A meeting at the cemetery

(Uptown Magazine Website)

“Listen, I WANT MY MONEY!!!”

“What do you mean you want your money?”

“Look, I went to check my account and your money has not arrived yet. You promised you would finish the transaction as soon as you got the document.”

“Yes I did. I sent you the money. Go and check it.”

“I have already checked it. I am even checking it on my phone right now. I cannot see any money deposited.”

“You are lying. I sent you the money to the account you gave to me. I don’t know what you are talking about. Look again.”

“You have got to be kidding me. I took a risk and stole that document from my boss and now I have no money in my account. We had a deal.”

“Yes we had a deal and I fulfilled my part, just as you did. Are you trying to get more money from me?”

“No. I am not trying to get more money from you. I want the money you owe me.”

“I don’t owe you money. I already sent what I owe you.”

“This is no longer funny. My colleagues and I are going to lose our jobs thanks to what I did. I wanted to be assured that I will live well after that. Now here you are lying to me that you sent me the money. If that’s the case I might just have to come clean.”

“Go ahead. You think you scare me. You are nothing but a pawn. I already have what I wanted. You have nothing that would link me to your crime.”

“Oh yes I do.”

“What?”

“I have been recording you on my phone. From the beginning of our conversation, until now. I have the records of the money you sent me earlier as well.”

(Silence).

“What do you want?”

“I want my money. That is all.”

“OK, OK. Meet me at the cemetery in one hour.”

“On my way.”

One hour later…

“Well, where is it?”

“Come to my car.”

“No. I don’t want to.”

“Are you scared that I will kill you?”

“Yes I am.”

“I am a man of my word.”

“If I had to blackmail you to get my money, then I don’t think you can use that as an excuse.”

“Touché.”

“So?”

“So what?”

“My money?”

“Oh yes. I will need the recordings you made.”

“I figured as much. However, I want to see my money first.”

“Of course. Take a look. It’s all there.”

“All right. The recordings are on my phone. I will place it down here. Place the money down as well, so that I know you won’t try anything.”

“OK.”

“What do you think you are doing?”

“What does it look like I am doing? I can’t have lose ends. I have come too far for to allow someone as insignificant as you to pull me down.”

“You shot me?”

“You don’t say?”

“Hahahaha.”

“The last thing you do is laugh? Is something funny?”

“Yes, because I made copies of the recordings and I instructed someone to send them to the police. He has been listening to us this whole time on my phone. Hehe …”

“YOU BASTARD!!!”
A car drives off at full speed from the cemetery.

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 ...
