That Friday, everyone was spitless, yet it felt as if we spoke all at once in fading tones. Adiza, Halimat's sister wore it differently, her eyes, blood red, her tongue, twisted. Mine was twisted too. Halimat laid right there, silent and unmoving; each gaze at her drove tears out of my eyes.
"I need to leave" I said, ramming into the silence that had consumed the room. Halimat followed suit, perhaps she couldn't bear it too. "Let's jug this out". I said facing Halimat. "Why not?" She reasoned with withering smile on her pale looking face. "After all, it's Thursday as usual".
Step into step, heavy thumps into thumps and suddenly, it stopped. "Halimat!!!" I screamed as my voice echoed on.
