JESSICA

(My story of faith and pain)

My name is Jessica. I was once that vibrant and happy girl until suddenly – my honey comb turned bitter.

It happened when I fell sick in school. As the school girls perfect I took permission from a teacher to go home which I did and cuddled myself up in bed. I always have this bad typhoid that do come at intervals despite my carefulness of what I drink and eat, and that afternoon my mother returned from work with my younger brother and saw me in bed shivering.
