The Victor a Victim By Gotname B. Ibrahim

" David rushed to open the door for Rose when they parked on a 

poorly lit street. He pointed to his apartment on the first floor

of the three-storey house when she stepped out. A frisson of

panic rose in Rose's belly, but she tried her best to keep it 

down. “This one that your street is dark, are you guys up to no 

good here?” she asked jokingly, in a bid to downplay her fear.

David smiled back, “This is not one of those fancy areas, my

dear. We're just managing the economy.”

Almost immediately, Rose felt silly, but she smiled and 

followed him into the ঞny compound. Even in the dark and 

with the absence of a big compound, she could see that the 

landlord had tried to make the space conducive for his tenants. "
