Fiction, though a work of imagination, aptly represents life. This is why Laurence Perrince says that fiction must in addition to the entertainment it offers, educate. By education, he means that fiction helps human beings to live. A writer has the onus to represent the society the way he perceives it, subtly condemns societal ills so that the reader reads and sees the consequences of the ills on the perpetrators and then, avoid such ill acts in order not to be visited by the fate of the characters in the fictional work. This is why it is said that fiction is a mirror of the author's society. What happens around the author inspires him. The inspiration that led to the conception of this story is the fact that youths of the contemporary society are lured into cultism. Many tantalising promises are made to them but sooner after they had joined, they discover that they have made the deadliest mistake of their life but they find it difficult to come out because of the covenant they had entered into. I decided to write this short story to x-ray to the unwary the dangers of cultism and the reason why they must shun it.
