LIFE THROUGH MY EYES: PREY (Fiction)

FICTION
PREY
........
1.

The widening of the zinc from the sun couldn't hold my attention. I could still hear her sobbing. I try my hardest to concentrate on the noise but it seemed my heart had a mind of its own. Hours from now, she would stop. She would enter the bathroom, pour a little water on her face, wipe it up with a face towel. She would come outside and smile brightly at us. We would do the same. This is what it is.

She would go into the kitchen. She would prepare the evening meal. She would call me to come serve his food and i will go down on my knees and as i stand in front of him, i will bow my head and leave.

It will happen tomorrow again.

One time i had asked her why she didn't leave him. She had told me no one had ever treated her better. She had told me about her parents calling the devil. Trading one prison for another i had thought.

"Your father only beat me because I'm disrespectful" she would say. "The devil in me fears him"

"The devil here is him" I want to say, but i dare not utter such words. She would tell him and he would use the rod while she stared gleefully.

2.

He comes back drunk. It's a daily routine. Some days worse than others. She let him in. She dare not.It his house after all.

She walks in front of him, like a servant; opening  every door for him to pass through.

He pounced. She let him
He didn't stop this time.

She's gone.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
