Dead Men's Path in a Nutshell

 Author’s note: This is a retelling response to Dead Men’s Path.

The first event in Dead Men’s Path is when Michael Obi is appointed Headmaster of Ndume Central School. A woman then walked through the path on the school grounds when Michael Obi was the Headmaster. Next Obi blocked off the path with stakes and barbed wire so that the townsfolk could not use the path because the Government Education Officer would not approve of it. The priest of the town then talked with Obi about taking down the blockade and was denied. Two days later a woman died. Subsequently, the townspeople tore apart the flowers, hedges, and what was blocking the path.
