Thorny Lake 8 (Resistance)

There was a narrow path that linked the lake to his house.

We were on it, headwind home.

 I’ve to think of a plan to save myself and save the boy; my boy!

My thoughts were loud, Houghton did hear them. 

"What do you plan?"

 He asked again and again.

I was lost in thoughts.

 He pushed me and then I stumbled on a rock by the path's side.

 With wet eyes, i yelled.

"I cease to be a Thorny Lake! I will not keep being drained, I’ve to navigate myself to a River or Stream through which I would be fed!"

"What are you screaming about? "

"We need to get my son back and you are here saying nonsense? "

"It’s sense…I held his hands; I’ll get your son, my David back, you have my word!"

  We were still on our way home when we saw from a lil distance some men reversing with their vehicles to leave his home premises.

 We turned left and saw heavy smoke rising to the skies.

" Kola what’s burning?"

We looked at ourselves and at same time hurried for the house. 

We met the house on fire, we hurried to get water to put the fire off.

Houghton turned on the tap, I sighted a hose. The fire went down after so much effort.

 We sat on the ground thoughtless.

What is wrong with my life? How did these ancestral spirits follow me here, so they are able to cross valleys, oceans and countries too? 

Why do everything i do end in disaster?

We were checking for properties that were unharmed by the fire and the few ones the fire didn’t get too. 

 Something fell while I was sorting.

 It was a pamphlet, titled ‘Living Waters’ Isaiah 55:1 "Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come; buy wine and milk without money and without cost price"

 John 7: 38 "He who believes in me as the scripture has said, ‘out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water". 

"How did you get this?"

"Oh! my Ex-wife was a Christian.Don’t believe that crab, the bible enslaves, it makes people live bitter lives" 

"Why did you say that?"

"My wife! She was a devoted Christian, he said that in quotes. She was always in church. She is always on a fast, she wouldn’t permit me to touch her, and we hardly met as couple"

After a brief silence he continued,

David came after 13 months of our marriage, she had no time for me or our son, I tolerated a lot of misbehaviors because I loved her.

 Not until my son had issues one night, I was worried so I ran to my pastor.

 I went straight for his office, on getting there I met my pastor on my wife; he was inside her.

The vigil turned out to be a love affair between the 'man of God' and his 'devotee'; my wife. 

Kola, Christianity is FAKE, fake fake fake!
