NIKIA THE PANDORA

Lance Oliver Keeble

One thinks of the strangest things when they’re tied up. Especially when it’s not for pleasure. You find yourself asking, How did I get myself in this predicament?

Smack! The sound echoed in the dark dank concrete room used as a dungeon. Nikia abruptly awakened by a rush of pain across her face, it was her nemesis, the Black Russian, who would, for the next hour, be taking out his frustrations on her. Nikia was tall, her skin color of newly creamed coffee; covered with freckles head to toe. Her hair was thick with large curls. Her multicolored locks where black and brown with blond streaks in the winter and red streaks in the summer. Her Afro framed her face, hiding ears. As a child she was teased for her freckles and wild hair, a product of African and Irish slaves coupling. As an adult, men and women alike pursued her. Today she’d been captured.

Nikia was tied to a large oak cross, bound by abrasive thick manila rope – how apropos. Actually, it was called a St. Andrew’s cross. It was quite uncomfortable.

Nikia had started her day happy. This was her last year as this city’s heroine. She had fallen in love. She was getting married soon. She looked forward to retiring and being a mother. She looked forward to transferring the Herculean task of heroine to a new female child, a new generation of the unknown and unseen protectors of earth.

Whack, came the hand of her enemy, as he stalked back and forth, talking trash to her. Nikia contemplated her escape.

“You fuckin’ bitches are all the same!”

Nikia was not; she was the ultimate woman and she inherited superior power and the proverbial virtues of womanhood, including persuasion, persistence and endurance to the tenth power to name a few. Nikia was all the positives of womankind packed into a single human being. Even her tolerance for pain was unmatched. No man could endure what a woman was created to endure. Childbirth is that ultimate example and proof. Still, Nikia wasn’t enjoying this thrashing.

Black Russian is a drink containing vodka and coffee. It’s also the name of the asshole standing before Nikia monologuing and hitting her. His true name is Peter Nieves Gannibal. Peter’s family was transplanted to Russia many years ago. He was a descendant of an Afro-Russian nobleman, military engineer and general who was kidnapped as a child and presented as a gift to Peter the Great who raised the child in the Emperor’s household. Russia was Peter’s homeland via kidnapping.

Whap! He hit her again and stood in front of her in grand fashion. Hitting her rapidly proved that he was a sadistic twat. His long trench coat flowed like a flag as he breathed heavily through his mask, bragging about finally winning, finally getting the upper hand, finally ridding the world of her kind.

Nikia Lynott was an Eve, an Anesidora. Americans called her Pandora from the Greek mythos. It was much deeper than that. They were descendants of Lilith, Lucy, Mawu – the real Eve from over 150,000 years ago.
