The Journey Of Life

What was going through my mind as I was tricking was where I would see a sign posted with the words "workers needed." I looked all over the street but couldn't find any, so I went to a nearby shop to rest, despite the fact that I was very hungry; all that was left in my stomach was the garri that I had eaten with watering soup in the morning. I was pondering and imagining my fate for the week. The worst part is that my house rent is about to expire, and there is no way for me to pay off the debt; what a tragedy, I said. I was sleepy because I didn't sleep well the night before, so I immediately fell asleep. ****** ****** ****** ********* ***** Thank you very much, sir; I appreciate it. Don't worry, my dear; if you require anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me. I told the guy on the way begging for food that I'm always available. I drove away with my Lexus 350 after giving him the money. My outfit was the talk of the town, and the amount of money I've amassed has led people to believe that I'm into rituals. I was relaxing in a very beautiful furnished cushion with air conditioning that provided me with a lovely icy touch. I crack open a bottle of red wine, take a sip, and sit back. There was a lot of food and music was playing in the background. Mr. man, wake up! Please do not sleep in my shop; instead, go home and sleep. This is my shop, and it is not intended for sleeping. I heard the voice but didn't know what was going on because I felt like I was already at home. I felt a touch on my body and removed the person's hand without caring who the person was or if she would touch me again. I started soliloquizing as soon as I got wet. I jumped up, hoping to see those mansions and the luxurious life I was living, but it was all a dream. I was irritated because the woman kept urging me to leave her shop, and just as I was about to leave, she went inside and poured me another bucket of water. .I became enraged and rushed her to punch her, but I remembered my mother because she is almost the same age as my mother and I can't even raise my hands on my mother, so I ignored her. She kept shouting hit me, Mr man, and she held me tight, so I dragged myself away from her and continued on my way. passerby and some market men and women who saw the drama was anxious to know the cause of the fight the woman was still shouting calling me names, I could bear the shame anymore I used my last card to board for a taxi as the driver was moving I was looking back people were still gathering on the scene I keep looking till we couldn't see them anymore. ********** ********** ************ I had the appearance of someone who had been rejected. My neighbours were staring at me, and I was embarrassed. John! John!! John!!! What exactly happened to you? One of my closest neighbours asked, "Why are your clothes wet? Did you fall inside the gutter?" I didn't say anything, but I feel like the ground should give way and allow me to fall inside. As she got closer to me, the clothes I was wearing and the dirty water the woman poured on me reacted and began to stink. Ogechi, my next-door neighbour, couldn't stand the smell and moved backwards while covering her nose. i gently went inside the room with tears in my eyes. i remember what my late father told me that hard times never last. i wipe my tears, moved closer to my bed i drank four sachets of water because there is no food to eat i used that to hold my appetite. my bed was scattered so i arranged it put everything together and slept off. I checked my wall clock it was exactly 5:30 pm I quickly jumped out of the bed took my shovel and head pan and rushed to a nearby site. I went as early as that to be the first person that the engineer is going to choose for the work I set on the sand waiting patiently. I heard the sound of a gun before I could move I was captured by armed rubbers I pleaded for mercy but they didn't allow me they beat me up collected the little money I have in my pocket and left me. The other rubber came back to shoot me I pleaded for the second time, his fellow gang ordered him to leave me but he insisted he kick me on my head I was thinking that he jas gone as I was about to stand up he shot me but the bullet didn't penetrate me because he missed his target but the sound of the bullet and the shock pushed me down so he thought I was dead. Why did you shoot that guy we have an agreement that no bloodstain in this mission. Why Razy, Razy why. But check out, don't you that if I didn't kill this guy he might expose us don't you know Bullet. Let me tell you this man has nothing he is reached and poor what evidence does he have to claim that we rubbed him. See Razy let me tell you I hate careless movement let our yes be yes and our agreement should be our agreement As they were still arguing I silently ran away with little injury on my ear and leg. *********** * ************ ***********
