It is my child (Conti)

"You are lucky, very lucky Gerald. I don't know how many people would have survived such a crash and live to talk about it."
"Asante sana daktari. I have been thanking God since I woke up."
Gerald had left Milly's house and stood outside for about five minutes. He heard Milly calling her girlfriend and then decided to leave.
"Kuwa na usiku njema boss" imploded the guard as Gerald passed to go on to the main road. However he was so deep in his thoughts he did not hear the horn. He didn't hear the shouts to stop. He didn't hear anything. He only realized he had been in an accident because of the wailing of the sirens. The same sirens that had brought Sally to the same hospital.
He laid in his bed and continued in his thoughts. It was at this time his phone rang. Sally's mom.
"Hallo?"
"Where are you Gerald?"
"I am in hospital madam."
"You are in hospital? What happened to you?"
"I was involved in an accident."
"Sorry to hear about that. Sally is in hospital as well."
"WHAT?! Sally is hospital as well? What happened to her?"
"She was found passed out on the floor by her neighbors. They say they had heard you guys shouting before the incident and I wanted to ask you what had happened."
Gerald paused. He was shocked. His heartbeat rose a bit making the nurse rush in and ask him to calm down.
"Which room are you in?"
"105"
"Sally is in 103. We are coming to see you."
"We?"
"Her dad and I."
"OK."
"Calm down Gerald. You do not need a high blood pressure at this time. You need to relax."
"I will try nurse. Can I please ask how long was I passed out?
"15 hours and forty five minutes. We had to do a major operation."

"So that is what happened to my legs. I was wondering why I could not feel them."

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 b...

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...
