RE: ADSactly Short Story - The Evil Twin
You have written this beautifully. I like the names given to the characters in your story.
Simply put, you took us back to the time of Mary Slessor and how she stopped the killing of twins in Calabar.
Between, a long time ago, I read somewhere that it wasn't Mary Slessor that actually stopped the killing of twins in Calabar, but another Mary, who travelled and worked with Mary Slessor all the time in Calabar, Nigeria. I will look for the source and attach it but if anyone can vouch this please help.
I'm not very conversant with that story but it is entirely possible that credit was given to the wrong person. However, I think that anyone who worked in those areas at that time deserves some accolades because until this day, those were not easy places to navigate. It is a large area of which Calabar is the most civilized.
Thanks for your comment.
