http://etisalatprize.com/unforeseen/ Below is an excerpt of the story.............. Nnaemeka Ugochukwu / Nigeria Title: Unforeseen As I step into the house, it’s empty. At least it feels so. I bound up the stairs two at a time and get to the landing. I turn left headed to my studio. I do not hear the sounds at first-maybe because I don’t expect it- but it slowly registers in my consciousness. I turn back and head to the source of the sound; my bedroom. As I get closer, I get this eerie feeling like they do in movies and I feel goosebumps all over. The sound continues; tap tap tap. The house is tiled and I make no sound as I walk towards the door. When I get to the door, it’s ajar. Nothing strange about that. Am not particular about closing doors or bringing down the toilet cover. The sound stops as I touch the door handle. A loud silence envelopes the house. If I were watching a movie, I would probably call the actor a fool for going ahead to enter the room. I open the door. As I step into the room, I receive a heavy shove and I fall headlong on the floor. As I struggle to turn around, my attacker pounces on me. The knife in his hands tries to plunge into my chest. I grab his hands and we struggle for a few seconds. The blade slices my hand and I let go for a fraction of a second. The knife comes racing down towards me. I know am about to die cos my whole life flashes before me. The knife descends. And that’s when the Director yells “Cut!” I heave a sigh of relief. My attacker stands up and helps me to my feet. My name is Tony Adams and am an actor. http://etisalatprize.com/unforeseen/ pls....fellow nairalanders Click d link 2 VOTE for this story...Tanks a lot 4 Likes 1 Share |
