"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.

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 ...

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...

Thank You

You know it is always very easy to take things for granted because we never know what we have until it’s gone. That must be one of the most cliché lines you will ever read. However, it is very important in this context. The main reason being, I want to say thank you. My life has not be relatively easy. I have gone through a lot of problems and I have the worst reactions to different situations. However, no matter how tough the challenge, in some way I have always come out of it, learned and moved forward. It is hard to explain, but I know it is because of people praying and wishing me well. People have told me that I am going to be great one day, and because of their support and love, I keep building myself with time. If you have followed my story, you will find that I have grown, thanks to the people I have met and interacted with. An example is high school. I used to fail my exams. My first term I was in the bottom 10. It was rough for me and it seemed like I was going ...
