"Sally? Sally? Sally wake up."

"What is it Gerald?"

"It is time we started leaving. The park is closing."

Gerald and Sally were on a nature trail. They had decided to visit the park on their second date.

"Sally, you awake?" Gerald tries tickling her. She wakes up laughing.

"Yes, yes I am awake. Aki wewe. Let me just pick up my things we leave?"

"Things, what things? You only came in with your purse. (Sarcastically) Are you alright?"

"Yes I am. I just wanted to waste some time here."

"The park will close and you want to spend the night here?" Gerald looks at her as if he is shocked.

"Why not?"

He spells it out for her. "W-I-L-D A-N-I-M-A-L-S! Or we may be mistaken as poachers! Duh!"

"OK. OK."

They both stand up holding hands and start walking to the gate.

"I had fun by the way. I am not really a nature person, but it was good to see some animals, get some fresh air and get time to know you better."

"Any time my Lady." Gerald takes a courteous bow. He stands up and they continue walking. "I had fun as well. Next time we will go to Olepolos and eat some serious Nyama Choma."

"Sounds like a deal."

It all fades to black. Sally starts hearing the sound of an ambulance wailing. She tries to nudge herself awake.

"She is coming around. Miss? Miss can you hear me?"

She mumbles a weak 'Yes'. "What happened?" She struggles rubbing her face and trying to wake up. The pediatrician pushes her back on the stretcher.

"You fainted. Your neighbors found you on the floor and called us. We are going to hospital right now. You just had a shock, so try to relax, everything will be fine."

She lies back and blacks out again.

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to

The Most Amazing Story Never Written

(Made on Canva) Alright. We need to write a short film and shoot it by the end of the month. Ok. What story are we telling? What stories excite the masses? I am not too sure. I think drama has been overwritten. Action? You think we can pull it off? We are going to need a budget for that. Not to mention we are going to need a trainer, an action director, a stunt manager, a doctor, practice the stunts, different days for shooting, a good director of photography and fit actors? Hahaha. Why do you think we would need fit actors? You trying to say we can’t find any? From the people we have. I highly doubt it. What would our actors be fighting against? Aliens? They never come to take over the world here. Zombies, our actors would run and leave us alone on the set. Moreover, we couldn’t get it approved. We don’t fight wars and we never have had heroes we can write about. How about we check online? All I found were stories about aliens, zombies and things that would never happen this side of t

Why an antagonist is important to a story

(Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business becau
