Survivor

That beautiful day waking up in the middle of nowhere, it seems like i was daydreaming though i can feel the presence of things around me. My eye brow and glabella was too heavy and it seems like i was carrying a heavy load, coupled with the bruises and internal pain, i didn't need a seer to tell me that i have been in a state of hypersomnia. Let me flashback to the status quo ante before the whole thing happened.

Am just a young boy trying to survive in a country of disarray were laws are meant to only regulate the activities of the riffraff, country were your struggle since January could be taken away from you at December or even to shorten it...your means to an end can be taken away from you in a twink of an eye by hooligans. Talking about this country alone inflicts pain to the citizens because it misery ring a bell of it's turmoil. One of the daily devotion of it's citizens is to make money and elope to developed country, but that's not the content of the story though it contributed to what happened.

I always wake up early morning to run out and join my mate out there struggling to survive, we engaged more on hawking, selling my plantain buns is what i do best...but that day was a different story because they situation of the things was ready to cause boohoo in our woo-hoo ... I went to our shop and when it reached to my turn to take my own portion to be sold i was elated because that morning i was number two to take off but to my consternation when i reached to market i not only heard but also saw that the whole shop were closed and that governor has declared that everyone who owns or sell within and along that area should close shop and start impromptu cleanup and the police were put incharge to watch the whole market.

I continued selling my plantain buns and also alert to rush in any angle that echo's "nwa buns" my brother and i kept walking up and down doing what we do best suddenly there was an uproar that one bank along that market has been encroached and robbed and not only that people are already running to and fro to the direction the think safe, i was running carrying my plantain buns suddenly gun shot was fired and hit a pregnant woman including a sales lady and two young guys... Maybe the robbers were firing the bullet in order to clear road for their escape but it was a state of chaos and all that witnessed it can testify the magnitude of it's brouhaha.

As i was running i didn't even know when i let go my bucket containing my goods the next thing that happened shocked me... Because of the multitude of people running i didn't even know the direction i was running into suddenly i was pushed inside a big gutter with some of us who were running in that direction not knowing where we are heading... Some people landed on top of me and i lost consciousness other things that happened i couldn't testify but it wasn't yet my time.

Back to the previous it was then that i woke up and realized i was in a hospital and they told me i have been there for like 3 days though i was breathing but i wasn't in a state of consciousness.

Further, i was narrated the ordeal of what happened including how i was brought to the hospital in toto. I survived though some that were rushed with me couldn't make it but i was lucky to survive.

Miracle happens everyday in our life but we always wait for big things to happen before we start appreciating God, the earlier we realize that even breathing, sleeping and waking up sound is a miracle the better for us. Appreciate God even in misery and happiness because just a situation can change everything including your existence in this world.
