---
On a dark, rainy night, as the cool breeze followed a scorching day at the market, Titilope and her mother lay on their small bed, enjoying a rare moment of peace. Suddenly, a loud thud shattered the silence, and their wooden door flew open. Three towering men clad in black appeared, guns in hand, their faces hidden in the shadows.
"Who are these people?" Titilope's mother whispered, fear choking her voice.
"Where is the money in this house?" one of the men demanded, his deep baritone shaking the room.
Terrified, Titilope and her mother clung to each other, but when Titilope spoke up to defend them, the men only laughed, cold, merciless laughter that sent shivers down her spine.
Just when it seemed they might leave, relief turned to horror. In a swift, devastating moment, a gunshot rang out, and her mother fell, limply, silently, leaving Titilope trapped in a nightmare from which there was no escape.
A story of survival, loss, and the harsh realities of life as an orphan. Titilope's Journey grips the heart and refuses to let go.
