WATERY BELLY

By Abel Patrick

He sat on the white coloured ceramic seat and pushed inwardly to force out what had lodged inside his belly for the past almost twenty four hours. This was not the first time he was doing that today, but he hoped it would be the last. And that with this present attendance to the rest room, he would exhaust completely whatever it was that had lodged in his belly with the intent to plague him today.

It all started early today's morning when he felt a strong urge to visit his toilet. Naturally, it was part of his routine to do so each morning, for it was also part of his morning cleaning activities- brushing his teeth, shaving his beards if need be, having his bath and also defecating- cleaning his bowels. A good way to prepare his belly for fresh foods for the day. But this urge to visit the rest room was different from the usual ones for it came with a violent force.

As he sat and let them all out, groaning a little in some cases even though the flow required no such effort on his part for his belly was nothing but practically watery, he remembered what he had for dinner late last night. A soaked garri to drink with kulikuli (groundnut cake, some would call it), after which he took lots of water melon and cucumber and after feeling full, he slept off. But while he slept, the 'enemies'(as he now referred to them) set to work to flood his belly and make it watery. Now, he had to face the consequences of his funny and horrible choice of food for dinner.
