BEHIND THE SCENE | Story by Yusuf Muyibat Avosuahi.
Lizzy walked home, carrying all the fear one could think of, not only because her uncle's wife will scold the bone out of her, but also because her uncle himself is a demon among humans. She had no problem eating the left over or going to bed most times without any. She is used to all the insults and domestic abuse, but what she still can't cope with is her uncle's callousness.
He always finds his way into her room when his wife is not at home, then do to her all he pleases.
He took all her parents’ properties after their sudden death, yet his pretence makes people think he loves her; only if they knew what happens behind the scene.
One faithful night, Lizzy made up her mind to put a stop to it all. Avoyi, her uncle's wife was on a business trip, so Adeiza made his way to Lizzy's room as usual. She was lying still but of course not oblivious of the happening. Just when he was about to begin his act, Lizzy drove a dagger into his chest and ran out. She knew she wasn't safe but she was prepared for the battle.
Avoyi made her stand trial for the murder of her husband. After the court hearing, everyone took pity on her, having listened to the tape record of how she would beg his uncle severally before he will still force himself on her.
The court pardoned her because she was under 18. Lizzy grew up hating the phrase "men." At the age of 25 she was made to believe there are still angels among men walking among humans with their ever shinning white robe.
She found love, happiness and hope again after meeting Onimisi, who turned out to be her husband. With him she gets pass all the emotional torment she used to have and live a free and happy life ever after.
