2023-09-12 09:24:07"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 event. The house was still the same, nothing had changed.I saw Ezra for the first time in person, she couldn't see me though. I had only seen her in pictures. She was an average fair woman. She looked like a mother in her thirties, but she didn't seem as a woman I wanted as a mother. She seemed upset, she gave the young Ganuku the most horrible stare, I had ever seen. I was already scared of her and I didn't even know her. She seemed like a mean person and I didn't even see her speak yet."You think that you're better than my children, who said eat before they do?" She asked."I told them I was hungry, but they persisted with playing with no regard to what I was saying. That's why I made myself food." Ganuku explained."Is that the reason why your mother brought you here, to this house, she sent you to test me?!" She asked and Ganuku just looked at her with his stoic look. It was hard for even me to process the whole situation that I was witnessing.She gave Simon to Abraham and 'WHAM!' she slapped him.She slapped him hard again, "You better speak boy, when I talk to you!" In that moment I found myself wetting my pants, this woman seemed more aggressive than I gave her credits for."Why did you eat before your brothers did?! Is this your mother's house?! Did your mother send you here to finish my children's food?! " She asked again... Ganuku still remained silent. He had this passive, but calculated look, it was like he already knew that this situation couldn't get any better.She then went to the stove, she picked up the pot with hot boiling water and then she placed it on top of him. Ganuku's little legs trembled, he looked like an electric bolt just ran through him, he then started to crying."Wipe those disgusting tears, off your face! You think that you are better than my children?!" She continued to shout. "Your mother came to break my house, now she's sending her bastard to eat my children's food?!" She was straight up belligerent and that when it dawned on me, I was born into a very sick situation, this was worse more than anything I had ever seen."She told you that you were a prince of this house?! Let's see if you can wear a crown for your sins? I won't wait for God to burn you in hell, I will burn you myself, first." Ezra slapped him again and took his little hands and she made them hold the boiling pot.Ganuku was in hysterics, crying." Shut that glutton mouth of yours, if you let this pot fall, the water will burn you and transport you to your pit. You disgusting child of a hobo!" She added. She went to her bedroom, after few minutes she came back with a belt. She started beating him on his legs, while he was still trembling from the hot water that was on top of his head. Little Ganuku let the hot boiling water to fall on her. She ducked away and stared at him in disbelief."You rubbish!!! You think that you are smart, today you will learn. Hold him down boys, I need to teach him a lesson." She commented.Samson, David and Daniel charged at him. Though he tried to fight back, they had an upper hand. Samson was holding his hands and the twins were holding his legs."Pull down his pants!" She continued to order. They did, but they were shocked when they saw that he had two parts, on his bottom area. One part was a protruding weirner and another part was a girl part."Demon!" She said. "This is a demon, there's no normal person who has that!" She said taunting him and clearly being abrasive on purpose. She started whooping him. She whooped his bottom for more than 30 minutes, even when she was tired she continued to beat him with a belt.Ganuku's face became sombre, from all the wailing and crying. He had outlived his cries, he cried for his own mother, but she was nowhere to be seen."You see when you commit sin, what happens?" She asked her boys. "You created demons. Your father thought that he was smart, when he cheated on me with that whore, now look at what he has brought to this house, a demon with two legs and two parts. He has created a devil child. When you make children with sluts, you will also create such things. Let this be your lesson to not forsake the ways of the lord. Don't cheat on your wife!" She reprimanded her kids, making Ganuku feel like a spectacle.It was so horrifying to witness that whole situation. I was sure that I was never ever going to look at any of my big brothers the same way, after witnessing that. I knew from then that maybe the ghost that was haunting me had a purpose, a purpose to protecting me from real human monsters.

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: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 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

"I am becoming more of myself." I told him with a smirk. I knew it was his worst nightmare witnessing any of his boys acting suspect. He was high on sexual morals and gender roles. Like if you could not conform to his moral standards? You would have gotten disowned right then and there. (I hid the bottle Clearance was in, in a sock, as he was still distracted with my appearance.) "Since when?" He asked confused. In a movie where he thought that he was a hero, I was most definitely a villain. And if he thought that he was a villain, I was double that villain. I really wanted to piss him off."Since the day you stopped becoming my father. Yesterday we agreed on your boys going to live at aunt Rosina, now you want me go fetch my bullies and bring them back to this house and then go and live on a shed like some dog? Fine, I might as well take an identity of my late brother, Ganuku. I might as well fight for his justice and since I am someone who is made to live in his shoes." I told him.

Ganuku P.O.V :He might have thought that he had escaped my wrath, but it was far from over. The was so much I was planning. He had to learn a harsh lessons. Everyone had to pay for their wrong doings, that they had created. He was scared to death after seeing me, but I knew I had to do worse. "Why are you doing this to me Ganuku? I am sorry I did not know what to do in those moments when they hurt you. I wish I could go back and change it, but It was out of my control." He tried to explain again, wiping his eyes. After sometime when I did not respond, he opened his eyes. He did not see me anymore, although I was still there, but invisible. He sighed heavily. He covered himself in blankets, hoping that what he just witnessed was not real. I went back to Clearance's room, my heart filled with rage. I was hurt, my own father had abandoned me because he felt my reality was a nightmare to him. He addressed me in a way that I could never get used to. At least when I was alive, on my pre

Ganuku P.O.V. :I could not sleep, I was not a sleeper and I could never sleep. I yearned for my justice. Vivian had been left to rot in jail ever since I had died. She was the only person who came for my defense, stabbing that well deserving mother monster, who had happened to be a mother to her five demonic children. The hurt they had put me through? When I was still alive, it could not be subdued with a slap on the wrist, everyone had to pay for their crimes. I despised and hated each and everyone of them.The one memory that still haunted me the most was the moment when Abraham was instructed to test which of my private organs were working? He inappropriately touched me when I was only a child, on my previous body, when I was still a human being. I cried out to father during those days and fought him from touching me inappropriately. Father came rushing in our bedroom to see what was happening. When I told him that Abraham wanted to molest me. He became so rigid and he blamed me
