THE NARROW ESCAPE

It was Sunday morning when Melisa and Jessy were still asleep. They were
supposed to wake up at 7 O’clock in the morning but it was 8:30 am in the
morning. Their parents had gone for an advertisement outside the country
[Kenya] to Britain for the advertisement.
The advertisement was very dangerous such that they did not want anyone
to know about it. Truly, it was not advertisement it was not advertisement it was
a deal that the wife to the Husband name Halison was to be expectant, to carry a
child for nine months so that to earn money while Halison was to act as usual/
normally that there is nothing going on.
For that reason Halison’s wife was to sleep that night with the man. That
was the dangerous thing. They were to be paid a hundred million cash money.
Melisa and Jessy got up late, there house help was there to prepare them
to go to church. They hurried and went to take their breakfast but Jessy first
asked “aunty where did mom and dad go and don’t try to lie.”
The house help Ann answered them, “they went for an advertisement in
Britain but they will come.” Ann was scared to tell them the true because Melisa
and Jessy were still young to know anything.
Both Jessy and Melisa were too young but they liked racing. On their way,
they saw a big train inside the train they saw Americans because both of them
liked Americans they decided to follow them while shouting happily. One
American stopped the train and told Melisa and Jessy to enter quickly as possible.
They ran as fast as their legs could carry them. The train continued with
their long way journey. Ann the house help knew that the children went to
church. It was already 2:00pm in the evening. The children were not yet arrived
home. Ann was scared, her heartbeat increased its beating. Halison called Ann to
ask her if the children are doing well. A phone ringing! Ann picked up as fast as
she could, “hello boss,” how are you Ann.”
“Am doing good boss and everything is good her.”
“I hope the children went to church and they have eaten enough food.”
 “Yes boss everything is perfect here.”
“Can I speak to them now?”
“No! I mean no boss they are asleep they have been running up and down
and now they are tire. When they wake up you’ll speak with them, good day
boss.” Ann finished and switched off her phone
“Where are they now?” Ann was scared as if her heart could carry her. She
went over asking for them but a Good Samaritan told her that the train was
passing and they were called by the Americans and they will stop at the border
of Uganda and Tanzania train station. Ann panicked.
She went back home and changed, took her phone switched it on, locked
the door and left to booked for a ticket. The next train arrived at 4:00 pm. “Ann,
why did you let the children go away. You think having a child is a joke? You not
picking up my calls why Ann? Answer me!” Ann woke up and saw it was just a
dream.
She crossed her fingers and started praying silently. Ann……..praying ……
[silently] God willingly, she reached the border of Uganda- Tanzania train station
where she saw Melisa and Jessy trying to open the tied rope on their body.
“Aunty please help me,” Melisa shouted. The Americans were
discriminating the little once. Ann hurried as fast as she could to approach those
Americans but she got an accident and died without approaching the Americans.
Both Melisa and Jessy shouted and screamed a loud. “You stupid Americans my
aunty is dead and you can’t do anything,” Jessy said The Americans did not care
anything they took the children enter the aeroplane and it flew away. Jessy and
Melisa had no choice but to accept the reality.
They travelled for 4 hours 38 minutes 50 seconds to reach Britain. The
Americans were welcomed well back home by others. Do you know that
Americans are like dogs when you enter there trap?
These Americans attack small under age children and come to make them
slaves, including British people. Melisa and Jessy were welcomed to hell. If you
wanted to get out, you need to pass through a test that most of the children fail
and die. This is a game that most Americans and British people failed to take
control over Kenya, so they saw the best option was that.
Melisa was in grade three while Jersey was in grade four. They were taken
to a darkened room far away from the other houses. Inside the house there were
few children who were very happy to see new friends.
Jessy asked the other children, “what kind of a place is this? Dark, quiet and
so scary.” Later one girl named Lucy answered him “because no one should
escape in here. You’ll never see your family ever again. My last time I saw my
family is when I was 4 years old and now am 10 years old. Six years ago I heard
that my family died trying to save me, so hurtful.” Lucy included by saying those
words.
Melisa and Jessy looked at each other. They took a deep breath. Finally the
day reached. The British president names Julius Kolibhon ordered that the game
should start. The game had instruction that one if you start the game either you
die in between the game and if you could succeed you’ll be killed or released
when you are about to die.
