The tale of Big Heads
Your father had ten children, and you all have big heads, for you were your father's children. Okpocha is his name.
Okpocha had killed a boy with his head when he was 17. Ikemefuna. He was your father's best friend, but his anger had gotten over him and he nodded Ikemefuna on the chest after he learnt he had an affair with his girlfriend. Ikemefuna died.
Nkwocha is your best friend, and now he calls you 'big head with no brain'. He calls you that whenever you get into an argument and he sees you are winning.
Today he has called you by that name again, and you're angry. Very angry.
You feel your heart racing faster, your blood is now rushing through your veins faster than usual and your head felt like it's swelling and its about to burst. "Big head with no brain" he said louder again and you couldn't bear it anymore. You sprang forward and landed a trademark nod on Nkwocha's chest.
You could have guessed what would happen next, but you were wrong - Nkwocha would fall and die like Ikemefuna, you thought. But he seems to be smiling instead.
You felt a free flow from your head and you're feeling dizzy. It was blood freely flowing from your forehead like water from a rock in the days of Moses.
"It is true you have big heads in your family. But it is also true we have strong chests in my family too. I am my father's son." Nkwocha said amidst a grin.
You felt weak, and your big head now seems too much for your body to carry. Your head is still leaking.
You fainted.
