[MUST READ!]: DIARY OF MY PASTOR'S WIFE (Episode 8)

...to walk down that aisle.

The spirit of motivational speaking left me, the spirit of boldness left me. My mind wasn’t at peace.

I stood up gently and walked out of the auditorium, not minding if there was heavy downpour. I walked into the rain, I was soaked but it didn’t matter.

“Excuse me madam” a lady’s voice screamed behind me. But I didn’t turn. I drove off that evening, in my wet body.

***

The next morning, I woke up in pains. I felt my panties wet.

I knew something was wrong, I dipped my hands into my panties and saw blood.

It was menses, I cleaned up and prepared the kids for school.

As I alighted from the car to drop them in their classes, a woman dressed in a corporate attire approached me.

“You are so weak, why did you allow a common maid to take away your husband?” she asked boldly.

But I didn’t reply. I dodged her and took the kids to their classes.

As I drove home, my phone rang. It was Salma the choir mistress of hills ministries. I picked the call reluctantly.

“Hello?”

“Good morning maama.”

“Morning Salma.”

“Maama, the church hasn’t been the same since you left. we’ve lost lots of members. we really miss you. the youths miss you. the church….”

“Well, God has reasons for everything.” I cut in.

“Pastor just informed us that Ifeoma has put to birth to a baby boy.” she said in a lighter tone. My heart fell, as I took a deep breath.

“Thanks be to God.” I said.

That day, I wept all through.

I had series of dreams; I saw myself breast feeding Ifeoma’s baby. Then I woke up and saw deeper blood stains on the bed. I changed the bedsheets and kept crying even more.

I didn’t know what to tell God anymore. But I was positive that he was going to do something.

Zombie Vampires Chapter 2

12 YEARS LATER Taking a seat in the break room, Jaycee retrieved her phone and searched for messages, but none were found. With three remaining hours in her shift at the Glory Hole, her jaw was already aching. Aware of six more appointments before her shift concluded at eleven, she harbored a reluctance to complete them. At that moment, Cassandra entered, taking her soda from the fridge and joining Jaycee at the table. While Jaycee was engrossed in checking Facebook, Cassandra observed her activities. “How’s your night so far?” Cassandra asked. Jaycee looked up and replied, “I had three customers,” “So?” “I don’t like certain customers,” Jaycee replied. “Why not? Preferences?” “No, just don’t like them, never did.” “Are you from the deep south or what?” “No.” “I never met someone with those preferences before, do you express that in public?” “No, doesn’t come up in conversation much,” Jaycee replie...

Zombie Vampires Chapter 9

TYNICE Jaycee decided to start her first day at work catching up on the laundry. It had been two weeks since the last housekeeper had done laundry and Brandon only did enough for his father to get by. Heading downstairs, Jayce could hear the sound of a television and realized the vampire family must be living in one of the rooms close by. As she made her way down the hall to the laundry, she spied a young black girl in a room sitting on a couch watching the television. She looked to be around thirteen years old. Jaycee stopped at the doorway to introduce herself. “Hi,” Jayce said getting the girls attention. “Hi” the girl replied. “My name is Jaycee and work for Everett now. I’m his new housekeeper.” “My name is Alondra, my sister’s name is Veneshia, we live down here,” Alondra replied. “I heard that your live with your mother, is she around?” Jaycee heard a woman’s voice reply, “Yes, I’m here,” Jaycee was surprised to hear a voice not realizing the mother was standing behind her in...

Zombie Vampires Chapter 6

FRIDAY Jack handed a cup of meds to a resident from his med cart with a glass of water. He watched the resident take the pills and took the cup and glass back tossing them in the trash. Up on the television in the day room was a newscast about a beheaded vampire body found in an old farmhouse on an abandoned farm. The same farm he and Mike had disposed of Randall’s body six months ago. Jack swallowed hard and stepped into the med room to call Mike. Once the door was closed, he had Mike on the line. “Did you see the news?” Jack asked. “What news?” Mike asked. “They found the body,” Jack replied. “Holy shit, I thought they’d never find it out there.” “Well they did.” “Don’t panic, they won’t be able to tie it to us, it’s been too long. The body is probably bones now,” Mike said. “I know, I’m just freaking out because it’s on the news. I don’t think there’s any way they can tie it to us.” “I’m surprised they didn’t report that fucker missing a long time ago.” ...
