Daylight Murder

By

 


The first thing that greeted Jane as she pushed the door open was the strong whiff of blood. Its metallic smell drifted softly past her nose. It smelt fresh. Jane stood transfixed at the door for a moment, before her eyes suddenly widened and her hands balled into fists. "No! No! No!", she chanted as she followed the smell and raced for the bathroom. Hurried thoughts rushed through her brain, "My babies! No, No! Which one of them did he kill this time?!"


She got to the bathroom, pushed the brown wooden door wide open and the shock that hit her was enough to send her crumbling to the ground. "Not my baby! No, not Daisy!" She screamed and reached out for the bathtub, crawling towards it.


"That murderer! How could he? This is no mistake! Two murders in four weeks? Definitely not an accident!" She said, amidst loud sobs.


She paused and took a careful look into the tub again, what she saw broke her. Mangled wrists, torn flesh, bashed in brain...the exact pattern as last time! She had had enough! This time, she saw red and she was going to make him pay.


"Jack! Jack!" Jane screamed as she made her way to the garden in fast strides. She picked up a baseball bat from the bin in the lounge on her way out.


She stopped at the foot of the small white fence, looked straight at the bent figure harvesting zucchinis and bellowed, "You evil, evil man! Do you know what you've just done? What did she ever do to you!". 


Jack just looked up, gave her an irritating smirk and huffed, "Don't blame me! I just got tired of that nuisance running around my garden and spoiling all my good work."


Jane couldn't believe her ears, "You maniac! That is not an excuse to commit gruesome murder. You know how much I loved her. How... how could you do that to me?!" She launched into silent tears.


"It's just a rabbit, Jane. You'll get over it." He said and continued his digging.


At that, she lost all sense of reason, marched straight into the garden and hurled the bat at him. 


Let's just hope she doesn't kill him😂😉



Ande Joy.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
