HUMAN HEADS: This is Why You Must Always Check Madmen in Your Area

once upon a time in a village named ikuku there lived a mad man named Madu Madu looked like the Earth itself had spat him out his clothes were nothing but Rags clinging to his body like leaves to a dying tree his hair was Wild shooting out in every direction like the branches of a thorn bush his face covered in dirt carried a strange look half smile half Shadow on his back was a big sack old and worn it sagged heavy like it carried the weight of a secret too dark to speak everywhere Madu went that sack followed like a snail and its

shell the villagers stared at him from their Windows who is this man one whispered he looks like he has no home no family another shook her head he must be mad Madu didn’t seem to notice their Whispers he walked straight to the big ioko tree by the market square and dropped his sack the tree stood tall its branches stretching wide like a Giant’s arms that was where Madu made his home he curled up under the tree and slept the rain falling around him like a cold blanket mothers warned their children stay away from that man mad people can

harm you the children nodded but their eyes were curious they wanted to know what was inside that sack it was big too big for a Madman to carry and it always seemed to smell of something strange like dried leaves and burnt wood but Madu didn’t bother anyone in the mornings he begged for food the women gave him scraps and he nodded in thanks in the afternoons he sat by the tree chewing on sticks or throwing stones like a child playing a lonely game he muttered to himself words nobody understood and sometimes he laughed a

laugh that sounded like dry leaves crunching underfoot the villagers pied him poor man they said he’s harmless but still no one Dar to touch his sack and so life in ikuku went on with Madu sitting quietly under the ioko tree he sack Always by his side guarding its Secrets like a crocodile guards the river little did they know the rains that brought Madu to their Village also carried a storm far more dangerous a storm with sharp teeth and no mercy one fateful day The Village woke to the sounds of roosters crowing and women

starting their morning chores Little Chica a bright-eyed girl of seven skipped out of her Hut with a small Calabash in her hand her mother had sent her to buy palm oil from Mama and K’s stall come back quickly chica her mother called after her don’t so don’t stop to play I won’t Mama chica shouted her voice like a sweet melody floating through the air but chica didn’t return at first her mother waited patiently thinking she had stopped to chat with her friends but as the sun climbed higher in the sky worry began to creep

into her heart she stepped outside and called chica chika her voice echoed through the village but there was no answer soon neighbors joined her searching every corner of ikuku they checked the market the stream and even the bushes near the edge of the village but chica was nowhere to be found her Calabash lay abandoned by the path as empty as the Hope in her mother’s heart by evening the whole village was buzzing with Whispers where could she have gone some asked could an animal have taken her others wondered but one question lingered in

the air like smoke from a dying fire could it be the madman the women gathered near the Market Square their voices hushed but sharp he strange one said always carrying that big sack who knows what’s inside anod shook her head he’s just a poor madman she argued he wouldn’t harm a child still the suspicion hung like a shadow over Madu he sat under the ioko tree chewing on a stick his sack resting beside him as always he didn’t seem to notice the Villager stairs or hear their Whispers when someone asked him if he had seen

chica he simply laughed a sound that sent shivers down their spines mad people don’t know anything an elder said shaking his head let’s keep searching night fell and the village was swallowed by silence broken only by the sound of chica’s mother sobbing into the darkness the stars blinked coldly in the sky as if watching over a secret they would never tell chica was gone and ikuku would never be the same again the days rolled into weeks and weeks turned into months the memory of Little Chica still haunted ikuku like a shadow that refused

to fade her mother’s cries had grown quieter but her sorrow hung in the air heavy like the Morning Mist life in the village tried to return to normal but the fear never truly left then it happened again it was a quiet morning when emica a bright and curious boy boy of 10 was sent to fetch water from the stream his laughter had always been like the chirping of birds filling the village with joy with his small wooden bucket in hand he waved goodbye to his siblings I’ll be back soon he called but IMA never came back when the sun climbed

high and there was no sign of him his mother grew worried she sent his older brother to check the stream the buck was there sitting on the bank but a maker was gone as if the Earth had swallowed him whole his brother ran back to the Village shouting EMA EMA is missing the news spread quickly the villagers gathered once again their faces pale and their hearts racing not another child they murmured their voices trembling they searched the stream the bushes and the near by Farms but AA was nowhere to be found the fear that had been lurking

now Rose like a flood drowning the village in panic mothers held their children close refusing to let them out of their sight doors were locked as soon as the sun began to set and the once Lively Village streets grew quiet and tense as before whispers about Madu filled the air it must be him one woman said her voice low he came with that sack and since then our children have disappeared but he’s mad another argued what would a Madman want with children he’s always sitting under that tree watching everything someone else said what if