“Now, let the game begin now.” Julius Kolibhon the British president
ordered. All 769 children were taken to the big building where held.
When you enter the door there inside you’ll find the one room, then you’ll
find two doors you have to choose one so that you may go to the next room and if
you choose the wrong door you will be locked in and the acid will be poured on
you and you’ll die.
The game continued, many things were happening when the game ended
six people survived including Melisa and Jessy. The Americans and British people
started telling them to pull heavy rods and they were shouting time as they pull
the heavy rods.
Accidentally Melisa was shot on her right foot and fell down. Jessy stopped
pulling the cart and went to her sister which was not allowed. Jessy broke one of
the British rule. Julius Kolibhon did not believe it. He got out of his house to the
big field where the game was being held.
 “Melisa! Melisa! Open your eyes sister, please open your eyes. Don’t die,
don’t die Melisa!” Jessy did not believe that, Melisa was about to die. The bullet
which was on her right foot was big and any child could not survive it. “Jessy!
Jessy!” Melisa called Jessy. “I don’t think that I will survive out here. You have the
chance to escape away and you go to look for mum and dad out there. Remember
we are in Britain and mum and dad came here for an advertisement, Jessy. I love
you brother take care of yourself. I wish I knew that Americans treat Africans like
this, we could have listened to Aunty Ann who passed away trying to save u. run
away and don’t look back I will be with you always.” Melisa concluded by those
words and died.
Julius shot the rest of the children and they all died. The main target was
Jessy. “Jessy! If I catch you, you silly boy am sure you’ll hate me.” Julius Kolibhon
shouted. All people came to see if they could see the boy. Jessy got a chance and
he used it well but he did not believed that his only sister died and she was killed
by Julius Kolibhon the president of British.
Jessy swore that one day one time when he will got a chance he will do
revenge for her sister’s death. Jessy reached the main road, he didn’t know where
to go. He was injured and hurt because of what he had experienced. The first
dream Jessy wished to be a military police, to protect his country. God willingly he
met a woman who saw and suspected the young boy. “Jessy! The woman who
was her mother Nancy. “What are you doing here alone? Where is your sister
Melisa?” “She died... I will explain everything later.” When Jessy wanted to
explain to her mother she was pushed on the road side and was hit by a car while
Jessy was looking directly on what was happening. “Mum!” Jessy did not believe
his eyes. “What did I do wrong lord? Everybody who I met him or she dies why?”
Jessy was so confused he didn’t know what to do. Mmhh….Jessy singing
sorrowfully. Jessy was taken by Kenya Defense Forces to his country Kenya. Only
his father survived and he came as fast as he could to see his son. Unluckily his
father was found a criminal [suspect] so he was to go to be judged according to
his mistakes.
Jessy was lonely and had no family. Jessy was taken to children’s home to
live there. Now he had to start a new life again.
 “Jessy wake up, you will be late for games.” Melisa woke up Jessy. “Melisa
nice to see you.” Jessy said to Melisa smiling. “Where were you?” “Sleeping”
Melisa answered.
Jessy noticed that it was a nightmare. That all of that was a dream. This
night mare made Jessy sleepless all night. His head was aching. When he woke up,
he spread the bed, washed his face and went to take breakfast.
“Why are you not dressed for school,” Melisa asked Jessy in suspense. “Am
not feeling well.” Jessy replied back. Jessy saw his parents. He hurried went and
hug them and he realized it was just a dream. He remembered yesterday he was
too tired he came and slept direct. He told his parents and her sister Melisa about
the dream and they were shocked to hear that. Truly it was a message to the
whole family. Melisa decided not to go to games but to stay with his brother Jessy
at home.
Jessy thank God because it was just a dream. Everyone went to do the
chores while Jessy rested because he needed a peaceful moment to sleep. He
learnt that life is a journey and it has no end when you are living but it has an end
when you die.
Truly it was a narrow escape!!!!

 THE BETRAYAL
Two lovers were to get married as soon as possible. In this story, betrayal,
hatred occurs. These two couples Ann and Mark were arranging their wedding.
Because it was the first time for Ann to get married, she was still a virgin.
Her mother really advised her but she ignored her mother’s advice. She
could not listened to her mother’s words because of the love she has been shown
by Mark. Men can make a girl crazy and do illegal things that a girl cannot do.
Everything was prepared for the two couple to get married. Ann was the
happiest person in the world. Mark was doing things that are understandable.
