EPISODE ONE

Chuks shot out of bed with the speed of lightening and ran into the bathroom which doubled as the restroom. The time is 8:30am and today is supposed to be his first day at his new office. 15minutes later he was already rushing out of the house after getting ready.

Chuks is a strikingly handsome first class graduate of electrical and electronics engineering from the University of ibadan. For five years after leaving school he was unable to secure a good job. He survived by doing menial jobs while sending cover letters upon cover letters to several firms. It seems fortune smiled on him when he received a mail from Lincoln incorporation, a shipping company with more than 200 branches all over Nigeria and outside Nigeria. stating that he finally secured the position of the technical head at the Ibadan branch at ringroad. Chuks had stayed up late till about 1:00am celebrating his new job With his friends, hence his waking up so late this morning.

Chuks was already sweating profusely inside the fully Air conditioned safeboda cab he had chartered so as to arrive at work in good time. It seems nature has other plans for chuks, the massive gridlock he met at sango has refused to move for over 20minutes, he adjusted his tie an checked his Rolex wristwatch "fvck sh*t, 9:30am" he cussed loudly and stared at the long stretch of vehicles in front .

On getting to mokola roundabout, another driver veered off it's lane bashing the side mirror of chuks cab in the process. The driver who had no intention of letting such offence off easily ignored chuks impatient sighs and parked his car in a vertical position to prevent any movement in that lane and came down with anger hot enough to melt down Mount Kilimanjaro and charged at the offending driver. Chuks quietly came down, took a bike and went to his destination..

She walked down lonely road that led to the ghetto that housed the shack she called home, this is the norm everyday. After the close of work by 6pm, she stays an extra four hours to take stock and balance the ledgers.

The soft firm breasts pressing on her back, implying that her assailant was a female. She swiftly uses the ball of her feet on the sheen of her attacker while following up with an elbow to the stomach. The attacker's grip loosens, giving her the opportunity of turning and headbutting her assailant, " who are you?" She asks, " stay away from Ekene" the lady replies while writhing on the tarred road.
