It is my Child (Conti)

(Photo Source: img15.deviantart.ne)

Sally's mother and father enter the room. They look at Gerald, they are shocked.
"Gerald?"
"Yes madam?"
"I am so...so..."
"It is alright madam."
"What happened my son?"
"I was leaving somewhere entering the main road and did not see the oncoming lorry. It hit me in the rear end, crushing my legs. I have just been told they had to amputate them."
"Sorry, so sorry about that. It would seem we came at a wrong time. Let us go Mama Sally."
"No please, we need to talk, sir."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes please have a seat."
Sally's father takes a seat while his wife stands, still shocked. She starts crying.
"Please madam, don't; let us thank God I am alive."
Sally's father goes to her, takes her into his arms and makes her sit.
"Relax dear, we need to know what is wrong with our children. Calm down Mama Sally."
She continues to sniffle and weep. Her husband offers her his handkerchief from his coat pocket and then he sits down next to her.
"Now my son, what is going on?"
"Well...I got information that my ex-girlfriend had my baby."
It was at this moment that Milly steps in, with her 'child'.
"Who are you young lady?"
"My name is Milly. I am Gerald's future wife."
Sally's mother comes back from her shock and looks at Milly.
"What did you just say?"
"My name is Milly and I am Gerald's future wife."
"Are you mad? Sally is Gerald's future wife. Who are you and which hole did you come from?"
Gerald interjects.
"She is the one I am talking about. The child she has is mine."
"So this is why Sally is laying in a bed hospital? How do you sleep at night you wicked girl?"
"Excuse me madam, I am not wicked. This guy impregnated me and then left me, how is that my fault."
"Do you know my daughter is here, fighting for her life, while you stand there and mock me?"
"Gerald, who is this woman insulting the mother of your child?"
"Excuse me young lady, that is my wife you are talking to." Interrupts Baba Sally.
"Oh, I am sorry. I came here to see my husband, not to argue with a bunch of old people."
"WHAT?!"
Gerald tries to come in between.
"Please let us stop all this arguing we are in a hospital, please."
"Eh, kijana this little mosquito just called me and my wife a bunch of old people. Do you know young lady I can squash you like the little bug you are?"
"Go ahead and try it, I am not scared."
Gerald calls the nurse using the button beside his bed.
"What is going on here?"
Milly, Sally's mom and dad are still arguing.
"Nurse please call someone to help please."
"OK. Just a minute."
The argument becomes heated. The couple decides to stand to confront the annoying little bug, the cause of their daughter's woes.
The doctor enters, accompanied by the security.
"What is going on here?"
"It is this little girl. She is very rude and uncivilized."
"It is this old couple who still think this is the 1960s when they fought for independence."
"Wait a minute. Milly?"
Milly freezes. She turns to look and finds it is Doctor Gatanga. What is he doing here? Didn't they have a deal? Of all the doctors in the world. She becomes very awkward and uncomfortable.
"Ah...ehm...yes?"
"What are you all doing here?"

They all turn to the voice at the door. It is Sally on a wheel chair, being pushed by one of the nurses.

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 ...
