Anita was at Mwanaidi’s home. Mwanaidi was her childhood friend and they shared their secrets and life stories together.

“Mwanaidi I think mom hates my fiancé.”

“Why would you say that?”

“She told me to cancel things off with him.”

“She is still hurt from the great war. She lost someone really dear to her.”

“I know that. She was not the only one, but why can’t she move on?”

“I am not sure about that. Maybe if she gets to know him, she might change?”

“Maybe. I will try to make her change. I love him so much.”

“Yes, I know you do. You have been talking about him ever since you met him by the river.”

“Of course. I thought I was dreaming when I saw his beautifully shaped body and his appetizing smile. I drooled and got lost in his handsomeness to a point I did not realize he was right beside me. When he talked I almost fainted, but he caught me in his huge soft arms. When he spoke, I felt my heart beating. When he asked we meet again, I thought he was lying. When I saw him again and again, I kept falling in love over and over again.”

“That is nice. You are still drooling over and over again. Hahaha”

“Ha, very funny. So how is your boyfriend?”

“He is…”

As Mwanaidi was speaking there was a large scream.

“What was that? It came from the middle of the village.”

With that the two ladies ran towards the noise.

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...

Blame the media?

(All photos courtesy of google.co.ke) Ever since 2013, the world has been taking a spiral downfall to an abyss of where children as young as 12 to 13 years of age are drinking alcohol, men are becoming useless and full time drinkers of alcohol, girls are growing up wanting to be socialites, racism is still prevalent, terrorism, social media vices, and general pollution of morals and values. This is according to my opinion and experiences. To me, this generation is lost and we need a revolution to wake us up. In my home country looks to me as the worst hit. We are all fighting illegal and second generation alcohol, and yet on Monday night clubs are open in Nairobi and people are drinking till the next Monday. Promotions and events are being held by alcoholic making companies and nobody is asking how they affect us. An event was cancelled because there was no alcoholic drink. I believe if we were to look at the budgets of people, almost 60 percent is going to alcohol, which ...
