Sammy Hoe: After a long while, Hope was still halfway in the long river. Just about that time he decided to turn back his face to see how much distance he had covered by using Doubt’s spot as a reference point. As he gazed backward, he saw Doubt waving at him from the top of a hill, yet it was the exact low-lying spot Hope had left him. Still in the wonderment of the sight, Hope began to hear Doubt clearly now, screaming, “Hopelessness! There’s a shark!” In fret, Hope turned around again but was amazed at the fast rolling storms and whooshing waves directed towards him. For the fear of the fierce whirlpool chasing him, he almost fainted in the river. Just then, he saw sharks in the approaching storms and blue whales hiding in the waves of the river turned ocean dramatically. As he swam back hastily, he began to perceive the odour of his own sweat that had begun to pour out of their pores profusely. Hope found a whale lurking ahead and a shark closing on him from behind. He found it hopeless to keep swimming, and in a matter of second, he found himself halfway in the mouths of a shark and a whale.
“Help!” Hope screamed out of his sleep, scaring Standaloof out of life, since she was the one who had just pulled the Blanket of Restriction off his body, thus terminating the dream. From the corner of the room came Limitation’s voice in anger as she ululated, “Vulne! Why did you leave Standaloof close to Hope?”
“I—I was scared of her cry when I wanted to—to take her away from there earlier,” lamented Vulnerability. “So—I left her alone.”
“Have you seen what you’ve caused?” Limitation was annoyed still. “You’ve allowed her to terminate Hope’s dream by letting her pull off the blanket from his body.”
“I—I’m sorry,” Vulnerability begged with eyes clogged with tears but Limitation ignored him and approached Hope who was weeping and whispering to himself at a corner.
“Ta, ta!”Standaloof was dancing on a spot.
“Father Sage is a liar! Father Sage is a liar!” sobbed Hope passionately and his mother heard him.
“Hope, what is the matter?” she asked and Hope replied, “I—I have a terrible nightmare!”
“Nightmare?” Limitation was puzzled. With utmost seriousness, she said, “You can’t have nightmares in the day. It’s not just possible! This is only noon, not night.”
“But Father Sage said one could daydream at night,” Hope replied.
“Father Sage is a liar,” Limitation spoke angrily. “Daydreams are limited to daytimes alone and nightmares to nights. So—Hope, what you had was a terrible daydream, not nightmare,” she admonished. “Can you share your daydream with me, little Hope?” As Hope shared the nightmare, he sobbed and asked for his mum’s forgiveness, then he renounced his faith in the Sage as he said, “I now believe all the quotes of uncle Doubt and disbelief all the doctrines of Father Sage and the teachings in the Knowledge School of Thought.”
Limitation was excited. She said, “Good of you my son!” She then gave him a tight hug. “Someday, we shall ask Mr. Nonsense to rechristen you Hopelessness.”
“No need for that, mum, because I have seen my hopeless state in the dream myself. While in the mouths of those two fishes, I silently rechristened myself HOPELESSNESS.”
D mind is the gateway to our life, we must not give people a chance to create a negative impact in our life...

Mr. Doubt cleared his throat and began.
“Mr. Med, why should you cook up stories about what will happen to Hope in the Island when you know such island doesn’t exist at all? Then you opened room for Hope to open his mouth to open fresh talk on a never-living mister called Creator and on a never-dying man called Sage. I doubt if this evil Sage could die at all, having lived more than a century on this earth.” Hope smiled and said, “If Father Sage could be immortal, uncle, why should you then think his Creator had died long ago?”
“Keep quiet Hope!” Doubt shunned. “I’ve not given room for you to talk.”
“But here’s my room, not yours!” Hope yelled but his uncle laughed loudly.
“Once I, Doubt, have stepped my toes into any room, it takes only Giant Faith to cast me out. The worst you can do is to leave your room for me, else, you risk leaving me in the room of your heart.”
“I can’t leave my room for you!”
“You may not. All I desire is to share it with you. Hope, I’m all you need. You can’t do without me. In fact, no man can do without Doubt.”
“Father Sage does lives without you. In fact, you’re the most disgusting thing to him.”
“You’re right, Hope,” Doubt spoke. “That old man is lucky that he has gotten Giant Faith as a guard, else, I’d be sharing his room with him by now in a cordial relationship, especially now that he’s very old. Anyway, I’ve begun to consider the thought of making myself into a giant too so that I can face Giant Faith.”
“But how possible, in-law?”
“By spending the rest of my life in the Castration castle.”
“Hmm! That’s a good idea,” remarked Limitation. “So, why can’t you do that right away?”
Mr. Doubt descended into a silence of soberness as his face turned moody, getting Limitation worried. She demanded apology for her statement in haste but Doubt replied sombrely, “You’ve done nothing wrong, Lim. I should have become a eunuch a long time before now, but the consequence attached to it is what I feared greatly.” The couple demanded to know the consequence and Doubt answered, “If I surrender my manhood, then I shall be rendered impotent, meaning that I won’t be able to father a child.”
“Did you say father a child?” asked Limitation in amazement. “Don’t you have Idleness to father already?” Doubt shook his head in genuine sorrow and said, “Idleness looks far from a son to me, having made me to doubt my own self. In fact, he has made me doubt if the council would approve the Doubt School of Thought I’ve been worrying my head to establish.”
“What do you mean?” Limitation asked quickly.
“Have you forgotten how Idleness my son damaged the image of my prestige by rap*ing Virtue to death? Till today, Mr. Deaf-Ears, the chairman of the Council of the Schools of Thought in this town kept turning deaf ears to the fact that Idleness’ immoral act of rap*ng the opposite gender was engendered by his idle thoughts while folding his arms doing nothing in the Do-nothing School of Thought he was attending those days. Rather, he believes that his evil manifestation was the product of the thought I inculcated in him as a father.” Doubt paused briefly to cough. He continued, “So I’m left with the thought that my school of thought shan’t get an approval from him because he would surely be of the thought that my students shall only be taught how to become rapists. Because of these, I look forward to having another child, a good one, before becoming a eunuch in the Castration castle.”
“But you don’t have a wife anymore. How do you expect to have a baby?” Limitation spoke, leaving Doubt in a pensive mood. The man soon broke the silence as he said, “Maybe I’ll have to lure Double-mindedness back, my sweetheart who divorced me to live in the Unstable stable due to the shame brought upon us by Idleness. I doubt if Double-mindedness would prefer to continue living an unstable life in the stable for the rest of her life.”
The house went dead in silence once more.

