"Wait a minute, Milly is that you?" Sally noticed her trying to hide her face.

"Ahhh...kumbe it is you Milly. I was not wrong. How is the baby doing?"

""The baby is doing fine Dr. Gatanga."

"Good, that is good to hear. When are you going to bring your husband to finalize the adoption?"

"Wait a minute, doctor did you just say adoption?" Gerald becomes completely shocked. "What adoption are you talking about? Is that not my child?"

"Ahh, so you must be Gerald. My name is Dr. Gatanga. Unfortunately your child died, and Milly here came to us to adopt a child of similar age to her first one." Outwardly surprised. "Milly had told me the both of you had talked about it and that you were ready for adoption."

"Milly what is this doctor talking about?"

The room fell silent as everybody turned to Milly.

"Well...I...." She breathed heavily and turned to face Gerald. "Our baby died about a week ago after you had taken the DNA test. I felt horrible because the baby was the reason you came back to me. Doctor Gatanga was the one who has been helping me finalize the adoption process of this baby. I was hoping to tell you...once we got married."

"Wait...what? What do you mean? I left Sally to come to a fake baby? Are you OK in your head?"

The nurse at Gerald's bedside is still screaming at him to cool down. She orders everyone to get out. The last thing Gerald hears as he is put to sleep by the nurse is Sally saying

"I am pregnant. It is your child"

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
