*** ****** **† ****** *** **
I opened my eyes to find myself in place as cold as a refrigerator. I look sideway and I see dead corpse lied side by side beside me. on seeing this, I hurriedly rise on my feet. I look around me and I see more of dead corpses. ” where is this place, and what am I doing here with the dead ” I asked myself this question.
I saw a door close to where I am, so I approached the door. Lucky for me the door wasn’t lock, so I opened the door and stepped outside. I saw a man sleeping loudly beside the door.
” excuse me sir, can you tell me where I am ” I said.
The man look at me terrified, then all of a sudden, he picked a race. I wonder why he ran, I thought maybe he see a danger so me too I run after him shouting for him to stop.
And before I knew it, everywhere was in chaos. Whoever that see me or I came across with, run like they are seeing a ghost. Some were shouting and screaming ” ghost ghost!! ” I tried telling them that am not a ghost, but no one seems to hear of it.
I met Gen Adelaja and a soldier on the way. Immediately the soldier sighted me he screamed up then took to his knees like a terrified pig. Gen Adelaja stood his ground , but it was obvious that he’s shaking beneath.
Me: sir , why are people running away from me?
Gen Adelaja : its okay son. The worst is over.
Me: the worst?
Gen Adelaja : yes son, please follow me, I have a place to take you to.
Me: where?
Gen Adelaja : I will explain everything to you on the way.
