Intrepidity

 BLURB At the young age of twenty three, Andrea had to go through so many cataclysmic ordeal. She was forcefully taken away from her family by the man who claimed to love her so much — an obsessed psycho she knew absolutely nothing about. Every night, just like in nightmares, he would visit her room.  EXCERPT  "Just let me go, you bastard!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, blood boiling in anger and lips trembling as I spoke. "I want to go home." I added. Albeit not wanting to sound weak, my voice cracked. I felt scared — scared for my life. "Home?" He slurred, running a feathery touch of his hand along the length of my face.The coldness and coarseness of his hand, sent shivers down my spine. I began to hyperventilate as his touch trailed down my neck. "But this is home." His lips curved into a lopsided smile. ©Khadija Sidi Aliyu 2019
