THE ORO

Leaving behind my precious rabbit eared imported slippers, raising up our skirts to the waist level, revealing our thighs, staying almost nude and forgetting all about our surroundings. All this we did as we scrambled for safety, all three of us running as fast as our wobbly legs can carry, not stopping until we entered through that red imported door slamming it hard before collapsing into the rug. This had stirred up the rest of the family right off their bed in fear, as dad hurried to where his AK47 was placed and made it ready for action. We laid down there, exhausted and out of breath, thank God for NEPA that brought light in time for dad to see and recognize us just as he was ready to spray the figures sprawled on the floor, we would have been killed. Reading the countenance of my parents, no one had to tell me before I started relaying all that happened to them and as dad grew angrier, mum on her part was more alarmed.
