Jane and Solomon

By: Albine kirui

Some hours are unholy for some stories, 

To narrate a story that happened  one hour past midnight is a devilish story if not describing the stories of the nocturnal hyenas. 

No one can  believe a story of a woman roaming after midnight looking for milk like a witch.

Without blinking she narrated this story that happened past midnight,

She never told us how she cuddled her husband to sleep, 

She never narrated the warmth of her matrimonial bed, 

She told us indirectly  that  her husband was naive and without reason, 

Which husband would let her wife roam  at night looking for milk,  when the milk man  was only milking his cows in his dreams, 

This story of Jane was already soiled with blood, 

That she was sick past midnight was really the hangs man rope that winded on her neck without knowing. 

If she was really sick and her  story was true, 

Her husband should have been the one worrying about milk for his sick wife. 

The unholy story ended sadly, 

Salomon never lived to tell us his side of the story. 

If the hyenas who smelled the blood that night, 

Would have narrated their part of the story,

They would have told us of how humans turned blood hounds like them  before dawn.
