Something Different In.

Chapter 1

Awake yet asleep_so terrifying. That very thing ,that experience she keeps having. Sometimes it occurs regularly and then other times it comes once in a while. It has been really so long a time since she last experienced it but tonight...abi this morning__it was already past six_thirty. Anyhow shaa. Today was amongst those numerous unlucky nights when she fights death or whatsoever be it that always tries taking her away even when she is fully aware of everything going on around her. Recently it no longer terrifies her as much as it did when she newly began experiencing it. Now she surely knows that it won't kill her but even if it tries doing anything funny to her life, God won't permit it.
She struggled, struggled and struggled until she won as she knew she was gonna win no matter how long it took her. Getting up from the bed, she walks towards the restroom. She just keeps forgetting that this this Nigeria her wonderfully underdeveloped country where light can't ever stay one full day without going off. The fact that she slept with lights on had made her momentarily forget herself. If not why on earth would she not keep her torch light where she could easily locate it?
While going into the restroom she stepped on something and jumped before she realized that it was only her clothes which she had kicked off during the night when the hotness of the weather became so unbearable.
"You're so stupid girl" she said to herself. Done with urinating but too lazy to get up from the toilet where she sat comfortably and continuously hitting herself on the head, she never realized her sister was watching her all along. "Just what on earth is the problem with you...?" She asked rhetorically before her sister interrupted her thoughts.
"Ziora and what the fuck is the matter with you sis" Did she know ? No she definitely wasn't aware that her has been watching her hit her head while muttering some inaudible things.  "For the past ...or should I say for what seems to me like an internity now you've been sitting there on the toilet doing practically nothing except hit your head."
    " Mtcheeew", she hissed.
She got up put on her pants  and flushed the toilet.
   "And why do you sigh?" Her sister asked. She knew her sister was just looking for who would exchange words with her so she chose to shut her mouth. But her sister wasn't ready to stop and so she went on . "Ziora why were you hitting your head over and over again ?" Tell me. Still no answer. "

"Eew! Eew! ... Ziora what in God's name did you do to the toilet..!  Ziora eew ....eew ...! Please go spray the air freshener before I die here . Please go ...eew! "
   "Gross gross gross! Michal I did nothing in there except urinate and you know it. You're just looking for my trouble this morning. Well I guess it's your teeth that you didn't brush last night and God knows maybe your body too. After all you didn't take your bath last night. But I did brush my teeth and I also bath while you were busy chatting with that ... Only handsome in your eyes of a guy that you said is your boyfriend.
   Sitting on the bed close to her sister, she holds her on both shoulders. .. "Just so you know, whatever you're smelling I definitely oozing from you I'm so sure of that. She stood up again and went for her school bag. "Ziora", Michal called. She turned and looked at her sister's sober face. She felt bad a little but forced herself not to care because her sister deserved it all. " Yes darling, she answered. What's the matter." She could be a great drama queen when she wants to.
"You just got me annoyed but I will wait till we return from school and that's cuz I don't want any cane on me this morning for late coming. So save it inside you , we have to finish this talk later.  Michal said. She got up and went inside the bathroom to take her bath.
