NOMZAMO

Chapter 1

This day was probably the worst day of my life.The memories of my father,on his deathbed, his body was a withered husk. The once healthy figure was reduced to a pale shadow, a mere skeleton of what it once was. Like a ship slowly sinking into the ocean, his once strong heart was sinking ever lower, struggling to keep beating with each labored breath. With a rasping cough, he was like a dying autumn leaf, blowing with the winds of change. His body ached, his joints crumpled like an old newspaper. In his eyes, the light was flickering, like a candle about to go out.I decided to be the wind that blowed the candle out so that I free my father of the pain that was his shadow.His eyes begged for leniency and I ended his life.Just like that I become a murderer with the intention of rescuing my father from pain.

Earlier on..

Me:Dad I'm  sorry but I have to do this.I can't bear to see you like this.You are almost at the door of death and heaven is calling for you. It breaks my heart to see you look lifeless yet you're  breathing.(I took the pillow placed it on his face so that I deprive him of oxygen, his eyes begged for me to stop but I had no choice.His soul did not belong here.The pain was unbearable.I suffocated my father ,I heard him move  his body for me to stop .After a few seconds he was no more ,tears gushed out of my eyes like a water fall that had frozen in the winter season as the sun in summer released it.I saw ny father he looked so pale and lifeless.He just laid there.I hoped that he would wake up but it was just a facade.At that moment I realised that I was a killer .)
Mom:What did you just do .You've killed your father.Why would you do that?
Me:(I didn't look at her in the eye's I was just lost in my own world)I had no choice mother, he was already dead .I freed him from the pain he was being consumed in.I didn't do it purposely you should have seen him .He couldn't eat nor talk.I had to do it(wails)
Mom:But to murder him? What will you say to the police
Me:Don't worry about that because we won't be reporting anything.We'll say that he just died and no post mortem will be done, he looked so helpless and so dead.

My name is Nomzamo Ndlovu .I last went to school 5 months ago I think  (grade 12).Well I live with my mother Precious Ndlovu she is a domestic worker .My mom probably has the worst bosses. I sometimes ask myself as to why she still goes back to that place, they treat her like a slave and the white lady I don't like her even one bit. She looks so eviland hold characteristics of the great Adolf Hitler.
