Very thought provoking. There are a number of questions I would like answered, though.

Does 'the man' have to have 'big doe-like eyes?, men do not have 'doe-like eyes', especially not a demented and tormented one like 'the man'.
Why does the character begin his ranting to his dead wife in pidgin English, then complete the rest in correct English? One usually expresses such deep hearfelt expressions in his/ her most comfortable language, like the one used in communication with a supreme being during personal prayers. 

Also, is there any reason why the author includes, ...(yes, people, thats the name of the machine) in the passage? does he not know that it dilutes the sense of foreboding the pervades the passage? or does he not know that he has the poetic license to create and name any tool for his character.
Maybe its because he doesn't believe himself that Nigerian undertakers have any form of machines, not to mention one that keeps dead people everlastingly young.

I like the twist in plot, but please remember that readers not only enjoy the twists and turns in plot formation, they chew on and savour every word, every phrase, every image...

I think Eghosa should be both realistic and consistent in his delivery.

In all, I thought it was very captivating. Well done Eghosa<br/><br/>