Hope, what did you see?”
“Everything,” Hope replied with a smile.
“Everything?” the priest yelled.
“Of course!” he replied. “I can see the roof of my
house, your cottage, Dungalow bungalow, Castration
castle, Flirts’ flats, Hurt huts, Unstable stable, Innocency inn—all homes in Average street and
Happy-Go-Lucky.”
“Good!” the Sage yelled gladly.
“I can also see the Valley of Failure, Avenue of Self-
pity, forests, rivers, lakes, mountains, seas, oceans,
islands, springs, hills and many other features I know nothing about.”
“Good, little Hope, can you descend the rock now?”
“Wow!” Hope screamed joyfully, taking no heed to
the words of the Sage.
“Come down, Hope!” the Sage screamed and Hope
heard him now. In few minutes, Hope was with the Sage again.
“So—I guess you’ve seen the reason why Father
Creator stays above us,” the Sage said.
“Of course, yes!” Hope replied. “He sees things
vividly from above—things we never can see as long
as we remain below.”

Sammy Hoe: Hope kept reciting the quotes, and before he could realize how far he had gone, he was already before the door of Father Sage’s cottage. He made his hand into a fist as he got set to knock the door, but a creepy feeling crept around his veins.
“The Sage is old and frail,” whispered Hope. “And it will be inhumane of me to knock him out of his sleep with my knocks at the dead of a night as this.” “Anyhow, I’ll knock this door anyway,” he said, and for the second time he refrained. Then doubt began to set in.
“I don’t even think the Sage is here,” he said. “He must be keeping vigil in his temple, I’m sure.” He turned to leave for the temple, but another feeling turned him back to face the door.
“I’ve come this far,” he said. “So, I’ll knock.” At a single knock on the door, it gave way rapidly and a voice uttered, “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Anyone who knocks, the door shall be opened to him. My door is called the Door of Opportunity. Hope, you’re opportune to be here tonight.”
“Father Sage!” Hope screamed delightfully. “Were you expecting me?”
“Not really. I was only bothered about you, so I couldn’t sleep. I heard your whispers in front of my door, so I came close, expecting you to knock so that I can open immediately, because I don’t open my door without a knock on it.”
“But how come? How come you could hear my silent whispers?”
The old man snapped his fingers and replied, “How many times will I say this, be swift to hear, be slow to speak—”
“That’s true!” Hope spoke up as the man led him to a seat.
“Hope, I’m aging, and so my memory is damaging. That’s why I almost damaged Dwarf Faith’s life today.”
“How? But the dwarf defeated the hurters easily!”
“Not at the first attempt my boy. They struck him down with many darts, but he escaped by miracle, all because of my mistake—I didn’t equip him with the Shield of Faith. You weren’t present then, Hope.”
“Oh! That should be while I was kept in the Pit of Pit Vipers!”
“That pit!” the old man exclaimed in awe. “Were you not hurt by the vipers?”
“They were caged,” revealed Hope. “Each time Mr. Oppressor had wanted to release them to torment me, something would happen and it won’t just happen.”
“That was because I was praying for you in my temple that you’ll not fall prey of the pit vipers.” The man smiled. “All thanks to Father Creator.” The man read the reaction on Hope’s face when he mentioned ‘Father Creator’ so he asked, “Hope, hope nothing is wrong.”
“Nothing—j-just that I’m a bit c—confused,” the boy replied timidly.
“What’s confusing you, Hope? Tell me, what?”
“I—I don’t understand some things, but—but I don’t want y—you to get offended if I ask you. That’s why I’m afraid of asking now.”
Father Sage smiled and held Hope tight. “Say on.”
“And you’ll give me the answers?”
“Of course yes!” the man replied. “But only if they are not the questions of Mr. Nonsense; I mean the type of questions asked in the Fools’ School of Thought. Ask, and the answers shall be given unto you...”
“I don’t know if it would sound foolish,” Hope said with wrinkles on his face, and then the priest replied, “Just ask—”
“Thank you priest,” Hope said with respect. “Thanks for sending Faith to rescue me from the—”
“Is that supposed to be a question?” Father Sage was amazed.
“No, Father, I can’t ask anything until I’ve thanked you.”
“So do I. I can’t ask anything from Father Creator until I’ve thanked him.”
“And he’s the exact person I’ve got questions to ask you about.”
“Go on—ASK!” the priest was delighted, since such questions were the best he’d loved to answer.
“Does Father Creator really exist?”
