THE DIARY OF AN MC(SUNNY MESSIAH) Episode 4
I must have urinated on myself. It was wet and it felt warmer than sweat. Whatever it was, it could wait. In a couple of minutes, I had gone through a roller coaster of near death experiences, urine was the least of my life threatening problems.
I had managed to come out the slimy jaw of death unscathed all those times. Yes, together physically, but badly shaken emotionally.
The discordant instrumental my heartbeat was producing was becoming deafening. It was pounding away loudly in my ears. I was afraid for my rib cage. Seriously, hoping against hope that it would not give under the intense pressure of my heartbeat.
My eyes never left the door. Nothing could peel my gaze from that door. I willed my eyes not to blink a wink while I took steps backwards away from the door. Planting one step after the other in reverse.
That useless voice spoke up again from within me, " man up and face the music, cowards die many times before their death."
Who said I was a coward? For crying out loud we were not small people, me and the big-for-nothing gospel artist. Have you ever heard the proverb about when two elephants fought? The collateral damage would be too much . I do not want to have the blood of innocent people on my hands. I lied shamelessly to the useless voice.
Truth be told, it was honestly going to be a bloody fight. And everyone knew it would be my blood. That explained why I was outside looking at the door, knowing my life depended on it.
The door opened fully, suddenly and I tripped from sheer naked fear. I sprang up quickly with my eyes still on the door. Only to see a little boy , a toddler wimping, " Mummy, I want to wee wee....."
I gave a huge sigh of relief. I was delightfully relieved and sad at the same time. I could not believe I had fallen on the ground because of the small boy. If not for God I would have given him a befitting conk. Something his size.
However, my happiness was short lived when someone else who was definitely not the boy's mother stepped out too. He looked in every direction up until his eyes rested on me. So much for being relieved.
See you on Wednesday
