My head bumped on the hard surface of the concrete road. I blinked my eyes when tears threatened to fall from my eyes when I started feeling pain and blood on the left side of my forehead. My cries got harder when I felt a huge weight on my foot—someone was stamping my foot. I turned to the man still sitting on the floor, unable to get up. I pleaded with him with teary eyes to leave me, but he looked at me like I was his favorite food. He licked his lips and took forward steps towards me, which made me move backwards while still sitting. It was dark all around me as I was caught to him in a dark alley.
It’s been a week since I shifted to London. And now, when returning from work, I was caught by a rapist. “Please leave me, sir. I beg you” was all I kept repeating while crying. “You know, girl? I was waiting for this moment for the past 4 days.” he said. I was scared even more by his words. I wanted to push him and run off, but the darkness and my fear made it worse. In spite of that, I took a deep breath and tried to run away, but as soon as I stood up, he dragged me by my hair. He slapped me hard, and that made me fall to the floor again. He started taking steps towards me, but we heard foot steps. My eyes were lit with a little hope of escaping. He rushed towards me and closed my mouth tightly with his hands to prevent me from shouting. I struggled hard in his embrace. I wanted to cry for help, but the footsteps slowly faded, and a creepy smile grew on his face. The next second, I was pinned to the ground, and he was above me, holding my hands. I cried hard, pleading with God to take away my soul from my body.Just then, everything stopped around me; even the man next to me stopped moving. My eyes grew wider in shock. Did God hear my prayers and take my soul from my body? I pushed the man away from me; he fell aside like a statue.
“Hey Naira,” I heard the deep voice of a man and could find no one around me.
“Who are you, and where are you hiding?” i asked. I heard a deep laugh and
I AM……?
