THE STRANGE AUNTIE JENNIFER 1 (story series)

It was over a month that she came into our compound.

Auntie Jennifer as I use to call her, was an egoistic being; more of a narcissist. She have never been spotted with a male friend. Never have her brother nor father visited her.

Barely do Auntie Jennifer comes home with or been visited by a female friend, but whenever she comes with one, every man both married and bachelors will daydream while some will turn a wanker which the bathroom and soap will be the one to suffer.

She was awarded with the accolade 'The Snub,' because everyone who tried talking unnecessarily got shunned and snubbed, so I had to Auntie-zone her and make others jealous.

One Sunday morning, she was about getting set to do some laundry work, with her clothes and other dirties outside ready to be washed.

Everyone has gone to church some inside sleeping or doing one thing or the other.

I walked up to where she kept her empty gallon, grabbed it and said "Auntie Jennifer, give me money I want to go and fetch water maybe I'll help fetch yours equally."

She casted a strange and cold gaze at me that I almost melt into wax. Luckily as I planned, my 'Chi' was strong for her to resist the offer so she gave in and handed over a N50 note.

There we became close: running errands for her, helping her on some various house chores etc.

Others wished to be me, and I'm proud to be me.

"Abuchi" Mom called one day and ushered me into her room. When I came in honor of her call, she asked; "Who do you say that lady is to you?"

"She's my new Auntie"

"Where's she from? "

" I don't know yet mom"

"And you are so close to her like this eh Abuchi? "

Mom and her religious lifestyle of a Joseph. She started narrating to me, her strange and scary nightmares of hers she do have about me: how she took me to a strange river. How she took a blood oath with me. How she made me her sexual satisfier, this and that.

"But mom, I'm only helping Auntie Jennifer. We all know she's a Banker, so she's always fixed up. No strings attached"

"I've told you what I have to as a mother. A stubborn fly goes to the grave with the casket. You can now go, but always be careful"

"God forbid" I uttered within. I thanked her and goes off to meet my friends who were waiting for me outside...