he’s pretending despite the Whispers no one dared to confront Madu he sat under the OKO tree as always chewing on sticks and humming to himself his sack ever present rested by his side silent but suspicious fear spread like wildfire through ikuku children no longer played outside and even the bravest Hunters hesitated to stay late in the forest every shadow seemed alive every sound a threat yet even with all their fear the villagers kept their distance from Madu the thought thought of accusing him of opening his sack was too much to bear

and so the village lived in quiet Terror as if holding its breath waiting for the next storm to come however when night fell Madu came alive under the shadow of the ioko tree he shed the mass of Madness like a snake sheds its skin his wild laugh turned to silence his vacant stare Sharp open like the blade he carried from his sack Madu pulled out his knife its Edge glinting in the Moonlight like the teeth of a hungry Beast he moved with the Quiet Grace of a leopard his feet light on the ground the night was his shield and the Darkness

his ally Madu had a plan he wasn’t mad he was clever the villagers pity was his cloak their ignorance his weapon he knew how to pick his victims How to lure them without a sound children were easy he would hide in the shadows waiting for a small figure to pass by then he would leap out his dirty face Twisted in a mockery of friendliness come here little one he would say his voice dripping with false sweetness I have something for you sweets fruits whatever you like too scared to scream and too tempted to run

the children followed and when they got close enough Madu struck quick silent his knife moved like a Viper and the deed was done women were next those who fetched water late at night thinking the path was safe became his prey Madu would sit by the roadside pretending to sleep when they passed he would rise like a ghost and grab them before they could cry for help even men strong farmers and Hunters who wandered too far into the forest weren’t safe Madu knew their routines their weaknesses he was patient like a spider waiting in its web with

his sack heavier now Madu made his way deep into the forest where the trees whispered secrets to the wind there hidden among the Shadows was a small Hut this was where the ritualists waited men with dark desires they welcome Madu like an old friend their faces eager and greedy a good workor one would say counting the heads you’ll be rewarded well Madu would collect his payment a bundle of coins or goods and vanish back into the night by the time the first rooster crowed he was back under the ioko tree humming and chewing on sticks

the picture of a harmless madman no one suspected no one dared to ask the sack that sat beside him held The Village’s darkest secret a secret M carried like a burden he had long grown used to and so while the village slept Madu thrived his evil hidden in plain sight M’s Secret Life carried on but even the cleverest crocodile risked the river’s wrath three times Madu nearly met his end but each time He Slipped Away like oil on water the first close call happened on a bright afternoon a farmer’s wife was returning from her Farm her basket

filled with casava she walked past the ioko tree and glanced at Madu sitting with his sack as always something caught her eye dark sticky drops sliding from the bottom of the sack blood her heart skipped a beat she hurried home and told her husband her words tumbling out like a broken pot there’s blood on that mad man’s sack you must go and see the farmer gathered some men their machetes gleaming in the sun they marched to the ioko tree determined to confront Madu but as they approached Madu jumped to his feet his eyes wide and wild he began

to shout waving his arms like a mad Prophet leave me alone he screamed the spirits are speaking to me they will curse you if you come near the men hesitated fear creeping into their hearts mad people have strong Juju one whispered slowly they backed away leaving Madu laughing under the tree his sack untouched the second time was in the Deep of the night a hunter returning from the forest saw Madu dragging his sack through the bushes the hunter crowed Ed behind a tree his curiosity burning like a flame he followed quietly

stepping carefully to avoid making noise Madu stopped suddenly and turned his eyes glowing like red hot coals in the Moonlight the hunter froze his courage melting like Wax before fire without a word he dropped his Spear and ran back to the Village his heart pounding like a drum I saw him he told the villagers his eyes were like fire he’s not mad he’s something worse but fear kept the villagers from acting the third close call Happened One Lazy Afternoon a group of boys bored with their games decided to dare each other let’s see what’s

inside the madman’s sack one said his eyes gleaming with Mischief are you mad yourself another asked but they all laughed and AG greed they crept up to the ioko tree their footsteps as light as cat paws mul lay stretched out snoring softly his sack beside him one boy braver than the rest reached out to lift the sack but just as his fingers touched it mad’s laughter exploded like thunder the boys screamed dropping their sticks and running as fast as their legs could carry them behind them mad’s laughter followed echoing like a ghost

whale though Madu escaped each time these close calls began to stir the air in ikuku the villagers felt une EAS creeping in like a storm building in the distance the ioko tree Once just another part of the village now loomed Like A Silent Witness to something terrible and Madu the madman sat beneath it his sack guarding its Secrets like a sleeping lion meanwhile in the heart of iku’s Palace lived princess adaora The Jewel of the land her beauty Shone like the morning sun and her kindness was as soft as the evening Breeze everyone admired her for

she treated even the poorest villager like family her laughter could chase away the darkest clouds and her heart was as big as the sky One Market day as ad walked through the village with her maid her eyes fell on Madu he sat under the ioko tree he sack beside him as always chewing on a stick and humming softly the villagers avoided him Their Fear like an invisible wall around the tree but Adora stopped and stared why does everyone avoid him Adara asked her maid one day he’s a Madman my princess the maid replied fearing her voice

