DREADING FOR THE UNKNOWN

 I allowed myself to rest my weight on the tall tree, as I sigh,the kind of sigh that makes me wonder if this is how my life would continue, I have always dread for the unknown, especially when those bastards came to our house and murdered my parents in cold blood, I felt my life going in the kind of future I never wanted, now they have both the money and my parents, they burnt the house while am left homeless, without a parents to cater for, I let my thoughts go haywire as I continued to wonder if this is how my life would continue, but right now, I don't even know how-to start, I decided on going To one to one of the neighborhood is was known of it's criminal activities, many have wondered how good if good poeple would still exist in that neighborhood but, I don't have a choice I just have to go there because am starving, I just hope I'll find a good Samaritan, I slid down from the tree and started steady strides towards the neighborhood it was about twenty kilometers distance,I kept on walking till I left the thick forest which have served as my canopy all this while.

  When I reached a clear path, there was defeaning sound of a growl in the side of the forest, I felt shivers run down my spine, as I started walking faster, for the fear of wolves, when I was in my home with my lovely parents they'll always tell me the story of the creeping creatures of the night which is the wolves, the creatures that I have always dreaded all my life, but here I am alone no one to feel safe, that was when i started running like the coward I am"shit...shit.. fuck" I cursed under my breathe as I head the growl kept on coming closer and closer till I felt Insecure, "calm down Andy, you are almost there" the good side of me encouraged me to move on.

  That was what I did till I felt the presence of poeple cheerfully singing, there were few houses in the neighborhood, that was when I started running even faster In other to reach the the neighborhood, when I reached I saw few ladies were walking while taking steady strides, men were using the heavy axe the cut down trees, while the women are taking their kids to the tutorial class, "wow, this poeple don't look the criminal acts I've heard about" I wondered to myself as I started walking to the open Field of the buzzing of the community filled with poeple going to different locations, some having a huge bulk of goods traveling to different places.

    I walked up to the community feeling embarrassed because my clothes are all disheveled, I got many stares from the poeple, I tried to calm my wreck emotions but is was futile I don't know what is about to happen as felt my stomach growled, I knew I was hungry, I wondered where to look for food not not until I inhale the aroma of cupcakes making my mouth water, I started looking for the owner, not until my eyes landed on a woman who's selling those cakes, I was feeling really hungry making me run and immediately took one of the cupcake, I did that even without thinking, even without knowing the repercussions, I even wondered where I got the strength to do that.

    I felt pain, that's when I knew I was stoned, i tried to move but my knees felt Weak, it felt wobbly, I tried to continue running but I can't due to the pain I was feeling.

   I fell to the ground, feeling Weak.

   "Where you trying to run to, we don't have thieves here" a woman shouted making me closed my eyes to avoid any more embarrassment.

    "Look how weak he is, I think he's hungry, why can't you at allow him to eat" a sweet feminine voice said to me me still lieing down, I manage to open my eyes only to meet the apor of beautiful browm eyes staring directly at me. I felt an unknown emotions surging in, making me feel venerable.
