What If
Linda and Cynthia were best friends. They lived in the same
compound and attend the same school. They both loved each
other and because of that, Rose their English teacher nicknamed
them “Two love birds”.
One day as the school dismissed, Linda hurriedly packed her
things and when Cynthia so her, she did same too thinking it
was a game. After Linda has finished packing her things, she
took Cynthia by the hand and they both walked out of the school
compound.
“There is this beautiful garden I discovered recently, its flowers
glitters and its smells so magnificent; I would like us to go there
and play, Linda whispered into Cynthia’s ear”.
“No I won’t go” I heard it was owned by the Late Charles Jack and
his spirit hunts anyone that dares enter the garden. Apart from
that I have also heard a lot of bad things concerning that garden,
Cynthia said in fear.
“All that are mere stories” come let’s go and take a look Linda
pleaded.
“No” she shouted. Cynthia advised her to forget about the garden
but she insisted on going. She then left hold of Cynthia’s hand
and ran off. Cynthia tried calling her but she never listened.
When she got to the garden, she saw a beautiful flower shining
like a diamond; she quickly went and plucked it and smelled itl.
“Wow this smells so good” she exclaimed. She was still admiring
the flower when her breathing started to seize. She fined it hard
to breathe again, she then fell on the ground and just
immediately the flower she plucked turned into a giant troll and
killed her. The giant troll took her body and laid it on the road
side. Every passerby saw Linda’s dead body lying helplessly on
the road. When the news got to Cynthia, she wept so bitterly.
“Oh “What If” I had followed Linda to that garden; I could have
been dead by now, Cynthia exclaimed.
