The bus was almost full, Danny couldn't wait much longer to go home and set his eyes on his lovely mother, feel her warmth embrace and eat her sumptuous meal ones again.

He was the only surviving son of her mom, his dad had died immediately after he was born. Though Danny usually stop to think about how his other siblings had died mysteriously,he was still happy he was lucky to be alive.

As the only surviving child, he doesn't joke with his mother. She was the only thing he had in the world and as such she meant the world to him.

He was a student of the Federal University of Technology Owerri . He had chosen the school because it was close to home and so could go home almost every weekend to help his lovely mom. And today was one if those weekends.

"Welcome my dear son". That was Danny's mom hugging and welcoming him home. She immediately brought out the food she had prepared for him. Egusi soup, his favourite. After eating as much as his stomach could carry, his mom told him he had to do something for her.
To Danny, that was not even work compared to other things he normally comes back to help her with. She had wanted him to come cut down one of the palm fruits that was ripe in one of his father's palm plantation. He had quickly agreed, anything that would make her happy, that was all he was in to do for her.

He couldn't believe it. How can that be possible? His own mother. What a wicked world? As he was thinking and packing at the same time, he was startled when his mom came in dripping blood all over. So it was really true? It finally dawned on him. He couldn't wait to pack and go back to school. He couldn't wait to leave and never set his eyes again on this Jezebel.
This was the same mother he was willing to kill himself for, that was actually trying to kill him literally.

This is actually what happened;
The afternoon Danny was to help cut the palm fruit, he quickly went to the bush to check his trap. Actually, he hunts sometimes for the fun of it. As he was coming back,he saw one of the old men in his village. He stopped, greeted the man as politely as he could. As he turned to walk, the man begged him for one of the grass cutters his trap had cut. He had given him and offered him the other one cos actually he cut two. The man was shocked and was touched by his kind gesture. Because of this act of kindness, he said he had to return the favour. He called him and said "I wonder why your mother would want to waste the life of a kind heart like you". Danny didn't understand and had to ask him what he really meant by that. The old man further said "Actually your mom wants to kill you to live". Of course he didn't believe it. But later, he's attention was gotten when the man told him that his mother had told him to help her cut a palmfruit that afternoon for her. That actually, that was the medium she was planning to kill him. So shocking. How did he know all this? He did cos he was the leader of the occult kingdom Danny's mom was a member.

The old man had told him all this because of his kind heart. He further added that he would tell him in details what will happen immediately he climbs to the middle of the palm tree and that exactly happened.

As Danny and his mom got to where he was to climb the palm tree, he's mom had excused herself saying she wanted to go to the nearest bush and ease herself. Immediately Danny had climbed to the middle of the palm tree, exactly what the old man had told him started happening. A great wind started blowing from a corner of the nearby bush, towards the palm tree Danny was on. The wind was so mighty and mysterious that he almost lost balance and forgot what the old man had told him to do. But God forbid. Suddenly, he remembered. He started cutting through the wind swiftly, with all his might and as long as his strength could carry him holding on tight to the palm tree. After much cutting,the mysterious wind ceased. He quickly came down and ran home to pack.

Inside the bus home, he could still see the disappointment on his moms face when he called her a witch and told her to forget everything about him. She was stalked and couldn't even look at him talk more of trying to hold him back.

His own mother has planned to use him as a bait to renew her life in the occult world. The wind was his mom. Remember she was dripping blood when she came back home. That was as a result of the cutting. She had planned on blowing him down from the tree.

No wonder his siblings died the way they all did. And now it was that time of the year again when it was now her turn ones more to bring a loved one or else die. Thank God for that old man who had helped save his life.

Even if it was in a dream, he wouldn't believe the woman he had called mom would think of this talk more of doing the act. He had done nothing but love this woman. How on earth did she even get the idea of joining a secret cult? Though the old man had told him she did it to have a longer life span, he still couldn't stop asking.
