When I close my eyes and lie down outside, I find myself re-entering my own imagination.
After making a purchase at my stepmother's request, I was headed back home.
I heard a shy girl singing not far from me. I strolled over to see who it was—a stunning woman wearing a tonne of beads who was as radiant as the sun in the morning. I started dancing and singing joyfully, then I noticed a viper approaching her. Before I could react, I opened my mouth, and the snake bit her, causing her to pass away. I sobbed in my sleep as I watched her fall, and then I heard someone calling to wake me up.I look away and see my stepmother standing in front of me holding a long tube. I can see how enraged she is, so I quickly get up.
"You lazy, stupid girl! You are worthless, just like your deceased mother, because you are sleeping here while there is no water in the house. I told you to go to the frontier and bring me some leaves, but you are still asleep! She attacked me with those infuriating words, and all I could do was cry and ask for her pardon.
"Mom, I apologize. I promise not to do it again! Her cuts were streaming down my sights as I begged. Her start palpates me until I break free and run off to find the leaf she asked me to find.
I was so tired from running that I suddenly sat down on a tree in the middle of the forest and closed my eyes, trying to forget what had happened back there.
"Hey, lovely woman? Why are you by yourself here?" I was roused from my nap when I heard a voice, looked up to see who it was, and was shocked to see that it was someone I knew.
I finally start to move away from her and say, "You are the exact woman who has been bugging me in my dreams! Are you a ghost? I managed to muster up some courage to ask her.
"Do you think I am a ghost?" She asked me a question.
"Well, according to my grandmother, people are only struck by spirits in their dreams!
"Do not worry, I am not! And why are you, a lovely young lady, alone in this forest?
"It is my evil stepmother! I feel so much better now that I do not even know why I told her this.
She chooses to accompany me on our walk until I spot the leaf that I am meant to bring home. I was wandering inside the bush to harvest the leaf when I asked her to wait for me, and I was shot in the leg.
Pov mystifying woman
When I heard the gunshot, I yelled right away.
"My companion! My companion! However, no one responds. I walked in her direction and was startled to see blood on the ground. I tried to chase after her but was stopped by bell sounds. I started to cry because these are the sounds from my home and I was being needed again. I quickly turned around and passed two guys who were staring at me in the forest.Note from the author
