BLEEDING SCAR depicts an African setting where cultural values are highly esteemed in spite of its adverse effect on the lives of the people. It shows our uncompromising respect for preposterous traditions which more than often claim the lives of innocent people. This prose promotes the meaningful cultures practiced in Africa while it kicks against unfair traditions. BLEEDING SCAR is a tragedy that narrates the ordeal of an innocent baby whose mother was violated and offered as an oblation to the gods. Adumaadan grew up knowing neither her father nor her mother. Her life was in total isolation until she met a generous king who married and offered her all the comfort of his kingdom. Unknown to her, the same man she had married coincidentally happened to be the man that violated her mother. Her life was thrown into total shambles at the realization that the man she had married was her father. Her entire life crumbled like a withered leaf. Her long healed wound invariably left a scar that would bleed forever.
