AUDU'S NOTE

CHAPTER FOUR
Audu's Note.

"...the root of all evil."
                          Bible.

The story starts with Audu.
An African Man, from Nigeria to be precise, where Naira is the official currency[ and full of beautiful people by the way..trust me on this one]
Audu came out if the bank, a new One thousand naira note in his hands, this is the story of that particular note.
Audu stopped by a newspaper stand, had a little good nutured argument with the men standing around there about the state of the nation and its new president.
He bought a copy of one of the various newspapers.
The note went into the Vendors pouch.
50 minutes later, after being roughly introduced to the meager others in the pouch and threatened by a group of the more rough looking 100 naira notes- these were especially gangsta- The Note was used to pay for a cold drink, it slipped into the street hawker's purse.
The Hawker, 18 minutes later, received a phone call, she let out a shrill scream, and hurried into the next bus, repeatedly chanting "My son, my son, my son.."
The Note slipped into the Bus Driver's callused hands.
3 hours later, the note exchanged hands to one of several street thugs demanding passage fee through their stretch of road.
Exactly 6 minutes later, the thug went into a dark, twisting alley and bought sexual pleasures from a thug in the Alley- he was gay.
The Pleasure thug slipped the note into a slimy back pocket and closed shop for the day.
He turned the wrong alley, and was unfortunately hacked to death by a cult boy who searched him and grabbed the note with shaking hands, he slipped the note into his front pockets, amongst ten others, who were surprisingly nice to Audu's note.
The Note was spilled on the front counter of a small, derelict hospital, along with the others ten minutes later. The cult boy tears dropped on it as it slid over the counter in to the receptionist's hands, soaking Audu's note.
"I just got these...please save my mother!" He needed to save his mother.
80 minutes and 17seconds later, the note slipped into the receptionist/nurse's bra.
She glanced around to make sure nobody saw and quickly stepped out of the hospital to buy some hash. The note swapped into the dealers pouch, he stuffed the note into his jacket and dealt some more.
15 minutes later, he was back at home, he was a rich dealer- that he was, he rolled Audu's note into his stash in a shoebox and went to fix.
8 minutes later, the cops broke in and shot him dead, took the stash, and left him there.
The ghetto is a cruel place.
Charles the policeman got his share and stuffed it down his trousers, mighty pleased with his notes.
Audu's note was squeezed into his front pocket, shivering along with some others.
1270 minutes later after constant nagging by his wife for food money, the policeman pulled out Audu's note and threw it at her to buy food for the day.
Happily, Charles' wife took the money from her husband and sent the note to buy some bread through one of her children.
17 minutes later, Audu's note was In the baker's apron, already not the pristine note he was the day before.
Evening came, and the baker, In church, took Audu's note, and put it in the church offering bag as it passed, with the sign of the cross.
Audu's note went in the bag, the soothing atmosphere of the church calming it and making it forget...
4 hours later, the note was suddenly grabbed from the offering bag by a large, meaty hand and stuffed into a Large Robe pocket.
The head usher walked briskly out of the church, walking in the sure steps of one who has done something similar previously.
He walked some distance from the church before he wiped a sweaty face and bought some airtime from a nearby vendor, he really needed the Netflix subscription.
The vendor, an underage girl, put the note in her purse and went home to her Elder sister, to turn in her earnings for the day. On the way home, she was assaulted and raped by a group of men.
One of which Audu was inclusive.
She didn't meet her sister at home, so went straight to her room and took a rope.
8 minutes later, she committed suicide by hanging herself from a rope in her room, Audu's note still in her purse.
"The pain is too much." Was her only suicide note.
Audu's note swung as her corpse swung gently on the rope she'd used to hang herself.
In the purse.
Waiting.
                               ~The End.

According to a Nigerian legend, anything and everything found on a suicide victim's body must be thoroughly and utterly burnt, down to the last pin.
                        ~The Real End.
