TARGETED: A Tale of Spiritual Battle
CHAPTER ONE
® Chris Jonathan
Sometimes people are hard to the extreme when it gets to what they believe. Especially when they have gotten a taste of it's potency. Works cements believe and gives faith a ground root. It takes special evidences and unfiltered testimony to convince them.
Mr obi is a devout christian. He has Christianity locked up in his core, a radical Christian. He believes in God and the Bible. He believes that the Bible is not just a book that holds ancient history rather it is a revelation of light that imparts eternal life. Mr obi believes that life is a battle field controlled by the spiritual, by those who knows and wield greater power.
Obi Ephraim is the first and only son in the family of three children. His father Chika Obi was a farmer and so was his wife. Ephraim as far as he could reminisce knew that their family was poor . The richest person in their family was his uncle who made twenty thousand naira monthly from his teaching profession which is a great feat for him. Year after year, Chika could not boast of ten thousand naira after the year's expenses. They barely ate two square meal per day. At the age of six, he and his siblings were already looking malnourished. They were heavy clouds with no water. The fruit of their labours never grew and even when it bore fruit, it was eaten by the vultures.
Ephraim was never satisfied. Like Oliver Twist, he wanted more. He did petty and hard jobs to keep body and soul together but all efforts amounted to nothing. At fifteen years ago, he looked like olumo rock. His friends named him a " Living ancestor". Ephraim's one set of clothes never went unnoticed as his peers considered it a family relic.
Every year, Ephraim always has this one nightmare. A shout of despair, a cloak of shame, a scroll whose letters are written in blood, an unbreakable shackles and voices of vengeance. " There are voices, bloods, and covenants I have made with the Obi's."
