the cocoon of lies

Something went wrong.

Grace, her mother called. Go and prepare dinner make sure you don't get the food burnt. Your father hates it when their salt exceeds the food. Use the red oil and the native seasoning so that the food can be tasteful. I want to go and greet our new neighbour. They parked in yesterday, it won't seem well if I don' go there to say hello to them. Keep my food close to the stove so that it will remain warm until I get back. Okay, mother, I will do everything you have asked of me please greet the new neighbours for me. Till you get back, let me call Tee to help me in the kitchen. Grace don't allow her to use the sharp knife, let her use the one with the red handle. Tell your father I will soon be back. But as their mother was going to the neighbour's house she got hit by a motorbike, she fractured an arm and broke three of her ribs. Grace was in the kitchen the news got to her. She had to stop whatever she was doing to rush to the scenes of the accident. Her mother was unconscious. Many people surrounded her, but Grace had to push her way through them before she could gain access to her. many of them were her kins and friends. Many of them spoke to her. Don't worry Grace, nothing is going to happen to her. We are just waiting for the ambulance which is going to take get her to the hospital.
