****STORY SIDE OF THE EPILEPTIC****
Would I say life is more of a shame to me than fun?,people keep talking about how you fell to the ground and how white Substance came out of your mouth,they will blame you as if it was your fault,you can't imagine how hard it is to fall into that situation and be in it for minutes,each time i am about to have the shock everything becomes dark,then my entire body freezes,then i start shaking uncontrollable and I fall to the ground,and when the shock Is over I all way find myself on the floor looking around and kinda lost in a way,sometimes I won't even know that it was the shock that pulled me to the ground until I see the reaction on people's face
sometimes when I fall in public I just remain laying down on the ground (whether the weather is hot or cold) even though I have fully recovered from the shock, I do it because i feel too ashamed to stand up and face people that are around,but sometimes people help me up after i fall,each passing day I always fear of falling to the ground and facing the world with my sickness.i just want to be always locked indoors,the outdoors are more like a prison to me.my only place of rest are indoors,where I can stay and feel nothing.
many would say I am a cured human being due to my sickness,life is not what it feels like to other, to me.if only my mum didn't run and leave me because of my sickness. if only I had a real mother who could help me when I need her the most I won't suffer like I am right now.if only I could see someone to talk to,someone who could understand me and my pains,someone who could look me and my situation and say to me you are the best.if only I didn't have this curse called sickness I would have so many friends.if only people did not reject me(especially girls) because of my illness, life won't be so hard for me..........
(WRITER TALKING) "He sat on the sofa with a face of a man with the world's largest problem.the tv was on but he was not paying attention to it,the tv looks more like a wall that projects inner mind thinking(meaning he saw nothing but his thoughts).still in his thoughts he remember his past again"......
oh!,I remember my old friend Tom,he is the only one that has ever stood by me each time I fall and he always helps me up to my feet and cleans me up.he is more than a friend to me,he is my brother.it has been long since I last saw him.i so much miss him from my heart.he is the only one I can share my pains with.there is no other human like him in my hard life.............................................TO BE CONTINUE.......story by DINDY.....WhatsApp number:07087750433....facebook name:ossy nnamdi

THE slowpoke AND THE EPILEPTIC.EPISODE 2


****STORY SIDE OF THE slowpoke****
(expressing his inner pain within, to himself, while he stood outside placing his curved left hand on the fence which demarcated his father's house and his neighbor's house) words are hard on my mouth to speak out,look at how my life is,for me to enter public transport is a problem,every one sees me as a useless unfortunate person.my age mate are now in higher institutions,some now have families,some now own cars, but look at my life.each time I go out to go and play or have fun,kids run away from me,even my age mate treat me like I'm some useless cloth.i have tried and tried and tried to make friends with people but no one here likes me,not even my own brothers.they don't even like seeing me around them,they treat me like a dog,like an animal that should live in a place of total filth and disgust.maybe if my mum was around now all this won't be as it is now.each time I try to buy something,the person that will attend to me will always ask me to wait out side the shop,sometimes I feel so bad that I leave the place to go back home and cry.there are times I sit down and look around to know why I was born this way.most times, what keeps running through my brain,soul,spirit and mind, are hurtful words of what people said to me which clipped on hold to my deepest soul and emotions.no one respects my voice,the first and the last time i attended our street meeting,I was abuse by everyone,even the kids around were laughing at me because saliva dropped from my mouth,which i kept on trying to clean off but the more I did it the more it came out.
To me everyday is a disgrace,but I have to carry on with life no matter what.!ah I still remember my old friend Raman.he is the only true brother and friend i have,he keeps me company anytime he is around,he helped me when I needed his help.he was the only person that ever showed me so much love after my mum's death,he was the first person to ever buy me a hanky,something no one has ever done for me.i really miss the way he talks and acts,it has been up to 10 year since I last saw him,I am sure he must have grown up into a rich young man because his dad has alot of companies around.i just wish to meet him one more time.
I don't even know where I could find him,he might have changed so much that I won't recognize him,after years of not talking to him and seeing him.he was a boy that truly knows how to talk to me properly, more than my own dad.Raman said he saw me as his twin because we shared the same pain and rejection in life.well i guess life was meant to be like this for me,I guess I was made to live a lonely life.
I just wonder how my life would have been like if i had money,I am sure that people will want to be my friend, and stella won't had slapped me, like she did yesterday evening when I tried to hug her,but I like the way she slapped me,I enjoyed every moment of the slap,I even went to bed yesterday's night rubbing my right cheek with my right hand, and the feeling of her hand print on my right cheeks was so so much awesome when I felt it,but her hand is really soft.I think its time for me to do other things.
(WRITER TALKING)he got tired of thinking so much and he decided to goto the kitchen to check whether they had remain food for him,but deep down inside him he knew that his brothers were not going to leave even 0.005 kg of food in the pot for him...........................TO BE CONTINUE.....story by DINDY.....WhatsApp number:07087750433....facebook name:ossy nnamdi