people say he’s dangerous he is still a human being Adara said firmly no one deserves to be treated like an animal the next morning Adora brought a bowl of hot yam porridge to Madu here eat she said her voice gentle Madu looked up surprised for a moment his eyes softened and he smiled a smile that seemed Almost Human thank you he muttered taking the food with trembling hands from that day ad daora visited Madu often bringing him food and even sitting to talk with him she treated him like he was normal asking about his life and listening to

his mumbled answers the villagers whispered why is the princess spending time with the madman they asked does she not see how strange he is but ad didn’t care about The Whispers she believed in helping people no matter who they were her kindness Shone like a beacon but she didn’t know it was drawing danger closer Madu beneath his mask of Madness saw ad as more than a kind princess he saw her as a prize a treasure greater than any he had ever claimed her head he thought will make me Rich Beyond My Dreams the

ritualist will pay anything for the King’s Daughter and so while Ada’s kindness grew mad’s plans darkened behind every smile he gave her there was a shadow a hunger for the ultimate betrayal one day as the sun dipped below the Horizon casting the village in a soft Golden Glow adaa had gone to visit Madu as usual but when the palace Gates closed and the stars filled the sky she didn’t return her maid worried went to the king your majesty she said B low the princess has not come back the king’s heart tightened he ordered his guards to

search the village they went to the market the stream and every Hut calling princess adaora princess adaora but the night answered with silence the villagers gathered their faces pale with fear what could have happened to her they whispered an old woman leaning on her walking stick spoke up check the mad man she said her voice firm his sack is always full and it smells too sweet for a mad man the gods hesitated but nodded they marched to the ioko tree their torches lighting the darkness Madu was there as always

sitting with his sack he hummed to himself rocking back and forth like a child what’s in your sack one of the Gods demanded stepping closer Madu looked up his eyes wide Spirits he shouted laughing the spirit speak to me you cannot touch their home but this time the gods didn’t back away they grabbed the sack their hands firm Madu screamed clawing at them but they tore it open the village froze inside the sack was the head of Princess adaora her golden hair still shining her face Frozen in a peaceful expression beside her were other heads

those of the missing villagers chica EMA and more gas filled the air followed by cries of horror the kind princess who had only wanted to help had become the victim of the very man she tried to save the god seized Madu dragging him to the Palace as he laughed wildly the iroko tree stood silent its branches swaying in the night wind as if mourning the secrets it had witnessed the storm of sorrow and rage that followed was one ikuku would never forget Madu was dragged to the Palace his hands bound with rough robes his feet stumbling on

the dusty ground the villagers followed their whales piercing the morning air the king sat on his throne his face carved with grief his beloved daughter princess Adora was gone her life snuffed out like a Candle in the Wind when M was thrown to the ground before him the king’s voice thundered like a storm you dare harm my daughter you dare bring this Darkness to my land his sorrow filled the room heavy as a mountain Madu on his knees looked up with a twisted smile his wild eyes roamed the crowd kill me if you must he said

his voice steady but know this I am not the only monster here the crowd gasped murmurs Ripple through the hole like the rustling of dry leaves what do you mean the king demanded his voice trembling with rage Madu laughed a sound that sent chills down their spines you call me evil but your own greed feeds the ritualists you sell your lands your children’s future for Promises of wealth and power without you there would be no market for the heads I brought them the villagers fell silent their faces pale his words stung like a whip each one a

harsh truth they could not deny you pity the madman Madu continued but you should pity yourselves it is your greed that poisons this land not me the king’s sorrow turned to Fury enough he roared you have taken what cannot be replaced your life will end today and the evil you have brought will end with you with a swift motion the guards carried out the King’s Command mad’s laughter stopped replaced by the quiet murmurs of the crowd but his words lingered in the air heavy and undeniable leaving the villagers ashamed

and angry at themselves the grief of Princess adora’s death was a fire that burned in the hearts of the villagers they could no longer ignore the shadow that had grown over auku M’s words echoed in their minds stirring both guilt and resolve We Must Destroy the ritualists One Elder said his voice firm like iron they have feasted on our Greed for too long led by the king’s Gods the villagers marched into the forest the trees loomed tall their branches Whispering secrets of old deep within they found the small Hut where Madu had

delivered his gruesome Goods inside the ritualist waited their faces Twisted with shock as the crowd stormed in no more of your evil the villagers shouted they tore down the Hut their anger bursting like a dam the ritualists were cap captured their tools of Darkness destroyed the forest once a Haven for their wickedness was cleansed with fire and prayers but even as they triumphed the loss of Princess adaora weighed heavy her kindness her laughter her light all gone leaving a wound that would never heal the villagers returned
