Are You Relaxing?

Akpos was enjoying the sun at the beach in Lekki when a lady came and asked him, "Are you relaxing?"Akpos replied, "No, I am Akpos."A man came and asked him the same question.Akpos replied, "No! No!... I'm Akpos!"Later on a little girl came and asked him same question again. Akpos became angry and decided to move away. While walking, he saw a guy sunbathing. He went up to him and asked, "Are you Relaxing?" The guy replied, "Yes, I am relaxing."Akpos hit him real hard on the face and screamed, "Where have you been?! Everybody has been asking of you?!"What do you think will happen to Akpos?

My favourite transition word when writing is "however"

I can't write without using it either.
When I want to add some flavor to my writing, I will use "More often than not" against "usually," "without mincing words," "beyond a shadow of doubt," etc.
I use idiomatic/figurative expression and phrasal verbs to kill my readers. grin
