It is my child (Conti)

(Picture source: imgc.allpostersimages.com)

"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.

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...
