Ward 309

I was having a roller-coaster of emotions, first was me shivering with apprehension as Mom was unresponsive,splayed on the floor while my brothers battle to revive her as Karl was performing CPR,she was quite stiff and her lips abit parted,add that to feeling hurt about how everyone around the airport scampered away from us as though Mom was some human bag of plague waiting to distend,burst and gradually ooze out,poisoning everyone,they stood afar,barking CPR tips. QT  screamed at me to join them to carry Mom to the car and rush her to the clinic,I hurriedly joined in,lifting Mom's arms and as we were carrying her away,the medical team of the airport came around and asked us to place her on a stretcher they came with,she was examined on the spot and wheeled into their sick bay,where Mom was revived and complained of splitting headache and tummy cramps,she was given pain relievers and we left the airport albeit a little embarrassed at the whole drama.

The other woman

It must have been around three am in the dead of night,the bedside lamp left on,I was deeply asleep,my hands clasped together and stuck between my thighs to keep warm,I felt an enveloping cold permeating my skin,creasing everything in its path as it sinks into my body,coursing through my insides,feeling as though it was brittling  my bones creating a somewhat stinging feeling.


Still deeply asleep and in a bid to keep warm,I outstretched my hand,feeling for my duvet but it was nowhere near me,my face tightened into a slight frown in frustration, I opened my eyes which was blurred at first,trying to take in my immediate surrounding from the partial darkness created by the dim light of the bedside lamp ,I rubbed my eyes,looked beside me and saw Karl swath himself with the entire large duvet,I clenched my teeth in anger,held the edge of the duvet and pulled it towards me but Karl had his hands dugged in tightly,holding on firmly on the duvet,now visibly upset,I sat up,prepared to pull harder at the duvet when I noticed Karl shivering and chewing his mouth as though he was lip synching,I examined him all over,calling his name but he didn't wake up,I figured he was having a nightmare so I slapped him arms and shook him awake.

"Wake up bro! What's wrong with you?"

Carpe diem!

PING! PING!

My blackberry phone buzzed for the umpteenth time prompting me to drop the carrots I was busy scraping dirts off under the kitchen zinc faucet with a knife as I got busy to start preparing jollof rice


I shook water off my hands,wiping carelessly on my short "kukere" jean trousers  and went to pick it up,my lips flashed into a cheeky grin...and when I say cheeky grin,who else could elicit such in me if not a female,lol,it was my bossom friend gloria whom I haven't spoken to in a long while,I immediately started punching my phone's keypad as it was also displayed on my screen that she was typing a message

Glo- Maaaaj!

Maj- Oh lord! Hey darling,how are you,quite an age!

The sound of silence

Karl's eyes flipped open,baring reddish eyeballs,his eyelids flicking rapidly pushing out a drop of tear running down the side of his left eye,he was looking pale,almost a washout with some flecks of dried blood sprinkled randomly over his torso,his breathing the sound of a huffing snore was almost the only sign of human presence in the room aside the old split air conditioner vibrating with an irritating noise ,the room was hitherto dull and silent,all of us,quiet and still,all lost in our individual reverie,I sprang up with delight when I saw Karl open his eyes,I was filled with gratitude to God,I covered my mouth with my palms to prevent me from shouting for joy as I hurriedly went to sit by the edge of his bed,squeezing his arm tenderly which had a needle sipping in intravenous liquid into the arm which was all sore around the area the needle was inserted into him.

"How are you doing bro!"
