THE LIVING DEAD (PART 7)

The school SUG president soon showed up with

the school authorities and the police, quickly

dispersing everyone.

"you can now go on with your various activities,

we are here to take charge of the situation. Be

rest assured that the person behind this

outrageous crime will be caught. If you have any

information to share please don't hesitate to

bring it to our knowledge. Mind how you talk to

the press or better still leave us to do the

talking. You are warned" the Dean of students

addressed us before we were dispersed.

I returned to my room extremely scared and

afraid. I couldn't imagine what the outcome of

their investigation will be.

I didn't leave my room all through the rest of

that day. I simply stayed indoors with my

conscience punishing me. I was ready to do

anything for my fears to go away.

Nmeka's body was taken away later in the

afternoon. I couldn't help but peep through my

window as an ambulance carried the poor thing

away. Yes the time was precisely 3:15pm. I

really couldn't imagine what caused the delay in

moving a body discovered very early in the

morning.

However some minutes after her body was taken

away. A strange kind of dizziness took over my

entire body. It was as if my room was spinning

round with me in the center. I lost balance and

collasped on my bed, breathing heavily while

sweat drenched my body.

I couldn't believe nor understand what was

happening. I never experienced such a thing

before, but luckily i regained myself some

minutes after.

I tried hard to think what could have happened,

but just couldn't figure out anything. Not only

was my eyes now seeing things that never was,

the rest of my body has equally joined in the

game.

Could Nmeka's spirit be behind this?" i wondered

Miserably.

"but i didn't kill nobody. It was just an accident.

I did what i had to do to save face" i kind of

spoke aloud before realising myself.

A sharp knock of my door, quickly notified me of

a visitor waiting outside.

"was i heard?. Is it the police?" i nervously

asked myself as i slugglishly went to my door.
