"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."

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
