The sack (gunia)



By now am panting heavily my toungue out gasping for as much air as possible.( this is the point where I wish we would breath though the skin). Five seconds are not even over up on our heals again.

Let me clear the air you may think I changed ma career but no. I happen just to be in the in the wrong place at the right time. Now we at 'koja' facing ngara. One guy asks me " wako wapi?" And without even thinking I relied: " ata sijui"

The air clears no more running battles, they start arranging their sacks on the ground and display their  merchandise. I collect  my breath for a few more minutes and begin waking back to the CBD.

As I approach fire station am grabbed ruthlessly by some guy and before I could curse out a few words or even form a fist I was facing the opened back door of a city council van.

"Mumeshinda hapa mukitusumbua Leo mtarujua"; this were words of one of the guys as he kicked my ass into the van.

We were like 27people in there its even by God's grace we fitted  in there. ( imagine my troma considering the fact that am an uptown boy).
Let me shade the light on this (before  i pass out  any time soon the beating plus lack of air) am not a hacker, I happen to be carrying a "gunia" you know this guys banded paper bags and I needed to transport  some  goods from one point to another. Its not that the government gave us alternatives...............

The Unborn

The day had began on a higher note, the sun is not fully out yet but the weather is calm, I have just finished taking my breakfast. (Which by the way am very full cant lift a muscle am forced to chill a little longer on the couch). There is nothing better in this world like marrying a good woman(almost said perfect then just remembered ..... You know). Then things get better if she is of good character and looks good physically (forget the crap people say 'beauty is inward'). Let me break it down. She is chocolate in complexion, sightly chubby but not to much someone I can lift.(what's up with this small girls nowadays they all  wanna be skinny.) Perfect shape, everything its where its supposed to be, correct shoe size, good nose structure as well as dental. U know that ka-chich you ogle at when you walking along moi avenue? That's what I have in the house. To add salt to an injury she she can cook. (Dem, what did i do to deserve this). If you haven't noticed...

The unborn Part 2

Half way the journey the bus is full and since we are Kenyans the bus has to Carry excess passages (make me understand how you would get into a full bus and still be conformable to journey on) I brush off that argument and jump online check out what the world is up to. Suddenly the driver decides to blast loud music into our tiny fragile earlobes. Its a miracle I can still hear.(or can someone shout  my name, I may need a new set of ears) Scrolling down on twitter(there is this hashtag #savetheboychild that blowing the internet) and get a good laugh which lights my mood again. 'Ghafla bin voo',(Swahili saying) there is this shadow that clears the sunrays from my face. Am kinda happy but curious on how good the deal it  is. Looking up lord dear lord what did I do to you to deserve this? I went to church last Sunday , gave my offering, what else do you need? There is this lady whose height I can't tell by the big massive tummy. Is she sick or pregnant? Its so big i...

Samantha

 It was one of those Sundays  that the sun decides to rise early than usual. Still in bed trying to decide weather to go to church or not.  I look at her & she gives me that eye, I look up and ask the big guy for forgiveness & get cozy. Time laps and lazily drag my weak legs to the kitchen & make some eggs for breakfast. I go though the DVDs and realize that I need to restock. Since its midday I Carry her to the couch lock the door & head to the movie guy(O.G. entertainment). This guys they  just reopened and I must say they are not the best in the world but they don’t disappoint . On arrival I meet this dude with specs(already chatting with a few customers) we have a quick chat, I get to see a few trailers, then settle for coco the animation, justice league, lifeline sn1, & had to get dear white people sn1 (I think she with like it) It takes him about 10mins to compile that list as we catch up on a few stuff and I ...