The two decided to have blood covenant between the two of them. They did so as
they had agreed. Mark was not happy because of this marriage. The most
important thing that Mark wanted is one thing only.
He is supposed to look for a tattoo inside the body of Ann. When he saw
the drawing on the body of Ann he should use a syringe to take a sample of blood
so that he can take the blood for a sacrifice then drink it to show respect to his
gods. Everybody was ready for the wedding.it was a perfect wedding ever. Ann’s
mother was not happy to see her daughter marrying an evil. She has never loved
mark. She could not imagine that Mark will be his son-in-law.
“The husband and the wife, I mean the bride and the bridegroom should
now exchange their vows [ring].” Ann could not wait for Mark to put a ring on her
finger. So innocent girl. She could not imagine marrying a devil, living with a devil
in one house. What a betrayal will happen after the wedding. Ann’s mother was
crying daily because of her own daughter.
A mother usually have strong feeling inside her. It was late in the evening
when the wedding was over. Everyone went home. The two couples entered
inside the car accompanied by their parents to their new house. Ann was very
happy but Mark was impatient and could no longer wait. After three minutes he
could look at his phone very scared. “Mark are you okay? You look very scared.
Are you not happy? We are married and we will now live together happily.” Ann
told Mark.
 Mark smiled and assured Ann’s words. “Mark my son are you fine? Now I
hope you’ll take good care of my daughter-in-law Ann, mmmh;” Mark’s mother
said happily directing Mark on what to do. They reached to the new house.
“Oh my God! I can’t believe this my new house; so beautiful and big!” Ann
was excited than everyone else.
“I need to speak to you Ann,” Ann’s mother said. “No problem mother go
ahead,” Mark replied back. “Thank you Mark,” Ann replied to Mark. Mark nodded
his head while smiling to Ann. “Ann my daughter, you know very well am not
happy.” “Mum! Every time you want to speak to me that is what you usually say.
Ann! You know that am not happy because you want to get marrieds to Mark.
You know very well that I hate that boy Ann!” Ann replied back rudely to her
mother. “Ann! Am serious when am speaking this to you! Ann got shocked after
her mother replied back to her. “I say I hate Mark! I usually warn you about that
boy. I hate him. One day you’ll regret it Ann. You will find me; you will apologize
to me for the disrespect you have shown me because of mark. Enjoy your night
and remember this! Ann, Mark will betray you. Whatever will find you don’t ever
blame me, blame yourself Ann!” Ann’s mother left very angry and went and took
a car and left.
Ann cried latently without believing everything. “Ann! What’s wrong/? You
have took almost an hour. Where is your mother?” Mark asked. “She has gone”
Ann replied back. “Why have she gone?” Mark asked. “There is an emergency at
home that’s why she left. Can we go now?” Ann replied back. Both of them left
and went to open their new house. “I think there is one person missing?” Mark’s
mother said. “Who?” both Ann and Mark replied.
“Oh! My mother has to go home because there is an emergency,” Ann said.
“Ann you know very well that you have lacked one of our blessings.” Marks’s
mother told Ann. Ann smiled to hide the shame of her face. “Can we continue
now,” Ann said. They opened the house and they entered. All the happiness that
Ann had shone through her face had turn to sadness.
“Ann! Don’t be scared, are you not happy to see our new house?” mark
said to Ann. Ann was silent. It seemed that there was something that make her
suspect that there was something wrong, something bad going to happen.
Suddenly, Ann fell down. Her head was aching and she was freezing all over her
body. Mark’s mother went to the kitchen to prepare tea for Ann to drink. Ann
woke up but she was very weak so she did not woke up by her feet. “Mother, you
know very well what you are supposed to do, right? Don’t make any mistake.
Good luck.” Mark told his mother. They were talking in law tones. “Okay son,
good luck too.” His mother responded back. Mother! Is the tea not ready yet?
Ann is sick, hurry mother! Hurry!” Mark shouted.
“The tea is ready. Here take it, give it to Ann my daughter” “thank you
mother.” Ann said responded back. “I think am better now.” Mother its getting
late you can leave now and take care mother” Mark said. “Ann take care of
yourself,” “take care of self too,” Ann responded back. Mark went and close the
door behind her.
