"Which animal do I know that knows me deeply?"
I have asked myself this question tirelessly when I saw the prompt, and it's so hard to pick one because I haven't really been close to any animal for a long time for the animal to have the mind to know me deeply or judge my acts.
A housefly would have been the closest one to have known me deeply in my house, but unfortunately for that fly, they don't have access into my house. My door is always closed and there's no way for them to enter, and if by mistake they find their way in, I will feel restless until I pick up my big broom (the local broom) to kill it.
We have never owned a pet. Even in the compound I'm living in now, there's no pet like a dog — nothing at all. A family has some local chickens, but these chickens don't get to live in the compound; they have their freedom in the town, but the owner knows how to trap them whenever it's Christmas Day. Lol.
Oh yes! I just remembered one animal that knows me down to my deepest parts and sees everything I do and everything that happens in my house — that animal is the mosquito. Yes, mosquitoes, plenty of them.
If these animals were to judge me and say the kinds of things I do in my deepest secrets, I would wish for the ground to open and swallow me, and possibly vomit me out when everything has died off.
Does it mean I do a lot of bad things?
No no no, I'm not bad at all, but the animals — with the rate at which we fight in my house — would angrily say even the things I don't do.
But then, they would have a lot of good things to say about me too, especially with the fact that I don't do evil like most people. I don't have any skeletons in my cupboard, neither do I go to the covens at night.
Thanks for reading.
