"It was a bright day,the sun was
set already,the whole community
was dead of sunshine.I needed
water,so does my mum and
everyone at home.The thought
of its scarcity ran through my mind,going to the stream
isn't the best of ideas either
but surely the last resort,
'hmmm i was afraid the sun
could beat a Goliath at a strike
and thus its rays could bring Prof. Festus Iyayi back to
planet earth,shhh'.I made bold to
set out for Argungun
river,Northwest of the fortress
although with a pussilanimous
mind,each time i remember it as a den in the noon and a tourist
centre at night,hmm such an
irony its geography was. I got
to the steep of the river to
fetch but i couldnt get the
freshest of water,i kept moving,moving until i was at the
mercy of my CHI,the ocean current
was beseeching with great SPEED
turning it into a tidal wave,my
mind flipped through my
geography textbks to see if there was a way out but my
immediate concern was my
mum,who would help comfort
her?,my lil sister who craves to see me
always?,my friends who would
miss me in streetfootball matches?. Suddenly, i began to
fight for survival in the
voluminous acquatic sphere,i
couldnt breathe normally,it was
terrific,i held my beautiful bucket
close to my chest and prayed God to comfort my beloved
ones,it hurts,it hurts and
suddenly it hurts no more the
pain was gone,the agony was
gone,behold a new sphere" Thank you Lord i
said"
