THE SECOND BORN'S CURSE

Almathea Bastete is the second-born child of her family. At the age of five, she was abandoned by her parents and thrown to the most desolate place in the house to keep her a secret. In this society where the birth of a second child is illegal, Almathea is supposed not to exist as she should have been killed upon her birth. Her parents do well in hiding her, however, when she turns seventeen, her parents have to make the decision to let her go for her safety and their own. Will she discover why second-born children are shunned in their society and bring back the harmony between the children born second and the rest of the world? What about the underlying danger that is lurking in the shadows, threatening to bring about the end of the world? Do they have the courage to face it all?

LET'S DRINK

Morning arrived quickly. The banging on her door that morning was louder than the previous morning. Lexine covered her ears with her pillow. Just a few more minutes in bed was all she wanted. Just like the previous day however, the person on the other side was relentless. Lexine peeked her eyes from under the pillow and looked at the streams of sunlight decorating the floor.

The voice from the other side of the door spoke up. "Lexine, are you up yet? Breakfast is in twenty minutes."

Lexine immediately recognised Christana's voice. 'How on earth can someone have this much energy in the morning.'

She dragged herself out of bed and opened the door. "What?"

Christana smiled deeply. "It's morning. You promised us tea in the morning. It's morning."

Lexine sighed and ran a hand down her face. She patted down her unruly hair and tied it with a scrunchie that was on her wrist.

"You said it's morning twice. I get it."
