CHAPTER ONE
THE CHILD
Their lived a girl named Amanda, who was the only child to Mr. & Mrs. Obi. At the age of 5, she lost
her father to a sickness called Pneumonia and as the only child, she was left to lean on only her
mother’s shoulders. One afternoon, she heard a knock on the door and it was a man in black,
immediately I saw him I knew he was a devil in my dreams because it was my meanest uncle,
uncle mark. Uncle mark was a nice man but only in front of my mom but when she has gone of to
work, he would always beat me or hit me for no reason. I told mom about it but she would always
say I must have been misbehaving and he was our only hope of surviving
One evening, I heard mom screaming out in pain , I got up and ran to her room but I was too late
all I saw was my mom in a pool of her blood all I could do was sit down and cry so I cried and cried
until it was dawn.
At 8;00 in the morning I heard a knock on the door I opened and I saw all my mothers relatives
including uncle mark and they were all in black, sobbing and even crying. After everybody were
done crying. They had to make a decision on who was going to take care of me but not even a
single soul raised up their hand to even try so uncle mark decided to take me to an orphanage
called Love Home Orhanage
