EPISODE ONE- THE VALLEY
Ofofo caught up with me as I bent over, peeping to see the landscape of the valley Alas!!! I slipped, swerving into the slope with speed as lightening , quick as hawk whose prey is in sight, rolling and weeding grasses while making effort to stop sliding, but on the contrary as friction is far from my feet even with safety booths on.
Few seconds later, I touch down like a cargo flight who taxid out of the run way, crushing with my knees and arms, dragging my belly on the rough surface till I came to halt on a powder dust, I could feel the fine smooth dust like that of ancient Egyptian pyramid in my mouth and nose, I coughed, stood up and staggered as though high as a kite on morphine. I coughed, hiccuped and coughed till every dust was clear off my wind pipe.
"You got what you deserved" a voice echoed, then I drifted 180 degrees to see and serve the ewe who made that absurd statement a healthy pound of response.
ops!!! There was no one, just a voice in my head, I whispered
"Shii-biscuit" I muttered as I dust off the soil on my body, feeling rather fine with no pain, aches only for few seconds, I began feeling the stingy sensation of the bruises on my arm, knee and belly as though were slashed with razor... I couldn't help but spit the word
"fff***ccckkk"!!!
In a moment Wale, Joseph, Temi, Abiola, Khadijat, Seun, victor and Sayo came running and laughing " Ade sorry ooo" they chorused,
"What happened" Sayo said laughing,
"What do you think happened?" I snapped "I was up there and now I am down here with dust all over me" I snapped.
I walked slowly leaving them as they laughed so hard that some sat on the floor pointing at me while laughing me to scorn.
Mitcheeeewwww I hissed as I continue moving towards a river bigger than a standard pool.
"Ade wait wait wait naw", they called out
