"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"

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 ...
