The War of Time

Nairobi City welcomed me so nervously , the city was huge and confusing. I wouldn't help to locate a bus stage to Tala, Machakos county. After a few manoeuvre I helped to aboard a bus that made me so happy despite the worrying Covid-19 pandemic. It took me one good hour to reach Tala. As an hemp believer then, I rushed to a nearby crowdy boys who were smoking so happily as if the laws were exceptional to them. I swallowed a heavy roll of a puff that left me coughing. As usual i was in the battle field...fighting for time and you know how it feels when you are in a new place. My Kamba friend Willy was nowhere to be seen contrary to our agreement. I waited till 7.00PM and all i would see was a man approaching me while calling to confirm my authenticity. He greeted me and handed over Ksh 300 for my night room. I was bored, "high" and weary. Time was galloping...the night was calm and time would not let me observe more except to find myself asleep, sound sleep
