Into The Shadow - E. O. Twain
GLOSSARY
PREFACE
Not long ago, while entering the University’s main library my eyes caught a caption on one of the books at the publication shelf with the inscription literature – A gateway to a fulfilled human existence
. I sought after this gateway and well, this is the outcome.
I am wishing you, the reader, lots of excitement and deep refreshment as you pore over this novel.
Meanwhile in the novel...
... "Maybe we were meant for each other, So Life isn’t a battle to be fought or a Contest to be won but rather a pack of shadows and challenges which gives us only two choices- To either Live through them or let them live through us.
DEDICATION
Special thanks to:
My mother, who someday would tell her story.
To Publiseer, for making this dream a reality.
And To all who contributed to my race, I remain forever indebted.
Love to you all.
Part I
In the beginning
July 2002
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing by the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
- Sir Isaac Newton.
CHAPTER ONE
♪♪ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you... How old are you now? How old are you now? How old are you now? How old are you now? ... "I am plus one today, I am plus one today, I am plus one today, I am plus one today♪♪ Favour replied as everyone who had trooped into their one bedroom flat at No. 42 Mission Road to celebrate his birthday cheered on. July 8 th was always the best of days for him and today wasn’t different either. He was celebrating his ninth year birthday and friends and well wishers about their neighbourhood had filled their tiny apartment which normally housed just his happy Family.
Mr. Godwin Samuel, Favour’s dad, a civil servant in his late 40’s, a no-nonsense man, he wasn’t well to do but always saw the needs of his family as ultimate, Mrs. Mercy Samuel, a community health worker and Mr. Samuel’s amiable wife, the one who had made sure to raise her children in the way of the lord
was vibrant as expected making sure everyone felt at home, Elder sisters Blessing and Margaret had taken care of the distribution of food and drinks, Elder brother John, Favour’s partner in crime was on a one week leave from school, right in time for the birthday, Joy, the last baby of the house, who had made the sweets containers dad bought for the birthday her playground, and every other person present were in celebration mood as He blew out the candles marking his ninth birthday. He was yet to write the primary six (6) placement examination which was normal for every government primary school at the time. His birthday this year, had coincidentally clashed with his graduation which meant double celebration , His mum and dad had collaborated to provide the birthday cake, Elder sister Margaret whom He was always at loggerheads had prepared the rice and had dished a mount Everest ish
quantity and served herself privately a typical of herself
he shrugged.
Little children had trooped in from far and near, those he knew and those he hadn’t come across before were all present. Walking about like the biblical King who hosted a party and saw a man not dressed properly, he willed for the power to send them off just as the king did. Amidst the children play and run around going on. He spotted her, right there at a corner seated with so much composure was a long-haired typical brunette, dressed in a blue gown that gave her an impressing look, she had a small pink lip, she looked quite older than him, but age is just a number
he thought as he approached her with the elegance of an Eagle Hi, I am Favour, I’m the celebrant hope you don’t mind telling me your name
He had said, picking his words carefully she kept quiet, smacked a little and just kept staring at him as if He was an over-dressed monster. Stupefied by her beauty, kept staring at her not knowing if she had answered him or not until He was reinstated to
