I can't believe the dude turned to Jade but on a serious note,how did they get in.

collinometricx:
Na Edwin she go meet

That makes sense,let's see

Which kind suspense be this now.

Life with no caution and self-preservation,which is my idea of enjoying life,can only be applied when one knows with certainty,one is no longer mortal and have reached the peak of ones life achievements with nothing else to do,like me.

I felt that without someone to share this thrill with,the fun isn't complete,without that feeling of rebellion one feels when going against authorities,there is no fun.I begin to miss other humans,I begin to feel real loneliness coming from the knowledge that I am the only human left,that no one will ever chance upon me,that no one is out there,except me.I begin to wish everyone was back even my family members.

It came like a bright flash of light and I begin to see other humans as an aftereffect of the light.Then I begin to hear the ringing sound of my alarm clock,this time I woke up to the real world and not a dream world,like I have been in all this while.I went to my room's door and opened it,the sight I was greeted with seemed more unrealistic than my recent dream.I had to pinch myself,blink my eyes to be sure I wasn't asleep.

Two of my younger sisters were in front of me,with a wide grin plastered on their faces,they had on their heads,birthday hats,on which was printed in bold the words:Happy Birthday Robert.I try to remember the last time my family members had celebrated my birthday in this style,that was like twelve years ago.Their style all these years had been to prank me,like my birthday was April fool's day.

Both of them took my hands and led me along to the parlour,which had been designed with every birthday prop imaginable.I tried to think of what elaborate prank they have cooked up this time around as they sang the Happy Birthday song.Both of them led me to the table,on which was a beautiful round cake on which was lettered in icing the words:

COTILLION ROBERT @ 25
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY.

There were twenty-five candles circled round on the cake all lit.They stepped back from the table and gestured me to make a wish and blow out the candles.I made my wish that the human race never face extinction,more prosperity to the family and a happy birthday for myself,then blew out the candles.As I did this,the cake blew upon my face,and I knew instantly it was a prank.On a normal day,I would have gone back into my room but now I have made the decision to come out of my self-imposed seclusion.They are not getting away with this,it is time to speak to them in the only language they understood.As they laughed themselves away,I took the remains of the cake and plastered it on the face of the mastermind of the prank,the one who detonated the cake bomb,my elder brother.

As I did this,I saw the shock and surprise on their faces, as none of them ever thought this was going to happen,but their mien was soon replaced with a grin,and another round of laughter began.My brother not being able to take their laughter,took a cookie box and hurled it at me but I was lucky and had ducked as I saw his movements,my cousin on the other side of the table behind me was not so lucky,as the box met him full on the face and the rest they say is history.When the throwing and ducking had died down and everyone was sitting here or there weak with exhaustion,the parlour was a mess,but it was a happy and beautiful birthday for me.

THE END.
