For a while now I have been having this constant chest pain, but I couldn’t see a doctor because I am attending a Writer’s residency. Anyway even if I wasn’t attending the residency, it’s not just in me to visit doctors, I hardly believe in them! But with this cough and because I am with another resident it became necessary that I visit the doctor provided by the Residency.



After conducting various tests, the doctor came up with a shocking revelation. He didn’t want to communicate this to me by himself; he felt the shock may not be good enough for me. I could see from his expression that whatever it was wasn’t good! I embraced myself, and decided to accept whatever it turned out to be as my fate.

The shocking news is that I am having just seventy two hours to live on this earth. Three days to live! Three days of existence, I thought of all my dreams, all the dreams of several years, all I could say is how, why, what did I do wrong, and so many other questions went through my head.

“Young man” The doctor said, and I looked up at him, he tried smiling to me, but he could not. I have always heard that doctors are never emotional on matters like this, but this man was emotional. Am sure he was thinking about my age.

“Am happy you came here”. He said and I thought maybe there was still hope after all, but he has something different in mind.
