The beginning of the Poet's Broken Abilities
Vince was lied on his bed silently like a baby until he heard his phone come to life, Ring ring it sounded
"Uh what now!", He sat up straight with his eyes flickering
Ring!, Ring!
"Yeah I'm coming"
Vince off his bed and went out of his bedroom and sat forth into a new space to get his phone there it sat on a large table surrounding by three couches with a TV in front, he entered the living room he picked it up and answered it putting it on loud speaker
"Yah, Sup", rubbing his eyes back and forth
"What's wrong with you Vince, it's been 2 years already but you haven't checked up on us",
"Uh, a little question for you I'm still tired who am I talking to again?"
"Nigga! Don't act dumb you're talking to your friend"
"Lemme guess Lindo?", Vince rolled his eyes
"Yah sarn"
"Why should I check up on people, I've been checking up people for years it's time I get to breathe"
"You're sick wena uyezwa(you hear)"
"Yah thanks, call you later"
Vince hung up on Lindo and was thinking about few things as his thoughts were pacing in his mind, he felt dizzy
"Ay! I should stop thinking too much let me go make coffee then finish my own animation"
Vince went to the kitchen, he opened the cupboard, took his cup then took a spoon, sugar and coffee at last he made his coffee, as he headed to the dinning room Vince wasn't feeling himself, Last night's feeling came back
"Ok this is getting weird, let me go get my phone quickly"
He put his coffee down on the table and went straight to his bedroom and dialled Kgotso's Number, Kgotso's phone began to ring
"Pick up, Pick up"
Vince hesitated, Finally Kgotso picked up the phone and answered Vince's call
"Yow"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, nigga something is up with me"
"Uh, what?"
"I said something is up with me dork!"
"Oh, what's up"
"Nigga I feel as if there is something rushing through my veins", Vince muttered
"Did you go to the doctor?"
"Uh no, I hate hospitals", Vince shut his eyes closed
"Just go"
"Yeah whatever", Vince opened and rolled his eyes
Vince hung up then he went to get his coffee and drank it
"Hmm let me go get ready but first let me check on this woman"
He then dials Pontsho's number, Pontsho's phone rang few minutes before she picked it up
"Hi"
"Sup, just called to check up on you", Vince smirked
"Hmmmmmm, thanks how are you doing"
"I'm basically dead", His eyes closed a little bit
"Ay nawe na amanga wakho(ay you and your lies)"
"I don't have mangas yet hehe see what I did there", He bursted into laughter
"Yeah, can I call you back I'ma bit busy"
"Hmm ayt on Saturday I'll be free call me there"
"Bye"
"Cya"
Vince then hung up, got ready and took a taxi to the hospital

Few minutes later
Vince sat on a beautiful white chair next to a bed nothing much was in that room as it had little objects, in front of him was a tall male figure 5.9 feet tall in height, he skin was glimmering with bronze, he eyes were black as the night sky the doctors coat suited him well, he took a small breath and started a little conversation with Vince
"So Mr Vince Moyo how are you?", He gave him a warm smile
"Splendid, how 'bout you", Vince said calmly keeping his cool
"Good, so I see you have a problem Mr poet, do you know I truly love your poems?"
"Oh thanks I guess Mr Lindelani?",
"Tell me what problem do you have?"
"Uh, yesterday night I felt as if there were millions of insects coursing through my veins including today morning", Vince putted his right hand on his left arm
"Weird", Lindelani was astonished, he rubbed his chin with his long index finger
"That's what I said", Vince hovered his both arms behind his head
"Haha great minds think alike, first let's take an x-ray scan then your blood test"
"Ayt"
Dr Lindelani took an x-ray scan and some couple of blood test and returned back to Vince
"Vince?"
"Yeah Wassup?", Vince raised an eyebrow
"We found nothing wrong with you, you are completely healthy"
"You mean nothing?"
"Yes, nothing"
"O-k, I can't argue", He stood up and folded arms
"But I recommend you try other hospitals", He gave a warm smile
"Ayt, I will see anyways thanks for the help", He headed straight for the door
"No problem, uh Vince", He muttered
"Yes?"
"Are you available Saturday?"
"Yeah sure, why?"
"Oh I thought we could chill out as friends"
"Friends huh?"
"Yes is there a problem", Lindelani raised an eyebrow
"Nah not really, Just been a long time chilling with friends", He shook his head and turned to look at Lindelani
"Oh, want to talk about it later?" He sat on the bed
"Maybe, maybe not there's my home address", He wrote his home address on a piece of paper and gave it to the doctor, he set forth out of the ward room before he left the doctor called
"Vince"
"Yes Doctor?"
"I'll be looking forward to it"
"Yeah sure me too I guess"
"Saddest guy I ever met", Lindelani whispered to himself
Vince left and took a taxi home when he arrived he called Kgotso and told him everything about it, Kgotso was speechless Vince ended the call, turned the tv on and watched a bit of anime till it got late, Vince decided to go to sleep without eating as if he was making himself suffer, when he fell fast asleep it was Thursday night his left forearm began to glow gold, he couldn't sleep, he was twisting and turning the whole night, He woke up to find his pillow was heavily wet
"Damn! was I sweating the whole night, lemme go take a bath", He said to himself
He went to the bathroom, open the tap took off his clothes and started bathing
"Hmm, hmm I'm so speechless, lonely, bored haha so sad atleast working out helps" He smiled to himself
He grabbed a towel, wiped himself and wrapped it around he waist, He returned to bedroom to look for a pair of clothes
"Which clothes should I wear oh well I'll just randomly pick since I stay indoors, yay!", He rolled his eyes
Vince spent the whole day writing poems, novel, watching anime but it got late and something unusual happened to Vince
"Not this feeling again, why am I getting weaker it's only 4:30 am and I barely slept, weird and why is my left arm glowing gold and Sheesh I have a major heada-"
Before he finished his sentence Vince collapse right there on the sofer
