Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 49

I felt triggered by what i saw.

What had turned mama into a

walking skeleton..I pondered as i perched on the bedside table while

mama lowered her bulk on the bed.

“mama whats happening?” i found

myself asking,i couldnt stop the

words from flowing out.

She sighed “what do you mean by what is happening?” she asked in

“how much is the total amount of the eggs?” i asked,fishing into my

back trouser pocket for my wallet.

“two thousand naira,i just bought it

from that woman’s stall”she

pointed.

I smiled and swallowed,two thousand naire gone gone go!!

She thanked me and zoomed off while i continued walking.
