Ganuku P.O.V. :"You know we are going to start beating you up after we are finished eating here, right? We do not tolerate gay boys here." One boy said."After doing that poisonous thing in front of my face, what makes you think I might spare you?" I asked them and they all looked at me as if I was a crazy person."We will beat you up, even God does not like things like you?!" The other one said clicking his tongue."Which God are you referring to?" I asked."This boy is sick, you should be running before we start hitting you!" The second boy said laughing. It seemed like being bullies seemed like the most common thing that they glorified. Another act that created so much rage inside of me."If you are referring to the god of the colonists, the food you are eating will turn into termites and it will start eating you from within." I stated. It seemed like what I had said had no effects on them and they started approaching."We are referring to the one true God of the Bible." Another s

Clearance:I woke up in a idiosyncratic place. It looked weird, everything was shadowy and I heard whispers. Ganuku had apologized to me, but I knew that things were getting exacerbated, especially with father. When I heard the tumultuous noise he had with Ganuku, I nearly died from terror! My heart was filled with so much fear. I had never seen father so upset with me, I did not even think I was going to survive his wrath. My brother was not frightened though, he might have been feminine and had a liking of girly things, but fear did not recite in him. I heard voices between him and a strange lady, I was not familiar with her, I had never seen or heard of her anywhere. I was agog. "Why did you bring a living person here?! This is no place for him! You know what the Pharos will do when they find him here, right?! They will use him as their next sacrifice! Why did you risk him coming here?!" She posed questions, agitated. "Do you seriously think I had any choice in this situation?

Ganuku:I arrived safely on the surface of the river, and then I saw Sosobala on the embarkment of the river. He stood facing south, to the direction I needed to take when I walked back home. I was not scared of him, but I knew I needed to be careful with him. "What are you?" He questioned. "I saw you enter this river few hours ago and you stayed down there for a very long time." He inquired begrudgingly. "I'm the soul of your nephew. Remember Ganuku? That's me." I answered him, honestly. "I am no longer a human anymore, I am a spirit that serves a snake of New Rockville. Do not patronize me with that human title and the body you possess… That's your younger brother's body, what did you do to him?" He urged, facing me. His huge form blocked my pathway. I felt trapped. Whatever I did, he could eventually find me even if I ran, he knew exactly where my family lived. It felt hopeless lying to him. "He is right here." I showed him the ball that I was carrying. "You're introducing hi

Clearance :It was a cold winter day in 2006, when I was sitting in the dining room with my older brothers. We were surrounding a small heater and we were also listening to the radio. A journalist was talking about a tragic story that happened in Rockville park: A place around where we lived. 'A body of a young woman was found on the lake, sources say that she was attacked by an unknown suspect at 12:00am... Cops were called, but the suspect vanished on thin air. When the cops arrived and flooded the scene he was no were to be found and no witness saw what he looked like...' The reporter said. "I heard these news, everyone in school was talking about it." Samson said. "Everyone says it was a ritual." He finished. He was the guy who always knew stories of Rockville. (Samson was the second born in our family and he was 16. Scorpio born on the 17th of November.) "You always have these theories, does your lies ever end?" Abraham scolded. (Abraham was the oldest amongst all my brothers.
New Rockville Chapter: 2
Clearance:Ever since I experienced that birthday surprise from father, things had changed. My brothers were giving me these weird looks all the time. Maybe it was jealousy or something else... The ghost of my true identity was still haunting me. I didn't know what make of it, maybe there was something I was missing? I knew that from the time I was a kid life was different for me. I felt so much void and not enough support. Growing up in house that had boys, only, it was weird. I didn't know my mother. I saw my neighbors having female figures, but mine was missing and no one even dared to explain to me why? Well...except for Simon, who kinder spilled that I was a bastard. I didn't understand why or how? But I was determined to figure it out, one way or another. Even if I was, why didn't I know anything about her? No one gave me a direct meaning of what it all meant, even our father did not speak the words that I could understand. I wanted to ask but my relationship with our father
New Rockville Chapter: 3
Clearance:It was the following morning and we were walking on the on dirty gravel road, after crossing the big Koma street. It was the biggest street we had ever crossed. At least Abraham was responsible enough to make sure that we all crossed it to safety. We were wearing caps, sandals, shorts and short sleeved t-shirts. Abraham had bought it for us. He was that kind of brother. It was weird, because he wasn't even working. I didn't know how he made money. As we were walking through the Elcha road that separated Elcha stadium from the big Rockville houses, I was haunted by the previous day's events. I was following behind my big brothers, but Simon was walking beside me. He looked weird as he stared at me, ever so often. He wasn't saying anything, but I felt like more horse shit was brewing in that evil mind of his. He had a way of surprising me with so much of it, although it was all unpleasant. Samson was narrating stories about the conspiracy theories of Rockville. "You guys
New Rockville Chapter: 4
Clearance:When Abraham came out of father's room with whip marking, I instantly new that our father was a dangerous person. He had no remorse for foolishness, but I mostly felt sorry for Abraham he didn't deserve that whooping. I wanted to understand though why he'd lie for Simon? I didn't ask him though because I was so afraid that he wasn't gonna look at me the same anymore. He wasn't gonna protect me like he always did. Abraham was the only person I could rely on to make everything better. He was considerate, kind and empathetic. He had no animosity against me, like my other brothers. Him picking me up to protect me from that mermaid when it tried to attack us, proved to me that he actually did care about me. Maybe that was just part of who he was, he was always protective over us and he would take the beating to protect anyone, even a Simon for that matter. "This is your fault, if you didn't become so persistent in ruining our lives, non of this would have happened." Simon whis
New Rockville Chapter: 5
"You want me to take you through my memory lane of my turmoil?" Ganuku asked.I nodded my head. I still couldn't believe I was seeing a ghost with my naked eyes. It was dark, but I couldn't bring myself to speak. I was still in shock because he was a ghost to me. He held my head and I found myself drifting off to a deep slumber. I thought that I was dying. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. I had never slept instantly, in any situation. It was kinder weird that he was able to have such control over me. It's like he had supernatural powers. "I will take you to an event, where I was still alive, before you were conceived to this world. An even that transformed my life forever." He said and I was transported to a place when he looked younger that this time, he was probably 6 years old; Simon was still a baby on his mother's arms; Samson and Abraham looked 12 and nine; and the twins were around 4 or 5 years old. It looked strange traveling through time to witness this eve
