Tunde and Tosan had been married for two years and lived in their Ibadan home. They had the typical look of the young and happy couple, everything was perfect. Tunde was a top manager in the Lagos firm where he worked and Tosan owned a clothes store somewhere close to the University of Ibadan. Tunde had to go to Lagos on Mondays and return on Fridays because of his job, and it was during one of such work trips that something that was already wrong went even more wrong.

The Fireplace

Wonder,

One little boy sat and watched this live light every night

Light that could move, it didn't just moved, it leaped and danced!

How could something so obviously alive be dead?

He could not help but wonder.
