Strange Easter
A loud thump echoed throughout the quiet household. A small tabby cat twitches its ear as it shifts its position on a small couch. The tabby opened one green eye to scan the room. The tabby’s eye stopped on a big white fur ball in the corner of the room. The tabby’s nose twitched as it slowly opened its other eye. The fur ball twitched as it slowly twisted its body sideways to turn around. The tabby shivered as the hairs on its back began to slowly climb as its tail flicked dangerously. The fur ball twisted sideways to reveal two large snow white bunny ears. The tabby blinked once before jumping up from its loafed position. The tabby arched it back as the remaining hair on the tabby’s spine shot up, its green eyes dilating to small dangerous slits as it bared its white sharp teeth. The bunny sniffed as it looked at the tabby cat, its eyes scanning it. The bunny huffed as it hopped forward towards the kitchen. The tabby let out a low hiss as its eyes tracked the bunny. The tabby slowly crossed the couch, its eyes not leaving the bunny as it slowly hopped down to land with a soft thud on the hardwood floor. The bunny glanced sideways to look at the tabby before beginning to hop back towards the kitchen. “Oi bunny tail what are you doing here?” The tabby hissed through clenched teeth as it slowly began to pad after the bunny. The bunny shook its tail as it continued hopping. The bunny slowly turned the corner into the kitchen. The tabby hesitated as the bunnies' tail disappeared behind the corner. The tabby grumbled as it slowly peaked its head around the corner. Around the corner in the middle of the kitchen was a large basket. The bunny was leaning on the basket on two feet, its snow white tail wagging back and forth. The tabby linked once before shifting its body weight downward towards the hard wood floor to stalk towards the bunny. The bunny’s ears twitched as it moved its paws inside the basket searching for something. “Excuse me little kitty, can you not try and kill me? I have important work to do.” The tabby felt its jaw go slack as it paused in its stalking. The tabby shook its head after a few moments before warily lifting its body weight up, it made its way towards the bunny. The tabby sat down near the basket but not too close, keeping its eyes on the bunny. The tabby sighed before bringing its striped tail to lay over its front paws. The bunny slowly laid its front paws on the hard floor with a small carrot in its mouth. The tabby cocked its head slightly to the side and blinked at the bunny in confusion. “Why do you have a carrot bunny tail?” The bunny turned its head towards the tabby making direct eye contact. “I’s fer me jib.” (It's for my job) The bunny answered, though it was muffled by the carrot. Without another word the bunny broke eye contact and thumped its foot twice on the floor. The tabby hissed as a small light enclosed the whole kitchen. The light faded in a matter of seconds, the tabby blinked a couple times to regain its night vision. The tabby’s vision slowly came back and when it looked for the bunny it was gone and so was the basket. The tabby jumped to its feet and clumsily sprinted into the living room. The tabby’s eyes scanned the whole living room for the bunny but there was none. The tabby jumped up onto a side table to get a better look but its paw hit something. The tabby looked down to see a pink glittery egg. The tabby sighed as it lifted its head once more to scan the area only for its eyes to quickly leap around the room to see more eggs. “What in the world?!” The tabby meowed as it laid down on the side table pushing the pink egg off the table with a satisfying crack. The tabby laid its head down on its paw placing its striped tail over its nose. “Damn bunny…” The tabby grumbled as it drifted back onto sleep.

WATER FOR PAIN II
Moments later, heavy clouds started gathering above and in minutes it started drizzling. Eze watched as people scampered for shelter to avoid the rain. He joined the race and soon found a spot next to a fish seller under an anvil provided by a locked chemist shop. The woman mumbled greetings and Eze answered almost unconsciously. The rain poured heavily. To him, it was as if each cloud held storex tanks with broken taps left opened. On arriving home, he was greeted by a quit notice nicely folded and pinned to his door by his landlord who he owes a year rent. But the pangs of hunger in his stomach left no room for concern. What mattered at the moment was solving his immediate need. "Not this time, please", he said to himself. "I'll think about it when I've eaten". Eze went in and quickly peeled off his clothes with damp patches in several places. He searched for the Two Hundred Naira note and was about picking a faded t-shirt when he spotted through the window, Chinedu, his neighbour's son, running in circles while busy manoeuvring a tyre with a short stick. "I could as well relax and save my strength", he thought. "Hey-you! Come here... I said come here. Are you deaf?" Eze shouted sensing the boy's reluctance. Chinedu quickly held up the tyre and ran up to him. "What?" he asked "Shut up idiot! Can't you greet? Your mate are busy doing their assignments and you are here rolling tyre upandan" "Sorry Uncle Eze", the boy said looking sulky and started using one dusty feet to scratch the other. "Now, take", Eze said, handling him a stainless plate in polythene bag. "Go to Mama Ruka and get me beans Hundred Naira. Bread Hundred Naira...ehn mmmm...wait collect one pure water and tell her I owe her 10 Naira. Go and don't be late ó!" With the instruction given, he thrusted the polythene bag and its content into the boys hands and turned to leave, when the boy whined like a cat before saying: "Beeeeeettttt Mummy said I should not go awwuut ooo". Eze spun round sharply as if to hit him and the boy quickly fled a metre away from reach. "If you don't go I'll seize your tyre and that your mummy will know you've been busy rolling it all noon". "Ooooooooooh", he groaned meekly marching off to get the food. The blackmail did the trick. For over 40 minutes, Eze laid sprawled on the bed waiting. But as the rumble in his stomach grew unbearable. He got up, wore a t-shirt and made for the door. "Is Mama Ruka's Canteen not down the street? Where is this boy?" His words were cut short as he suddenly stumbled upon Chinedu sitting at the entrance. The latter quickly shot up and dashed to a considerable safe distance. "What are you doing here? No, wait o, where is my food?" Chinedu locking his fingers explained how he has slipped into a muddy ditch down the street. He gave a perfect description of the state of his bread and how the beans spilled out of the stainless plate. Neither of the two was salvaged. Speechless and suddenly tired, he turned and entered his room. He kicked his slippers to one corner and sank into a one-seater in the room. Chinedu materialized at the entrance still begging, expecting a beating while clutching what he could salvage from the accident. "Is that the pure water?" he asked with his voice almost croaking. "Yes", the boy answered. "Give it to me". This sudden subtlety was seemed suspicious to the boy, who felt this was a ploy to have him get closer for an ultimate showdown. He moved closer but dropped it on the stool quite close to Eze’s feet and repositioned himself back at the entrance. Eze now oblivious of the boy’s presence, picked and tore savagely at the sachet and began to gulp its content while Chinedu watched his throat crinkle in amazement. "Do you want to drink?" he asked half turning to the boy who he suddenly noticed was still in the room. "No sir!" he replied in a scared meek voice. "Then Gerrrout!" he barked and the scared boy scampered out into the compound. Eze stretched like a dog before adjusting himself into the chair again. Looking up, he caught sight of a busy spider biting at a trapped moth struggling to free itself from an earlier spun web. "Aren’t we all struggling in this trap?", he muttered as he continued to stare till the spider and moth blurred out of his focus.
