The Party

Episode 1

Nothing mattered in that silence stricken minute. The buzzing music of the house party was stopped by one sentence, “who killed my girlfriend?”

The tension in the living room of the beach house was almost tangible. No one was moving, no one was speaking, even the breathing of the youths had become inaudible.

Thabo was fuming. His sweetheart, his swidi lomkhuhlane was dead. Killed in a way Thabo preferred not to dwell on.

But one thing was certain, “no one is leaving until I get an answer get an answer!” He instructed his friends to “Lock all the doors and close all the windows.” This was no joke. On the day of celebration, the greatest tragedy of man have taken place. In his parent’s beach house. Slowly Thabo weaved between the party-goers. Looking each person in the eye as he passed by. His own eyes were as icy as a window on a winter morning. “I will ask one more time, then I’m beating someone up. “Who killed my girlfriend?” he stopped. Turning to someone he didn’t recognize, he asked, “what’s your name?”

The youngster standing before him trembled. “Isaac” the boy replied.

“Isaac, did you know my girlfriend?”

“No. I was invited by Ben.”

Thabo turned to his close friend, his eyes narrowed deep in thought. Then in a swift motion, he knocked Isaac out cold. “Who’s next?” Thabo continued as the crowd divided as the red sea.
