THE SPIRIT*
EPISODE [5]

The sharp cry shook the entire lodge,
frightening me tremendously. My heart
furiously pounded.
The day of reckoning finally has arrived. I waited for few minutes in my room as i
tried so hard to
compose myself. Just like other students,
i had to check out the cause of the cry
and noise coming from downstairs. I
wished i had traveled, but truly it was very
bright of me to stay put in the lodge
instead of traveling, because i had to be
around in order to follow events and
plan ahead. Moreover the hostel was a
large one but it never stopped students who lived in it from knowing each
other’s habit and as i hardly traveled.
Who knows i could
be suspected.
Yes i was so scared that i felt every step i
took could lead anyone to suspect me even though i was far
from being one of the hostel terrors nor
cultists who could
easily be suspected as the hand behind
such a deadly act.
I drank a glass of water before heading out of my room. I
slowly headed downstairs, towards
where I dumped Nneka’s body days ago.
You can’t imagine how
nervous and scared i was as i slowly
made my way to that place.
Hundreds of students were already at the
staircase when I got there. Students from
the neighboring
hostels alike.
I greeted some of my neighbors who told me of the terrific
discovery. I pretended to be shocked and
forced my way to
the front of the crowd.
After a little struggle, i succeeded in
getting close to Nneka’s body which was already pulled out
from the staircase. The poor girl was now
lying just some steps
away from where she was originally
dumped, looking pale
as ever. I drew a bit close as if i was very concerned.
“do you know her?” a girl quickly asked
me. I turned to see almost everyone
staring curiously at staring curiously at me. I
swallowed hard with tension. My guilty
conscience shook me like an earthquake.
“what?” i stammered.
“do you know her?” the hostel president
asked, before the
girl could repeat her question.
“hell no. That’s exactly what i came to check” i managed
to reply, dashing all their hopes.
“nobody knows her. She has no I.d or
anything” the girl who asked the first
question explained, while i
shrugged, saying nothing. The relief i felt as i heard the shrugged, saying nothing. The relief i felt as i heard the girl’s
explanation was quite enormous. I really
had feared the question was
asked with suspicion.
However i still feared the worst was yet
to come. I knew there must surely be a scapegoat. A sacrificial
lamb who will be blamed for such a
horrible crime.
Who will it be??_____