Ann suspected both Mark and his mother, but Ann remembered her
mother’s words. “I think you need to tell me the truth Mark. What’s going on
between you and your mother?” Ann said rudely to mark. Mark got angry but did
not want to express his anger to Ann. “Ann we married Right.” Yes we are married
but my question is what’s going on between you and your mother? Just that.”
“Listen Ann nothing is going on between me and my mother.” “What were
you telling her? While you were in the kitchen. You were talking in law tones so
that I cannot…” “Listen Ann! I will not repeat myself. Nothing is going on you
repeat...” “Repeat what? You are not honest with this marriage….” Ann said
rudely while shouting at each other.
“You must listen to me Ann,” Mark said. “Listen what Mark you told me
that when we get married we must be speaking the truth. We must believe trust
one another. Did you forget all that Mark?” Ann cried without believing all that.
“shhh! Ann stop crying please don’t take me like that.” “Like what?” Ann
responded. Mark continued speaking, “Ann you are the most beautiful lady I have
ever seen since met. Don’t suspect me am not a bad person and now we are
married I promised you we will live a happy life ever. I know now you and your
mother you are not talking to each other but am here Ann am going to tell you
the truth and the truth is that my mother…mmh,’
“Please Mark I need to know the truth,” Ann pleaded with Mark and he
agreed to tell Ann the truth. “Ann my mother and my father met at the hotel. As
usual they exchanged their phone number and they continued charting. My
mother’s intension was that they get married so that I can be born and I was the
target.
“There target was you, your father and your mother got married, and you
were born. Can you explain well like a grown up man,” Ann was shocked. Mark
continued,” “when I was born, my mother took me to a cave where there was
many witches, wizards, gods and most of the sacrifices were offered.’
“Your mother was who among the three,” Ann asked. Mark answered her,”
My mum was a wizard and she took me to one of her gods who they worship and
gave him sacrifices named Abjah. Now my mother was instructed that when I
grow up there is a girl which is you I should marry and there is a tattoo, I mean a
mark that looks like a tattoo I should take a syringe and then take a sample of
blood through that mark using a syringe then I give it to my mother so that she
can take it to the god Abjah and then my mother can offer me a sacrifice. I am the
target and your blood is needed.” Mark concluded.
“My blood is needed but why?” Ann asked. “I don’t know the reason.”
Mark answered back. “When will take my blood,” Ann asked. Mark answered,
“Today night.” “Ann I really love you Ann. I feel so bad seeing a beautiful girl like
you suffering. It’s only for tonight that we are together. Ann I will never see you
again. Thank you for all that moment I have ever spend with you. Please you need
to accept Ann or else I will suffer forever,” Mark concluded his words while crying.
“Mark I’ll miss you, I wondered why your mother, Mark loved and took care
of me so much than my mother but now I have the answer,” Ann concluded by
saying those words while crying. It’s so hurtful to see two couples ending their
love because they were not meant to be together.
After three minutes Mark gave Ann one true love kiss because they will
never ever meet again. “Mother wherever you are am very sorry,” Ann said loudly
while crying. Ann allowed Mark to take blood sample in her body because there
was no option. “Mark do you that the time I saw you, you looked crazy that time,”
Anna and Mark laughed because there was no otherwise. “Anna do you that your
mother will kill me because I came without knocking, “Mark told Anna while they
were laughing together as they waited until morning.
 They told each other stories and they joke at each other. It was very early in
the morning when Anna went and prepared breakfast while Mark was taking
bath. They enjoyed their first and last breakfast together .They heard a knock at
the door.
Anna went to open and she saw it was Marks mother. She had a knife
which she hold it on her right hand. Anna was shocked when she was stabbed in
the stomach using the knife. “Mark lets go “his mother said. Anna thought Mark
was on her side. They entered the car and left to the cave where they were taken.
It seemed there was celebration, they were taken inside and in disbelieve
Anna saw her mother celebrating why? Mark was laid between the stones and
Anna’s mother, Marks mother and Anna, they offered Mark a sacrifice. “Mark I’ll
miss you. I love you so much,” Anna told Mark. Now Mark story was forgotten god
Abjah took a sample of blood and drunk it.
“Anna my daughter congratulation for the good job you have done, god
Abjah his father told Anna. Anna smiled while she looked at her mother. “Am
proud of you Anna,” her mother said. Note this that Mark did not betray Anna but
Anna betrayed Mark how!
