Are you stupid?
"Sir I don't get you" Allen replied to the question with a frown on his face. How did we get to this well I just got to work a few minutes ago and was greeted warmly in a welcoming way by my boss, of course I'm being sarcastic after all we're in Nigeria.
Sir I am sorry for being three minutes late. Though I respected my boss a lot one thing I couldn't tolerate was being insulted when it didn't call for it or so I thought.
Allen, what are you doing here... did you not see the sky shatter or at least hear it because I have never seen a man who will see all those things and still come to work like it's a normal day and apologize for coming late. Are you obsessed with work?...
I was dumb founded because he was right. Damn this was an opportunity to skip a day of work. Boss' jaw dropped as he was speechless because he couldn't believe what he was hearing. Allen you still don't get me, hah don't worry. Honestly, I understood him clearly but I'm too used to playing dumb when I'm not in the mood for a discussion. I'm still here trying to understand myself after all, Jerry is not around? unlike you he is a normal person and knows to stay home but sir you also did not stay home, I was already here before the sky broke hmph.
I work in a production factory under my boss, Mr.Chukwudi from his name you can tell he is an Igbo man. Despite being Yoruba guys I and my co worker rather work with an Igbo man. And my boss was a man worthy of respect not like other Igbo business men but the greed for money is in their bloodline. Now that I think about it didn't the sky shatter? where is my mana? Book lovers will understand.
We didn't work that day just some chit chat
I also advised boss to be alert and always keep a weapon close to himself at first he didn't take me seriously but I reminded him that the sky also didn't give a fuck about him but in a polite way.
When I got home that evening I was met with an angry mom. What is wrong with you this boy, you will not kill me with hypertension. A statement typical of any Nigerian mother. My mother who goes by the name Rebecca was staring daggers at me but I for one who some times love trouble am like "woman what's with that look" and that was it everything an African mother could use as a weapon was thrown at me with so much force that I thought she wanted to kill me. I dodged and ran upstairs locking myself in my room. Damn that woman was out for blood later that day in the evening, I came downstairs when dad was back and greeted him mom was still glaring at me but I knew dad had already spoken to her. I sat down with him on the couch and the news on the international news station was about the incident that occured earlier today.
Allen's dad who goes by the name Samuel Jask was the head of the Jask family though Allen saw him as a stubborn man he still respected him ever since he got his high paying job he has always been happy. Surviving in Lagos without a job was like a hen trying to fight a farmer that was there for its eggs weird right. Dad was a dark skinned Yoruba man while mom was a fair skinned Edo woman, a fair skin color both I and my sister inherited.
Good evening everyone this is live and with you is..... attention drawn back to the television, we saw the news about all the events happening today and were informed that it was a world wide incident. Some were crying that Jesus has come and left them but that didn't make sense not because I'm disrespecting christians after all I also am from a Christian home but the fact that babies were still on the earth and no one has been reported missing. Therefore it definitely can't be called rapture. Surprisenly my dad agreed, he is someone I will call a fanatic
Back to the TV, the news reporter announced that there have been reported cases of people being able to lift a car, demolish buildings and even controlling elements to a lesser degree and these people could have caused damage had it not been for the fact that they were not bullet proof. Now this was what caught my attention the world has really changed.
