The morning was bright, the sun was up and seemed to beam in a smile
emoticon manner upon the city, its rays red as it gradually simmered up
the earth, everywhere was calm and still, the only bits of noise came
from a flock of tiny lemon-coloured birds that chirped noisily outside
as they hover between branches of trees that swayed back and forth. It
must be around nine am, I was busy having breakfast on the dining table,
cutting and dipping chunks of bread into my hot tea before moving the
soaked loaf into my mouth whilst staring through the window at our
compound when QT sauntered by from his room upstairs and playfully
tapped me on my shoulders as he's wont to do to say hello, I gently
turned to look at him as I took the last bit of bread into my mouth and
said good morning with my mouth full, he gave me a warm smirk and pulled
a chair to sit with me, staring intently into my face which instantly
made me uncomfortable,
"Wasup?"
I asked, he nodded affirming he was
okay, he then sighed and said he needed to get married, the bombshell of
a statement hit me unexpectedly some tea got into my windpipe and came
through my nose as I stood up aghast with my face down and my mouth open
to breath and calm down,
"Do you want to kill me? What is wrong with
you?"
