It took me some time to make such a decision, but after much deliberating, I finally braced myself to jump from the balcony of our house. 

And I did.

I jumped from the balcony!

I plunged very fast when I took the huge leap, the wind whooshing past my ears so much that I almost lost my balance. 

And, as my feet slammed down on the cemented floor below, I heard the crunching sound of bones breaking. 

It was so loud that it resonated a loud popping sound throughout our house.

"Wow!" I said, struggling to catch my breath. "I didn't expect her skull and bones to be so delicate."

I was referring to my girlfriend, Veronica, whose blōodied skull, mushy brain, and bones were now littered across the floor.

I had tied her to the floor, before jumping from the low balcony, crushing her skull and bones with my thick boots. 

It's what she deserves, after all. She shouldn't have cheated on me with that boy she met on a Facebook group.

Being that it was a Friday, it crammed with people but we managed to find a table near the window. 

Things were moving well as my friend and I ate our meal, subtly mocking this noisy couple seated on the table beside ours, a girl of about 21 and a boy of 23 who wouldn’t keep their hands off themselves, kissing and giggling.

We were almost done with our meal when the restaurant’s door suddenly slammed open, and a furious dark man surged in, yelling as he made a beeline to the table of the couple beside us who stared at him with shock on their faces, their bodies trembling visibly.

“Shey I told you? A normal girl no go allow man touch am like this in public. This girl don leave her boyfriend follow another man waka come here. She no say em go catch them. Na em boyfriend I dey pity. All these long-throat girls sef. Make I see wetin the man go do,” my friend and the people in the restaurant muttered as the angry man approached the two. A waiter rushed forward to settle the pressing issue.

Waiter: Please, what is it, sir?

Not minding the waiter, Dark man: So, you did this to me after everything I’ve done for you.

Waiter: Sir, you’re disturbing our customers.

*Everyone watches attentively *

Dark man(now crying): I thought you promised to love me. You said you love me

Waiter: Sir, I’m being respectful. Please, lower your voice.

Dark man: I gave you everything. Even the phone on your hand, I bought it for you yet you chose to break my heart. 

Waiter(turns to the girl): Ma’am, please, I think you should take him outside and calm him.

Dark man: Who? I don’t know her. I’m talking to the boy seated there, he’s my boyfriend.

My friend, me, the waiters, the cleaners, and all the customers:
