TWO


I have always wanted to try my hand at writing. Well my friend found
the perfect opportunity on www.thenakedconvos.com. Its a story told in
reverse with some parts already written and interested parties are
required to complete it in less than 1200 words in time sequence of
twos. Like in 2 days,2 weeks,2 months, 2 years or 2 decades if you are
creative enough. I'm obviously an interested party and have written
mine. You can read and leave comments and also satisfy your curiousity

NOW:Aigbe smiled callously as he watched Esosa tumble backwards onto the floor. He thought to himself that she quite looked like a fish out of water_ flailing about,reaching for support that would not be forthcoming. His smile very quickly evolved into a cruel laugh as he watched the back of her head crash onto the cold,tiled floor with a sickening,wet sound. Leaping astride her semi-conscious body,he rained three solid blows onto her torso,working his way from her lower ribcage to her sternum. She yelped,shook and choked with each blow,unable to fight back.   "You are the one that will die,not me,stupid harlot!"  He spat into her face as the last blow landed and she choked violently,jerking with the impact of the blow and recoiling from the glob of projectile spittle that had hit her face.  "You! Are! A! Mad! Dirty! Prostitute!"  Each word was punctuated by a slap that sent waves of pain coursing through Esosa's head. She could barely speak,or shout,or scream,much more move. She felt herself start to slip into a numb blackness but she tried to hold on. Aigbe wrapped his hands around her neck and muttered.   "Witch! Harlot! Your plan has failed!"  Esosa closed her eyes and let the numbing darkness take her as her husband choked the remaining life from her,his wedding ring pressing against her carotid artery.


TWO HOURS EARLIER:Esosa smiled to herself as she poured the brown powder into the bottle of merlot. She re-corked it and shook it violently until the powder began to dissolve. She knew Aigbe was already on his way home.


TWO DAYS EARLIER:She stared at her twin. They were so identical it was uncanny that it extended to the way they laughed. Although right now there was not any laughter to be heard. Esosa was in a quandary. Her husband was no longer the man she had married. They argued non-stop and were barely civil to each other. To compound issues,some mysterious man was sending her love messages. However, her only concern at the moment was her husband. She had asked Ese for help and had been told about a love potion that would bring Aigbe running back to her. Ese had sworn that the potion had brought her own man back to her. She was tempted to try it.


TWO WEEKS EARLIER:Aigbe could not wait to get home to her. He drove quickly and almost recklessly. He laughed,here he was behaving like a newly-wed when he had two solid years of marriage on his tab. He got home and ran to the bedroom. She was on the bed,waiting. He walked straight into her arms.He had to make every minute count because their time together was short. His wife would soon be back from her business trip.  Their weeks of intense loving would soon be over. He was disappointed that he would no longer have her to himself,but he was giddy with excitement,anticipating the usual thrill of sneaking around with his wife's sister. He certainly had the best of both worlds,a beautiful wife and a sexy lover. Or he could choose one,he thought gloomily.



TWO MONTHS EARLIER:She was beautiful,there was no denying that fact. Aigbe wondered if her beauty was enough to convince him to do as she had asked. Could he leave his wife of two years for her. He searched his heart,his mind. The idea skirted around his head,tempting. The possibilities of what could be leaving large prints on his mind.Ese watched Aigbe struggle with indecision. She saw that her seed had taken root. He was sorely tempted by her idea. Aigbe had always been confused. She smiled inwardly,it was like fishing,she would drop the bait and he would greedily swallow it. Then she would reel him in and gut him. She knew Aigbe's marriage was in trouble,and had been for a while. Aigbe was fool enough to leave his wife for her. She was confident that he would choose her. All that remained was to find a way to get Esosa to poison Aigbe. That was an easy task,knowing how gullible her sister could be. She almost laughed out in glee,imagining the horror Aigbe would feel as he lay dying,poisoned by his wife. She wanted his death to be both physically and emotionally painful. She had to make him believe that Esosa was cheating and that she,Ese loved him. That Esosa had also poisoned him. By the time he realised he had been deceived,it would be too late and he would have lost everything. She would have exerted her revenge on him.



TWO YEARS EARLIER:Ese watched as her sister exchanged marital vows with Aigbe. A man she Ese had dated for five years. She still could not wrap her mind around the fact that he had dumped her for her sister barely 24 hours after meeting Esosa. She was mad at Esosa but her rational mind reasoned that Esosa was innocent,for she had not known that Ese and Aigbe had been lovers. She had been more than happy to date Ese's handsome "colleague". Ese blamed herself for not having told Esosa of her true relationship with Aigbe and now it was too late. As sure as the sky was blue,Aigbe would pay dearly for shattering her heart.
