Please, read my story, but do not judge me till you get to the end. The end of my story is actually its beginning, for I was never alive till I had lived drained of the last drop of death in me.

Let me begin this way, when your father, who should be your god becomes your devil, you are done. This is the summary of my tragedy and the end of the beginning.

Now, let us go to the beginning of the end.

"Our incest started before you were born," he told me after our 14th night, an affair now becoming normal. He said he always knew I was just as sweet when he felt my head in my mother's field of seeds. My father has become my idol, devil and God. Oh, and it Isn't his fault, "blame it on death", so he tells me. The death that took my mother caused the rain to beat me so heavily. 

On the night of her death, she told me the story of how my father found her. She reminded me of his orphandom and how his uncle treated him badly by taking away all he should have inherited. She reminded me also that she was in an almost similar position, save that her aunt was wealthy and kind enough to take her in. So, when she met him as a man who has struggled himself through life just like her, she was willing to take a chance.

This is not all to the story. My father had already developed enough sexual addictions which he resort to anytime he was getting weighed down. Therefore, in order to save him from the severe rigors of abstinence, which may even end in depression, she does the unimaginable. Dad had been admitted severally for such and he only comes home the next day after mum visits him there to sleep over. So, her death places me in a position to help him remain human. 

Perherps, before you judge me, you should first adjudicate my grandmother whom my father said has my type of gene, for she like me had to fill in for the dilemmas of her father, my great grandfather. 

Some have said it is a curse from his first wife who discovered my grandmother, her step daughter shared bed with her husband and became jealous for the perception that herself wasn't that good in bed for the reason why, even after the death of her rival wife, he still went to her daughter.

Concludingly, there is no dilemma, life itself is. But I just want to wish you goodluck dear daughter, because I know this may be my last letter to you. My husband, your father is a kind man and I believe he will treat you better than my father did me before and even after I met your father. Till then, do not get pregnant because I never did for my dad and live happy knowing death is but bliss.
