This story is set like a typical Nollywood film; you desecrate the land and the gods visit you with wrath. Opening up when he did was good for him. Who knows, maybe he would keep having bad dreams owing to his thoughts of the thing he had done and due to his friend's death.
lol, with is words of yours, I think would try writing for the Nollywood industry 😂. Thanks for your quality time here friend.
