As i made my way thru d darkened streets, i brushed at the overzealous mosquitoes that were hell bent on feasting on my already over worked skinny legs. "What do they want with skinny legs anyway?" i grumbled to my self. I had to get home fast, papa would be waiting.
Just then i heard a small noise behind me.
I was scared to look back, certainly i knew i was the only one on the lonely street. i strained my ears to hear the sound clearly. It sounded like footsteps. i picked up my speed almost running. no one was going to snatch the 20 naira i had worked all day for, not even a menacing thief! i began to run, the footstep was getting closer.
i picked up speed and ran. Why did God make nights so dark?
Just then i made out a building with lights beaming out from it. i ran towards it, praying hard as the footsteps behind me got nearer and nearer. Afraid to look back, i ponded at the door of the lonesome house, the door flew open, revealing a rake thin manwearing dirty agbada. he looked at me with kind eyes and smiled. i smiled back, uncertain of what else to do. Then his grin grew wider and my blood ran cold as i glimpsed bloodstained teeth flashing at me and heard the words that came out of the gnarled old lips.
"welcome. we ve been expecting u" I felt myself crumbling as a hand roughly shook me. i opened my eyes scared to even see the face of the person that shook me awake.
It was however papa's face looking at me with concern.
"wake up omoh" He said "You will be late for work" i quickly looked at the clock on my bed side and sighed with great relief. It was just a dream.
The day had not even started yet.
