CHAPTER 2
...But i was also disturbed by Michael's confession:Daddy having an affair?With who? Why?Was mummy aware?.......
Pauline, i heard you mention jemima's mum despondently.
Is she sick or something?......
Yes, is it true your daddy is dating her?
Dating who?
That whore i mean.
CHAPTER 3:
I got to school just in time for the first lecture which was "philosophy". The topic for the day was EUTHANASIA.Euthanasia we were told "is the act or practice of killing painlessly, especially to relieve incurable suffering". Opinion on this according to the lecturer is diverse. In the class that day, majority of us agreed that there was the need for one to be sensitive to people's feelings. In essence, if one was terminally ill, and it was believed that mercy killing would help out, why not?
There was a distraction for me throughout the lecture though. It was from no other person than the cool guy i saw on the initiation ground.
CHAPTER 4:
That morning, i was not myself.I soliloquised throughout. I kept on asking questions. Teenage pregnancy! So rampant. And the boys responsible are also teenagers........As young as they are, they prefer joints where they are introduced to cigarette, marijuana, cannabis, hard drugs, prostitution, cult, heavy drinking; to church. Where morals are preached.
.........On kareen's lap was mitchell.
They were both naked. I saw them kissing, caressing and smooching. They groaned in pleasure.
......Yea, you were surprised seeing the two of us kissing.
Yes!
But that is the in-thing.
In thing?
Yes. Hardly will you see any happening babe on campus that is not into it.
Into what?i asked again
Lesbianism.
Lesbi what?

About the Book
The spirit world is annoyed with Pauline; a young,
beautiful jewel. Her grangmother, a coven member is in
the best position to unleash terror from within. The
punishment is for Pauline to be single for life. If
she is lucky to be married, except she goes back to
the coven and beg for a child, she is to remain
barren.
To accomplish this, she was bethrothed to a spirit
husband that regularly make love to her in her sleep.
In the physical world, different men come into her
life; but leave prematurely. She could not cope with
the rejections and miscarriages. She became suicidal.
Puzzled, she prayed God for a heavenly sent husband;
even though she was in an adulterous relationship with
Rasak, a divorcee, and a business guru. God asked her
to stop seeing Rasak. In annoyance, she asked God to
hold His Heavens. And she stopped praying. After a
while, she repented of her sins. Her grandmother died
suddenly. And she met Kelvin, a bachelor, and a
believer. They got married, but had no child for
years.
Did they survive the ridicule, the temptation of
bowing to the devil? Did they lose hope? Did they lose
Faith? Did they forsake God?
