Sixteen year old Amaka had a perfect definition for the four lettered word, LIFE.
For her, it was a decree where you did all you were told without question. Just like the tides in the ocean, The wind and the gale, you went where ever it took you.
It had been the same when she lost both her parents in a ghastly motor accident and was forced to move down to Delta to stay with her grand mother. She had been only eight.
She had settled in fine admits countless nightmares and anxiety attacks.
And now, after another eight years, she deemed life a bit bearable only for her grandmother to break the news that her fathers brother would be coming to take her to reside with his family at Abuja.
There had been no room for argument and for Amaka, it was simply another tide that was here to lead her away, she could do nothing but wait and watch.

When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same.
