"There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell." Sean Lennon
"Where oh where was the call of 'love' when my life so desperately hung in the valley of despair and death?"
Chioma Onwudiwe
IN THE PLACE OF SHOCK AND BETRAYAL:
The girl suddenly feels the need to stop by the theater one bright sunny afternoon. The time is off, there is really no reason for her to be there at that time. There was no meeting in the theater at the particular time. She sees a familiar woman waiting in the vestibule. The girl is shocked, because she had spoken to the woman earlier and she never told her she would be at the theater. The familiar woman was never even supposed to know anyone else, other than the people the girl had introduced her to. At least that was what the woman told the girl.
Once again there was an intrusion into her family. Once again there was an atrocity with an insider. Why was a distant oppressor so intent on dissolving any 'semblance of family security that she ever had, howbeit loose and untrustworthy.
All her senses kicked in. She knew that something was cooking. She knew now that what she always saw, would not anymore be relegated to a figment of her imagination. She could feel every fibre of her soul crying out in desperate agony for a pain that was yet to be inflicted. There was little she could do now, there was nothing she could say. The woman running the theatre had seen to it that she was cast away and dutifully ostracized. All she could do was watch and wait from a distance. All she could do was hope....
THE EVIL HEADQUARTERS OF THE UNIVERSE:
The sound of crushing was like rubber tires grating on cluttered gravel. The throbbing was spasmic and each thump left Lucer reeling to and fro in the agony of disequilibrium. Although he would never again feel pain in his molten chest cavity, this latest canon fired from enemy territory would render him paralyzed. So paralyzed, that most devious agendas would have to either cease or its root arm amputated. He hated this feeling of incapacitation. The crushing under the girls feet had impeded a very detailed, planned and highly devised operation. If only the girl had kept her voracious and divinely funneled information to herself he would have long advanced into 'Operation Get the Gullibles.'
Lucers pride was the symbol of self-preservation coated in foolishness. He believed that as long as he was having his way, everyone should be happy for him and show some 'love'. But when the tide turned and the enemy gained the upper hand, an upper-hand that was meant to dispel darkness and break the confines and enclosure of gripping shackles. Lucer was infuriated and cried 'treason'! Now his world was imploding and crumbling as it pertained to this girl. He was so sure he had her. Everything had been taken care of. When darkness had closed in, It was for the kill. Now here she was running wild and free. In love on one hand, and at war on the other. What an annoying multi-tasker!
Lucer projectively advanced to the walls of his palace, to get some embers that would simultaneously soothe and inflame his palpitating horns. As he went about setting fire to an already fiery atmosphere, he heard what sounded like giggles and cackles. He turned rapidly in automatic rage, gearing for war or where possible a necessary beat down for whomever or whatever thought his discomfort was entertaining. He reserved the right to inflict pain and injustice, not the other way round! When he saw nothing, he turned back to his roast challenge. Giving the four savage culprits time to scoot by successfully and undetected by him. They heaved a sigh of relief and almost thanked heaven.
IN THE LAND OF DREAMS AND STRANGE HAPPENINGS:
The woman in her insecurity and feelings of marital betrayal, has sold her soul to the devil. She has been promised a life of wealth and notoriety at all costs. So she targets the only institution that can easily take her in while calling her bluff. Through intense maneuver, manipulations and set-ups, she (yes, she) succeeds in getting the so called 'tape' into the hands of the kind old man. The plan is set, they are in. The spinning begins. She must prove to all that she is simple and humble as she spreads her net. The wider the net, the greedier they become.
In comes the girl. Through sorcery, the woman (the witch) knows exactly who she (the girl) is and what she can do. So she starts years of campaign, manipulations, treachery and wickedness. She builds a harem within the institution, recruits the gullible, hungry and downright dishonest takers. Her war-force is set and together they begin to torment, harass and malign the girl. They try every unmentionable deed possible, but the girl is not easily broken. What resides inside of her is greater than what the witch can summon in her dark closet.
Years of abuse in an unlikely institution causes the girl to finally run for her life when things start getting very devious and tangible. But the girl knows that her life has been spared for the sake of others. She is healed and whole. Not dependent on any substance or life style to make it through the day. She knows there will be other victims like her, who might not fare so well. So she hopes the perpetrators would change or at least deal honestly along the lines of what they claim to represent. But that would not be so, as theft, lies and oppression lead to even more deadly and fatal consequences.
The witch's husband claim they helped people in need. The biggest lie ever told to mankind! The only people receiving help are touts and plot executors. Lebezej's counterpart witch was not in need when she met with Lebezej. She had money, most of which was the girl's inheritance. She met with Lebezej, because Lebezej wanted to see her and they both had a common threat and plan! Truth or lie, aye??
The girl is in no way affected at this time. She has the rest of her life ahead of her and she is gratefully skipping into the waiting sunset. But as a healed and whole victim of abuse and injustice, she wanted to help and warn the gravely affected. Most of which may not know it yet.
