Free Conscience #3
The morgue because the description resembles his friend’s
But on his way, his mind tells him not to try it and he stopped
And return to his house. What of if the announcement is
Another trap designed by those people to get to him? If
He goes there, they would get him and trace him out, and
What his friend died for would have been nothing. What
Of if it was not even the government who is responsible
For the paid advert? What of if they have insiders among the
Anatomists taking care of the morgue? When he was unable to answer
Those questions satisfactorily, he stays back and would not
Send anyone to the place to find out the details for him
Because those people will also not rest. He keeps monitoring
The news to know what would happen to the corpse of his
Friend, and also keeps the secret to himself. After some days, one
Of his friend’s siblings comes to the island because it has
Been a while that he has seen his brother last and on
Hearing the news he decided to check the morgue and then
He discovers that it was his brother who has been killed
He called others and they claimed his body so that
They will give him proper burial. The man has gone dark
And he would not attend the burial because he could still
Be traced by those people if he dares to attend the
Burial of his friend. Few months after, he started depositing
The money into his account until all was saved. Then he
Started making contacts about his friend. His family
Members told him about his friend’s demise and his
Burial. He was sorry to hear that and told them that he
Has been sick for a while and did not see his friend before
His demise. He did not tell them about the money because
They may think he was the one who sets his friend up
And because he knows why his friend has been murdered
Who knows maybe those robbers were still monitoring any
Members of his family’s activities or even his siblings may be
Among those who killed his friend because the world is
A complex place, full of wickedness. No one can be trusted.
You only have to trust yourself. The robbers on discovering
That they had lost out, would not bother themselves about
Trailing any members of his family again. About a year after
The man starts some businesses with the money and as the
Business grows, he always remembers his friend and was
Supporting any of this friend’s family’s dreams that he is
Aware of. This was how this man saved his head and formed
A foundation in the name of his late friend for people
In the society. The man’s business has grown in the island.
His father in-law adds that, some things need careful
Consideration before being done, because if one is
Not careful one would blame himself at the end of it all
For the grievous mistake that one has made. This man who
Has been uncertain of what to do about the man’s
Money that he has been privy to because of his conscience
Got his conscience cleared on remembering this story and
He decides that what he wants to do was the right course
Of action, if a conscience has been imprisoned, one is a living
Corpse. After clearing his conscience he seeks out for the
Person to partner with and use for the deal, he got
Someone he has hoped for and they signed their pact
Making the deal happen.
