Elvis was eager to live his life worthy of emulation, he didn’t consider the fact he had nothing, but he was satisfied with the little he had.

It was already a month since Elvis had been working in Albert’s Lee’s Cleaning agency, and he had already gotten acquainted with the job and the environment.He had known few places, and he had met different kinds of people with their individual characters.Made a few friends at least, learned how to do so many other things. That same day, mother nature decided to bless the people of Ireland with a rain and a thunderstorm which almost destroyed of people’s properties.It wasn’t what people expected, but at times life doesn’t give you what you deserve.Elvis and a few of his colleagues who went outside work were bitten by the rain and all their clothes were all drenched.But they had no other choice than to continue to drive home.

The next day, Elvis had gone to meet with Sophie Brian, the pharmacist living in his street I told you all about.She checked all possible signs of malaria as she first guessed that was the Sickness Elvis was having, she checked his sugar levels and every other health related issues he was experiencing.The sickness came as a result of accumulated malaria and Stress, She said to Elvis, you really need to take care of yourself. Health first before any other thing, she said once again.I'll write down these drugs for you, please ensure you buy them, and take them. I don't have them here with me and if I'm to go to the hospital to get it for you, the sickness might have knocked you down.Elvis thanked her and left with the prescription that was written on a plain paper, which was handed over to him by Sophie.Elvis next stop was at the supermarket on the other side of the road, where he was directed to buy the drugs by Sophie.As he got there, he met a young man not quite his age, but th

We were actually thinking of how we would get to the bus station to take a ride going to our direction, but thanks to you.But now we wouldn't have to stand in the bus station waiting for a bus.They drove off, soon a
The whole night has been so devastating as the loud noise of Hannah keeps sounding like a drum in my ear. It was so loud that I couldn't sleep, it made me to be awake after all I pleaded that I needed to sleep because I had to go to work.Edward couldn't even get control of his so-called wife, in her word, she was specific about a particular thing to Me!She felt it was time for me to leave her house, besides when I decided to come to Northern Ireland, what was going to be my plan.She made sure I heard those words in other to make me feel so bad. Eventually, it worked out perfectly well for her.I felt so bad that even to eat dinner I had no appetite, even closing my eyes to sleep felt like a battle to be won.She's right, but the fact that she knows I'm an illegal immigrant here should have given her an idea of why I was still leaving under the same roof with her for all this time.I was barely managing from being found out by the police, being caught was the last thing I would real
