INTRODUCTION Tom, a looking-older-than-his-age young teenager, in his domineering posture, during a get-together with his level mates, took the center stage with his friends in a manner that they became the cynosure of all eyes. Still in the mood of dancing, some thoughts rolled in his mind; the need to get at the nearest bookstore a book that will soothe the cravings of his inner self-The Book of Evils. Although he didn’t have the money to make purchase and saw no need to ask for some money from his peers, he was head-bent to getting that soothing relief-the book. In an arrogant manner and amidst all the noise, he yelled: ’I’m out of here! … Will check on y’all soon!’ Perplexed his friends were, Mike, who happened to be his best friend, heightened his voice, asking: ’where are you going? We agreed to spend all day here but you here you are walking out on us just like that’. Mike’s statements didn’t make sense to Tom as responded by his deaf ears. He was poised to go the extra-mile to ensure that the book gets to him. Though he wasn’t familiar with the place he and his friends made merry at the get-together of all their level mates, after moving the length and breadth of the area, he was fortunate to locate a bookstore at the ebbing hours of the day. As he went right in, he met a female attendee, whom he later knew as Tasha. With no money in his pocket, Tom, using his baritone voice and garnishing it with words of poetic influences, mesmerized Tasha. Tasha was completely lost in the euphoria of the poetic in-filling of Tom’s words in a soothing baritone voice. Unknown to her, she failed to fence what was left in her care, allowing Tom exercise his naturally sticky fingers and eventually disappearing into thin air with the big fish he caught; The Book of Evils. Succeeding in what he wanted, he dashed to the venue of the get-together but found the absent presence of his level mates; friends inclusive. It was at this point Tom knew he was at a fix-he never knew the way to his house. Still, he was very satisfied parting away with the book. Now, the die is cast; will Tom swallow his ego and ask for the way to his house or decide to move from pillar to post aimlessly? After intense rumination about his current predicament, he decided to get off the hook of being between the devil and deep blue sea by turning himself to the nearest police station and thereafter, a TV station, reporting to the public in order to show him the way home. It took a Good Samaritan, in the person of Kyle, who happens to be next-door neigbour to Tom to come to his rescue and took him home. On getting home, Sarah, who is also a mother to his two younger siblings, rained brimstone and fire as both parties were busy trading words at each other. In what seemed to the height of altercation, close-door neigbours had to clear the air of rift that existed between Tom and his mum, Sarah. Again, the only thing that mattered to Tom was that the Book of Evils was with him and nothing more. Normalcy returned as peace became the order of the day except for thing…Tom’s obsession for books that portray evil. This would affect him in a certain way… It was a fateful Friday evening, at about 7:00p.m, when he decided to give room for extensive perusal of the book he took away without the official consent of the attendant at the bookstore. In no time, he got himself soaked in the potency of the book’s communicated words. After eight long hours of reading between the pages in his private room, the wind of sleep blew him away. It was during his sleep, he had this disturbing dream…
