Strolling around the house, seeing corners that ceased to exist. The heavy rain gracing the night, Washed away my tiredness off the list. The power went out, but my torch gave me a sense of light. Did I just spot someone? Or was it me hallucinating 'cause of my fright? There were no candles that just 'Poof' ed nor any Crosses turning upside down. But I could sense IT's presence. I could feel my confidence drown. There were these cold whispers... That had no words to give it a meaning. Do they always appear in white..? Or do they strike from back without warning..? My little toe always had a mind of its own... Like always it dashed an object, led to me falling! After I heard a 'Thud' I caught a visual of someone's rotting feet, with abnormal posturing.. They say 'You must dream to fly'... But this entity had taken a shallow flight, It made a dramatic rush through the wall, Without causing a dent in sight... When my ...
The year was 2012 and I
was in a relationship.
My parents I assumed
weren't aware of my partnership.
So Valentine’s Day came
by.
She got me 14 gifts from
the sky.
So I entered my building
holding those gifts.
Looking like a strongman
with a swag in his fists.
Little did I realize
seeing my mother in the distance.
All of a sudden I got
the feeling of an opposite effervescence.
You know moms how they
smirk when you’re caught.
I tried telling her
nonchalantly, “Ha-ha...Mom look what I got”.
“Mom ah. Ah, I go… got a
girl, a girlfriend... Who I was going to tell you about”.
Then she showed me her
phone… telling me “Awww...is this the girl? Just to clear my doubt”.
Now my mom was no high
ranking policewoman.
Just a normal humble
human.
How could she have
knowledge about my secret love life?.
She was not on FB,
Insta… or any other social media alike...
Then she narrated “Once
upon a recent while…
Your cellular
conversation was overheard by a mile.
Your sound waves had the
name of a girl...
Who might that be....? I
wondered by twisting my hair curl.
You think I don't know
what's Facebook...
Think again your mom's
smart...
You showed me how to
start the computer, but you not logging out of Facebook…
Was your piece of art.
I asked mister Google…
Show me an answer to the knowledge I seek.
He said ma'am here's the
Facebook page of your son, now take a peek.
There she was having
stolen all my sons
Kisses.
No wonder he was glued
to his phone...
Like a scientist amidst
his thesis.
I do not know how to
initiate a
Download.
So I thought to
myself... This mobile's camera
Should reduce my
workload”.
I froze like a statue
for 1000 years...
I could not choose
Option A or B, to laugh or shed some tears…
PS: .. Moms are great…
Most of you may relate…
