home

"Eww ,is he a human or an animal , I wonder why I helped him, ok he is pretty handsome though,arggh what am I thinking" Ada thought to herself

"tap,tap tap,wake up,you ,wake up WAKE UP!"

" ugggh my head,do you usually wake up this early,fine I'll get up , I'll get up" I said as Ada tried to wake me up.

" Look,this is my home ,and if you're gonna live here you're gonna have to get off you're lazy ass and help. Ada said.

Ok you must be wondering what's going on,

...Well it's started sometime back, a month ago precisely

It was a sunny day ,I sat in an empty alley trying to figure out how I got this part of my life.....I was so weak I couldn't even think or remember anything,how did I get here.

I got off my lazy ass and decided to look for food for the sake of not-dying.

As I was walking away I heard people saying"look, a mad man",or "Eww ,yuck" they said in hushed tones ,yes I looked that raggedy. I kept on walking,I didn't have a choice,a home to go to or a place to stay. It's just me against the world.

As I walked some people offered me food,I may be homeless,but no beggar, so I turned them down,hmm it's nice to see people are still human.

When was the last time I walked like this?

when was the last time I did anything? who am I ? these endless streams of rhetorical questions don't help at all ,it worsens.

walking, walking, walking,I walked till I got to a shade ,more like exhausted myself and got lucky by tiring myself in a shady area.

Closing my eyes, folding my arms ,resting my head to go to the great beyond

... I don't how long I slept but I woke from the many taps of a busy body that probably has nothing better to do.

Raising my head my eyes met the eyes of a really, really ugly man,that smelt like engine oil and farts ,his clothes were so torn that mine were a luxury,he looked quite,no, really thin, I could see the outline of his ribcage from his shirt,he had dada that looked so messy and dirty ,I bet it's the home of a lot of critters but then again at least they have a home even if it's the head of a stinky man.

"Oga ,wetin do you,we don de close the workshop,abeg de go" he said with a hint of disgust,I'm not a fan of pidgin English but I guess he said"Sir , what's wrong with you, we're closing the workshop, please leave".

Ok, I have alot of questions,this..this shit hole is a workshop,and look at this man ,who's he looking at with disgust,I mean has he seen himself,I thought but quietly stood up I don't need more drama.

"Sorry" I said as I made my way out of the ' workshop' .

The journey to nowhere awaits me.....
