The Unfinished Story


He stood on the rocks waiting. The water flowed smoothly and he could make out shadows of fish looking for a meal or swimming against the current.
Thoughts raced his mind like a bugatti at 407 miles per hour. He was scared that their plan might have backfired.
"Was he caught? What about the money? Did he sell me out?"
Tension built between him running to save his skin or waiting for him to arrive.
Suddenly he heard the bush behind him move. He was startled and he cocked his gun ready to fire. He tried to breathe slowly because he knew if he was uneasy it would be hard to aim.
A beautiful lady emerged with a pot singing to herself. He hid his gun and said halo
"Haloo"
"Halo, what are you doing by the stream alone?"
"Just thinking. Being a man requires one to meditate on how to move on in life. I am sorry if I scared you"
"Not at all. I have never seen you before? Are you from around here?"
"No. I have just come here to clear my mind."
"Well you better be careful. I have heard on the radio some thugs stole money in the near bank and are hiding......"
She froze. He could see she was shivering.
"I see you made a new friend"
He turned to see Rocky pointing his pistol at the lady. He tried to smile but failed miserably.
"Rocky relax, she is just a local girl trying to fetch water. She means us no harm."
"Really? You already love her? Well am sorry, but in our line of work one does not get friendly. She might report us."
"No please. I just came to fetch water. Please let me go. I promise to stay quiet"
"Am sorry, you have already seen us, you have no leverage for us to cut you loose. Please have a seat while my business  partner and I have a meeting. Please don't try to escape and I will give you candy."
She hesitantly sat shivering in the blazing heat of afternoon sun. Rocky sat close to her, gun to her head, finger on the trigger.

It's nothing new

(Bully Fanon website) It is quite a shame that Alliance has to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Usually they are in it, shouting and praising the form fours who had left the previous year for the ‘ A ’ s they brought to the school. To some it is a new phenomenon that students are beating students, but to me it is not. I went to a so called ‘ bush ’ high school. It is however famous in the part of the county it hails from. Here, beating of students by fellow students was a common thing during my time. It was almost routine. To make it worse, once you were beaten by the prefects they took you to the teachers who also beat you. Of course they were not using sticks only to beat their fellow students, but anything they found. Those who were forwarded to the teachers were usually those who had resisted the beating. The teachers also found out that sticks were ineffective and felt the need to use their fists to correct the errors of the student. I am not writing th...

I LOVE DUBSTEP!!!

(NB: ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF GOOGLE & VIDEOS FROM YOU TUBE) The truth is I do not know why I love dubstep.  Whenever I listen to a dubstep song I want to stand up and dance. I was introduced to dubstep by a friend called Kibui. He came up to me and asked me to listen to UKF (A Dubstep recording group). It was 'love at first sound'. I could not get the song out of my head and from then on I became a huge dubstep fan. I have been listening to dubstep ever since the beginning of 2012 and I have been able to collect and listen more than 1000 dubstep songs. I created a specific folder for them. My favorite dubstep song is Crave you by Flight Facilities (Adventure's club remix). The reason I love it is because of its beats and it always uplifts me whenever am having a bad day or the lecturer has given me a tough assignment and it’s due the next day. I know some of you are wondering what is dubstep? Well I will give you the definition and a brief history. Ac...

In search of humanity

(Ask Ideas website) The world, to me, has become a depressing world. It would seem we have lost our humanity. I know I have circled around this topic, but to me it is important to repeat it as much as possible. The reason I am writing this is because there are people who feel they have no meaning in this life. I went out for coffee with a good friend of mine, a brother, when we left we met a street child rummaging through a dustbin in the cold Nairobi streets. I felt sorry for the boy and decided to assist him with some of my coins. I tapped on his back and he almost jumped. He started running and I called him back and gave him the coins. We were shocked at his reaction. We tried to guess why he ran. He must have thought it was the police who wanted to hit him for ‘being on the streets’; a shop owner angry that he is going through the trash can with a possibility of dropping the trash on the shop door; he must have thought it was the county askaris wanting to beat him for...
