Born Again The Career I Chose
When I got to the wasteland, I found The Mystery- voice waiting for me in person, at the exact spot he said we should meet at. It was on that moment I believed that I`ve being living a lie for all my life. I have being speaking to one person in different forms. The Mystery- voice, the Old- man Scientist, the Cruel- man and My Advocate. All these men were in one man. I should have known better. “Who do you want to talk too?” he asked, “Mystery or Cruel or Advocate?” “I want to talk to the real you.” He transformed as he turned to look at me. It was The Old man scientist. “Young man, what is it you want to talk about?” “My life.” I said, “You know me, what do you think of me? Who am I?” “I know too much about you. I know that everything you do is out of pure intentions. That you do wrong for the good course.” he said, “But as someone who knows nothing about you. I think you are a heartless piece of a scam bag!” “So should I just admit that this is a life I was born to live? That n
Born Again Different Dreams and Perspectives
My girlfriend was accepted in one of the best Universities that produce the best Medical Doctors in the whole world. It was the best thing that ever happened to her; to us. I was happy that for her. For me. For us. For the first time in my life, at least, there`s someone I can name and say they are a living proof that dreams do come true. You can be the best if you want too. And that proof was my fiancé. Yes, I proposed to her after she got her results and an admission letter. I proposed and she said yes! She accepted to be Mrs. Me. Never mind, I`m getting married so young. Her PHD is going to come with my surname written on it. What an achievement to me! On the day she left to go and further education, we accompanied her as a family to the airport. “Babe, please take good care of Junior.” She spoke in a soft voice. “And please behave. I don’t want mom and sis` telling that you are hooking up with your old friends again.” “Babe, the day I bought that ring in your finger, I had p
Born Again Living a lie
The new year came and I had been promoted to my final grade. My girlfriend was nervous and awaiting her matric results. We all knew she had excelled but her worried was being accepted at a tertiary institution of her choice.Our son was growing, so was our relationship. For the past few weeks, I experienced love at its purest form. It was a feeling I can`t explain. I knew I could get more of that for many years if only I become a guy she wants out of me. This girl is full of love. If only I put away this Mastermind and become the real me. Innocent and smart. I would get her unconditional love forever.I do wish to do away with this life. I want too. But realistically, it`s not that easy. I can`t just up and change the situation. There are people who live by the grace of my existence, of Mastermind. I, killing that name would be indirectly killing those people. I can`t just let that happen. I need to do something, I need to do what`s right.“And what`s right, Mastermind?”“Securing tha
Born Again The Wise- thug
Days passed and everything was fine. I had no difficulties with my exams and was done with physio, and I could walk properly so. However, they will never forget that Mastermind was once on a wheelchair, so I had to entertain mockery they made out of it at school just until there`s something new they could talk about.During these days, the only thing I thought about was a plan to make my friend stop getting the monthly debt from the medical facility. I hadn’t thought of any that will work but I had to pay him a visit before the payday. Fortunately, he paid me a visit first- at school.“My friend, I can see you`ve recovered, hey.” He said, “Who would say you were in a wheelchair a few weeks ago.”“What do you want?”“The last time we spoke, I told you we are not done.” He said, “The car is waiting at the gate. Let`s go already.”“I just wonder how they even left you to enter the premise.”When we got to the gate, we found a Rolls Royce waiting for us. We were going for a spin, or so he
Born Again The Recruit
As promised, The Cruel- man, Back Jesus and the Prison Commander focused on the plan while I spent my time and focus on my son, academics and recovery. I had to hire a tutor for home schooling for an exemption to write my year examinations at my school. My girlfriend re- registered her previous school and settled the outstanding amount to finish her matric. It was a model C boarding school so she decided to stay at the school dormitory since she couldn’t bare seeing a criminal like me every day. She said I remind her of all the things that happened in my absence because I was the cause of it all but I wasn’t there to rescue her like I do with others and for that, she`s not ready to forgive me- if she`ll ever forgive me. For peace`s sake, we agreed that she will visit the baby on weekends and whenever she`s free too. Also, I made sure that the only stress she has for the next two months was nothing but her academic stress while I handled the rest. I continued with my physio sessions
Born Again The Plan for Redemption
After my physio session, which was my second session since I was discharged, I told my Advocate that we got to the prison since I had ordered that we meet at the prison office. No one in my family accompanied me to the session because I told them not too.In the meeting we held, it was the prison commander, Black Jesus, the Cruel man and I. We met in a private room he organised for us to discuss what I`m about to propose. A suicidal mission as always! “Gentlemen!” the Commander welcomed us into the office, “What is he doing here?”“Relax! Afternoon to you too, partner.” I said, “Today we meet here because we have a serious matter to deal with. I wouldn’t say any of you is lucky to be part of the plan because it`s not like I had a choice, you are all I have.” I sighed, “Commander, this man you know as an Advocate, I know him as a worse human I`ve ever met. He`s the Cruel man, the reason I am who I am today. And this one, the most wanted criminal in the country; by both the police and
Born Again A present from my Girlfriend
Two weeks later, I got discharged from hospital. What a pleasant moment for my family now that I`ll be coming home for good. But I wasn’t feeling excited as them. I was going to be on a wheelchair for quit some time. Vulnerable and depended. I had to attend physio session for at least a month if I`m lucky. What a punishment for me! What am I going to do? “Focus on your studies, Mastermind. Focus on your studies.” Said the Mystery Voice My Advocate came in and said, “The car is ready outside.” “It`s time to go, my son.” On the way home, a lot was running on my mind hence I wasn’t part of the conversation in the car. Above all that was running on my mind, revenge and anger were the main aspects. Someone had to suffer for this. But who will it be since they are all dead? “We are home now.” I came back to my senses. “Mom, where`s Sis?” She ignored my question by helping me out of the car, “You so heavy.” She giggled. The Cruel man went pass us to open the door for us and when we
Born Again Near Death
There I was, in a dark room. So dark that I couldn’t see my hand no matter how close I put it to my eyes. I heard voices calling my name from all sides but I couldn’t see who was shouting my name. I rounded, rounded and rounded until I saw a light. It was so small like it was reflecting from a small hole. Then I saw my lastborn brother as an Angel next to it. He called my name and told me to come with him to the light. As I walked towards him and the light, I thought about my unborn child. How can I leave him before he gets to know me? Who will take care of him in my absence? I need to be there for my child and his mother. I can`t leave him so young. I just can`t! I tried to wake up as I got my conscious back but I couldn’t. “He`s having a seizure.” Hours later, I tried to wake up as I felt my conscious back. I was still unconscious and couldn’t feel my body. All I could hear was machine beeps but couldn’t open my eyes wide enough. My eyesight was blurring that I could only see sta
Born Again Prison Life (ii)
Two days later, I went back to the C-max prison hospital where I slept only for two more nights then I was told that I was fit to go back to my cell. When I got there, I didn’t find my cellmate. I hope he is dead. There were still many of us in the block who survived, but a little less than before the night of the war. Some of our soldiers were dead and some were still in the hospital. I don’t know where Black Jesus fell between the two as he was not there in his cell. But he can`t be dead. He can`t be. I didn’t sacrifice my life for him so he could die too. No, he is not! “Sure, Mastermind. I heard you are back.” He asked, “How are you?” “Thank God nothing happened to you.” I said, “As long as you are good, I`m good!” “Well, in that case, we need to talk.” He had a serious face. “I`m listening. Just hoping I`m not in trouble.” “We need to stop selling for now. It`s too dangerous.” “No, we are not stopping.” I said, “The danger
