How It Turned Out For Dave

Dave is a guy who loves football more than the average guy, he's exactly the opposite of 'thick and tall'. He celebrated his birthday a day before his success story began. Just as he slept on his birthnight(birthday's night) and woke into the next day, he found out that things had began to work out for his good. "You have gotten a scholarship to study in Canada" said Dave's dad who was waiting for his son's reply. Dave took in a deep breath and gave himself a 5seconds countdown as he jumped off the bed, he jumped in such a way that he could have gotten his head cut by the ceiling fan. He was so happy that he screamed to the loudest of his voice even when he wasn't sure of dad's statement. It all ended when he got tired (just like an Igbo proverb interprets "it takes energy to be mad"). His loving mom prepared the family's favourite meal as she also invited family friends to join in the celebration. This (I guess) was the best day of Dave's life as he had never left his state before. Everything was sponsored by the school which gave him the opportunity; all he needed to do was to get ready in 2 weeks time. It was exactly a week and 6 days later when the lightening of bad luck struck him on the road; he had an accident. He was unconscious for approximately 3 days, though in a state of coma, he knew he had missed his flight and scholarship opportunity.
After several months, he was discharged  in a sad condition; he needed an artificial source to help himself stand and move (crushes, artificial leg, wheelchair, etc), his left leg was shattered. Starring at poor Dave and looking into his dead hope, his father said " I'm honestly sorry son, I would never believe it could turn out this way" kissed him on his forehead and embraced him.

Emotional Scar

Christopher and Emily Christopher is a tourer whose feet doesn't spend up to 24hours in one spot. On the other hand is Emily who is a cook at a beach in Oslo. It all started one late evening when Emily went to serve Christopher(an acquaintance) some fried chicken which he ordered for. Just immediately she served him a plate filled with fried chicken, Christopher stared at her with his right hand on his jaw. Emily didn't see him as she was focused on her job; she had to serve everyone who made an order. Later that evening, he approached her while she was locking up the store. Christopher: Hello beautiful, I'm Christopher. Hope you don't mind if I ask you name.  Emily: Ummh.... I...... I am..... I am locking the store Christopher: That's obvious but I'm asking for your name. (Emily started feeling nervous about falling into a flirty conversation and decided to end the conversation.) Emily: I'm Emily, and I have to go (racing to her tent). Christoph

With her eyes swollen, her nose bleeding and in a slow motion, she fell on the floor. Martha had already been warned not to indulge in any sort of fighting or struggling, but she won't listen. This time, she lost her temper and decided to fight a fellow who used a vulgar language on her. Finally for the day, an ambulance came quickly to take her straight for treatment. Martha is a 21 year old lady who gets angry at even the slightest bit of a mistake made, she lives with her boyfriend who later became an ex on 14th February 2018.

Death Lived Next Door

Death All my life, I never believed it could happen till it happened. Death is the nickname of a man who was basically our next-door neighbor, he is 7 feet tall and has a bald head. I was barely 16 when I almost got killed by Death, he haunted me for months and the whole story ended up this way: I woke up one morning just to find out that I was in his house, and was tied to a pillar in his house. The question in my mind was "how did I get here?" but before I could ask myself, he spoke "you're quite a kid you know...... I like you but there's a problem about you which I'm taking personal", I could barely breath at this moment because my heart was pumping as if it were a water pump. With a knife in his hand he asked me " what do you think I'm going to do to you?", I answered with a shaky voice "I think you're going to kill me" (though he didn't hear my answer because I spoke in my mind). He put his knife across my neck
