Okirika boys Ep8: Valley of questions
<p>Nana had to push me to snap out of my temporal shock. We shot towards the hoodie guy we labelled Shadow but he escaped. I believe he found a way to blend into the crowd that was already in chaos. The boy who touched god finally touched fear. Maybe that's why we should fear god. I pondered on the why I was so conflicted. Was it because I always thought Priest will be my kill or because Shadow's traumatic experience with Priest was why I and Nana wanted Priest gone. We could have sworn Shadow died that day at the Barbershop. He looked lifeless. The boy who slumped at the barbershop has given Priest his last cut.</p><p>Wait, what if Shadow isn't the enemy? Can we blame a man for the choices society made for him as a child? Why would Shadow point at us? Shadow knew the way of the streets. Could he be the same rogue agent who executed Priest's soldiers? Is it possible to meet Shadow? How do we find him? Where do ghosts hide? One thing was sure and that was the fact that I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to my son. He deserved a better life and I wasn't going to be the reason he would be hurt. Should I run away? Tah, Snr Man like me no fit disembark when e burst. I wanted to leave the game but on my own terms. Who goes Shadow? Obobb, wetin Shadow want sef.</p><p>I spoke with Nana and Storm and they equally had questions. One thing we all agreed on was that we were out running. These are our streets and we built our hood. Nobody was going to to break us. If our anchor burst we go swim. Nothing wey shore never sea!</p>
