The Blank Bullet

a serial by Tunde Akingbade

A two-act African play tells a timeless tale about a young man who seeks immortality through marriage.

Yoruba Drums - Chief Kolokolo married Lady Bonfo, when she was 22 years old because he believed that a girl younger than his first wife Madam Bodex would "tone his blood and skin" and he can remain youthful as it is opined in some African societies. He was warned by his first wife not to marry a second wife because of a secret, which she had kept over the years. She however did not disclose that there was any secret. But Chief Kolokolo refuses and this leads to a chain of reactions and tragic consequences for the family. Cut in this web is Dr.Otoloto who has just become their family doctor.

THE CLINIC OF DOCTOR OTOLOTO - Chief.... we have concluded the examination as I told you before and our findings show that.... em, em. All right Chief, your wife will have to excuse us. We will call her later after I have spoken with you.
