AYINKUS
SERIAL NO 001
TITLE: NO WILL
Downcast, a twenty-four-year-old woman sat on the edge of her bathtub, curled her arms around her midriff, and wept silently to herself. It had been like this for the past two weeks since she had her sixth miscarriage.
Was this life?
Her parent's life was perfect. Their marriage was stable for Twenty-five years and they were still going strong. She was named after a valiant woman. But, she didn't even feel close to it now. Her eyes fell on the pregnancy test kit again and a deep sob wracked her. The line was glaring at her. It was positive.
In the same way, it was positive Uduak was going to kill her this time. Her skin went clammy as spots danced before her eyes. She wasn't even sure she had the energy in her to defend herself when he was back from the garage with the weapons.
She needed to get the letter she had written down before undergoing the test. They were words she couldn't tell her mum on phone. Or even face to face. Hot tears stung her eyes as she drifted into the room and grabbed the letter from the bed, folded it, and slipped it under a heart-shaped lamp that her mother had given her on her birthday two weeks ago.
Hands shaking, she grabbed her phone and called her mum. She picked up in a matter of seconds.
"Esti? Darling, how are you?" Her mum's warm voice almost made her melt and spill it all out. But she couldn't. She was sure he listened in on her calls.
