Chapter 6: Ghost Dey Return

As I finally calm down, one person for roadside wave me.

My mind jump—na that kain wave wey fit make driver stop for police. But I see say e be woman. My heart begin race.

I match brake.

I press brake so tey, my car nearly stop for gutter. I dey sweat like goat wey dem dey drag for Sallah.

Na the woman from last night.

As I see am, fear almost make me piss for body. I dey stammer, "Y-you... you don come."

My voice shake, na only God know how e sound. E be like say I dey beg for my life with mouth wey no open finish.

She no talk, just try open my passenger door. But as she see the thunder wood, she just shift back quick.

E be like say current shock am. Her eye sharp, she look the wood, step back small. For that moment, I dey thank God say I listen to old man.

I hold my breath, no gree make any sound.

My chest tight, my hand dey shake for steering. For my mind, na prayer full everywhere. "Baba God, abeg, cover me with your blood."
