Hey steemit, today I will begin a novel series...honestly am not sure where it's leading to but let's see what comes. It's titled:

"It wasn't long i discovered i had missed my period, my mother would be ashamed of me, my father would practically disown me, my friends would laugh at me, even i was ashamed of who I had become. Is David the father? Or is it Duke? My mind was warped, the events of that night were still muffled in my head or maybe I just didn't want to remember. Hell I had to, if i wanted to survive."
EPISODE 1 - THE BEGINNING OF THE END
My country is richly endowed in minerals and oil and yes, in beautiful women also. My name is Boma, as in the luscious and sweet fruit of the dense parts of the thick forest. I come from Nigeria where nothing goes for nothing and something goes for something. My father is a palm-wine tapper and my mother is a trader at the local market.
Sometimes i go with my father to the farm where he collects his palm-wine and while he is doing that, i am collecting different insects I can find. I love insects you see, the smaller the cuter they are to my eyes and i try to feed them as though they whispered to me that they were hungry, foolish child behaviors Lol now that I think back. I loved to accompany my father, especially in the evenings when the sun is going down and the moon is making threats to overthrown. The reason is because there is this peculiar insect I loved to collect, it usually lights up at night and flies around. The light seems to come from the back region of the insect, so i would collect and watch them. An interesting fact with this insect is when it notices it is being watched or held captive, most of the time it won't light up anymore and just seem like a regular insect (way to go for defense mechanism).
This story truly started when i gained admission into the university and i had to leave the confines of my little village to the much bigger city. The bigger the city, the bigger your troubles I guess because of the saying "with greatness comes great responsibility". I would imagine you think you know where this tale is ended but i laugh in Spanish lol, because this story is like one you have never heard.
On resumption to the campus, I had to hurry up with my registration because I was quite late and a tad bit close to the closing date. This was because my father had to rally for the money and I must confess, I was a bit surprised because he initially wanted me to get married after my secondary education. It was while I was sorting through the registration process that I met my dear friend Susan. She had an outspoken personality and we quickly became best of friends. Susan was done with her registration so she had all the time to assist me in doing mine, while giving me the hottest gossips making waves already on campus. My secret life was just about to begin and it promises thriller, action, betrayal, and romance. Watch out for this space.
