MY TWISTED FANTASY

Just then, I noticed the date was 12th January 2018, it was not just another date on the calendar, it marked an anniversary in my life, a -not - so good one anyway, it was exactly the date I met Amaka at Shoprite Delta state, five years ago, where I was serving as a Youth Corps Member.

The date reverberated and echoed like the sound of a stubborn thunder bolt, clapping through the veins and arteries and perhaps capillaries of my heart. I saw an angel the very first day I set my eyes on Amaka, that I had to doubt her very human nature, she must have been a ghost, definitely not a human being.

I had fallen in love with her almost immediately, some would say it was a fall that could be likened to the fall of an object due to gravity, I fell flat, hopelessly, irredeemably in love with Amaka, we fixed a date for the wedding after three years of knowing ourselves and dating for eight months, but just on the eve of our wedding, news got to me, Amaka was no more; stone dead in a motor accident .

That was my fantasy, all twisted.
