Onos' "DAYMARE"


She could hear her heartbeat, it was beating so fast as though competing with the kukeregbegbe masquerade drum, she was losing her breath… he walked straight to her in his half man and half fish form ,she wondered how he walked firmly on his tail. She becomes paralyzed the moment he touches her, she tries to run but he is swift in his movement and pulls her hair forcefully she squeals in pain. He forces his lips on hers and kisses her hard. He grabs her breast, digging his nails into her skin, she cries out in pain. He gently reaches for her neck and sucks the blood forming on her nape……..
Onos tried to fight herself awake; last time she checked nightmares only happened at night. She could not move, her whole body lay still like a statue. This can’t be happening to me she murmured, *No! No! No! No! No! this has to be a dream but she could see her surrounding, she was in the living room of her flat, the plate of starch and banga soup lay on the table unfinished, the TV was still showing Tinsel on Africa magic family, her pet  was right there wagging its tail waiting for permission to pounce on the left overs. Everything seemed normal except Onos who tried tirelessly to regain consciousness.
*****                *****                ******                   *******                *******       *********
Onos finds herself in a room, this time it’s her pastors’. “I can’t continue like this pastor, this has got to stop. I need deliverance, prayers, anything pastor; anything to keep this demon away. Please pastor help me before I lose my sanity. Pastor Okuku stared at sister Onos and knew he had her exactly where he wanted. He stood up and walked gently to where she knelt and said ‘’my dear sister Onos, there is nothing too difficult for God to do okay? All you need is deliverance and we must commence right away” pull your cloths sister Onos, the devil has to be defeated tonight without delay. Pastor Okuku rushes into another room to get his anointing oil.
Onos as if in a trance removed all her clothing except her underwear; she closed her eyes waiting for pastor Okuku.
He stepped into the room in his form, Onos didn’t hear any foot step she was deep in thought then she felt a familiar touch, this time very cold and eerie but she didn't want to open her eyes, that touch didn’t feel strange, she knew that feeling, it felt like a leaf brushing past her shoulder .it didn’t feel human……Onos knew this feeling. OMG!!!!!!
She forced her eyes open and standing right there in front of her was Pastor Okuku in half human half fish form. She screamed and begged him not to kill her, he ignored her plea and he dug his teeth into her neck sucking on her blood. Onos Screamed Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Hey Onos, get up!  What is the problem? Did you pass out while eating? I have told you Onos, you eat way too much. Who eats this much and doesn't pass out anyway, he sneered at her.
She looked at her elder brother Akpos and was glad someone actually woke her up from a terrible dream.


Phew!!!!! What a ‘DAYMARE’.
