UNFAZED (continued)

Hey guys, if you are just joining the wagon, I will link below the first and second parts of the story. UNFAZED I UNFAZED II ****************************** I knew I couldn't continue to punish my self as it would only damage me, all of this wouldn't have happened if I wasn't trying to make friends that lived around. Aunty Karis and her husband were kind enough to make sure i had a proper bath and prepared bowls of food. Their home was so full of love, it was nothing compared to mine where all we did was forcefully please each other. ‘Nne, hope you are feeling better now', Aunty Karis asked. ‘Yes Aunty, thank you', I replied. ‘We are very sorry about what happened to you, boys like that shouldn't be allowed to move around freely', Uncle Ndu Said. ‘He can't go scot-free, God will surely fight for you.

UNFAZED

School wasn't on session and I wished I had friends to visit as I was always indoors and going out was practically a taboo in our home. “Take one thousand from my wardrobe, buy kerosene with it", Dad said, bringing me back from my very short trip to space. I hurriedly left to take the money, mischievously I thought about buying kerosene 800 instead of 1000. Somehow I managed to get away with most of my silly acts. After washing the dishes and cleaning the table, I took the kerosene keg, an old groundnut oil keg that was washed clean and converted to a kerosene keg. It was past eleven, i had to hurry so we would make lunch on time. The walk from the house to the petrol station was a short but lonely one.

Sick Obsession

Source: Unknown I got myself this fine hunk for Christmas, he let's me touch his beards and gives me back rubs in return. He is my best friend...my bestie. I'm starting to fall in love but there is one small issue. He is married. Chris visited on new year's day, I couldn't help myself, I asked him for sex and he gave it to me passionately. He told me it was just what it was...sex. He said he couldn't give more than that. He loves his wife dearly. I'm hurt. If I can't have him, no one will. I wore my darkest makeup and made my way to his home. One small fire, I watched the house burn to the ground. Chris has become ashes. I miss him..... A/N : Staring at nothing inspired me to write this, I hope you enjoy it ☺️
