blankly back and then turned her face away.

'I'm so sorry, my little dear, I...I didn't mean to--'

Mma turned. 'Killing me?'

Cynthia dropped to her knees.

Mma's eyes narrowed in surprise. 'Please, standing up, ma,' she said.

'Forgive me, Mma.'

'I forgiving you, please standing up.'

'Oh thank you!' Cynthia stood and rushed to her. She bent over and hugged Mma tight.

'Please releasing me small, I still feeling pains.'

'Oh sorry!' Cynthia obeyed quickly.

When she called Ngozi to bring in what they'd come with, Mma stared at the colorful tins and packs of provisions and concluded in her mind that she was going to inform other patients in the nearby wards to come and be buying provisions from her.

Cynthia has gone and Mma was deep in sleep when Vanessa visited.
