I held my belly tight, more kicks came. The next one harder and more faster than the last. He was wearing boots, hard boots that could dig holes in the ground, it hit my ribs, I heard some cracks, I felt as if I had been stabbed with a dagger, multiple times. More painful heart drilling kicks came. If only I could act fast and forget about the situation. But I was torn between shielding more kicks from hitting my abdomen and opening myself just to stretch and reach my gun, if only I could get my gun, aside from that I had no power over Hensley, he could literally kick me to death. My gun was between my belt and my trouser. If I could reach back. If I could just act fast and pull my gun from my belt, I would be saved. As I pulled my hand back it gave Hensley more space and he kicked me harder. I groaned, this was the worst day of my life but hopefully it would be the end of my suffering. I spat out blood impulsively. And I felt for my belt, I reached the tip of my gun a

I was outside, in my front yard mixing my left over turmeric powder with garlic marsh in a small bowl when I heard a distant shout. I stopped what I was doing to listen. I observed that it was getting closer and it was filled by hard footsteps. Sharp hard footsteps.Finally the figure came into view and yes it was running towards me. Of course I could see the figure but my eyes couldn't lay down the necessary details, I could see that he was male, but who?.I had to wait for the person to draw closer before I would know who it was. I used to have an excellent eyes sight, but unfortunately age was making it detoriate, although it was happening slowly, it was still happening never the less and this event was evidence that yes, my eye sight was going down. My eye sight had once been good, not that it wasn't good now, it was very unusual for a man my age to have such an excellent eye sight, but it was very good before. I dropped my bowl on the small wooden table,

“Noa, you have a big heart and the universe has a big gift for you. I'm going to help you save this stranger, just because of your goodness, and I'm happy to know that in the process I'll save you and your mother.“ I told him and I saw a tear slip from his eyes.“Thank you, thank you very much, this means so much to me."

You might not know it now but mother nature smiles upon you and those that blesses you are blessed, I'm blessed because of you, so I'm going to thank you. Wait for me here, I'll get my bag and we can leave." I told him. I only just took notice of his black bag, the one he carried at his back, probably not his, it must be that of the stranger. But I wouldn't ask him, the bag looked good on him. He always dominanted things, Noa. I smiled as I walked away to get my bag. I went Inside and I took my bag from my room. “Come let's go." I told him but he was already going. I smiled at his meekness, he had a h

I walked to a place that I would enter a cab and go to my hotel. As I was walking the thought Crossed my mind, I had to change hotels. The hotel I was currently staying in was cheap. It wasn't made for people like me, it was made for the lower class people. I had to go in search for one, it wouldn't be hard to spot it. Or better still I could ask around.I walked to a cab.“Good afternoon." I said to the man. He looked at my eyes and then his focus went to the left side of my face and it came back to my eyes before it stayed on the left side of my face. He was examining it.“Do you need a hospital?."

“My work here is done." The medicine man said taking his bag from the bedside table. “If mother nature permits, he lives. The medicine I gave him is very active and it works fast.

Hopefully it's still there.“I told Noa." I'm worried.“ He said " I'll be careful you don't have to worry about me. “ I told Noa. " Okay brother, I'll be here when you return.“ He said smiling.

It was night time already. I had eaten the soup that Kai had prepared. He offered his bed to me but I had refused. I felt pity on him and I felt that I had taken something from him, I couldn't take more. I layed on the cold hard floor staring into the darkness and listening to the distant crickets as they sang. I couldn't sleep, no matter how I tried I couldn't sleep. Maybe I was trying too hard and I had to stop trying. I sat up and I wondered what I would do next. I decided to think about the future. I Imagined walking outside until the darkness captured me and took me into nothingness. I layed on the chair and I stared at the ceiling. The moon light was sneaking through the spaces in the window and the small streaks of light cast a soft glow upon our fairly furnished living room. What would it be like to live in the big cities. How would I want my house to be like. I was thinking when eventually I fell asleep and I was held captive by one of tho

I got to the airport and I boarded a flight to Detroit. I flew FirstClass. People would turn to me and see that my face was bandaged, they looked at me with pity not with disgust. If only they saw my real face. By the time we had landed in Detroit, I could feel the cringing hands of pain griping my face, not just my face my whole head was wheeling with pain and my neck too. It was those types of pain that aches the whole body and made it tense. By the time I got home it was night time.I and Bridgette weren't living in the hills no more. We had moved down to the place where the middle class lived. But sooner we would be out of the damned place. When I got home Bridgette was fast asleep. She knew that I was arriving home, so she had dropped the key under the door mat. We had a door mat, all the while I've been alive I never had a door mat, mansions don't have door mats. I bent to take the key from the door mat and I felt the rush of blood as I stood up.

I pushed the chair aside and I walked out of the door. Deep within me I knew that I wanted to hear something from him, a reaction not a well-thought-upon response. As I closed the door to his study, I slowed down my hand, maybe he could whisper goodbye to me. But he didn't do that. I walked through the hall way still trying to listen if he would shout a farewell message to me. But I heard nothing but the sound of my shoe clicking on the hard floor...I walked out to find Jack standing in front of the car.“Hey Jack." I said approaching him. Jack was tall, about six foot five. I wondered how he grew so tall. He'd been my family driver since I was age eleven and he never seem to age. He'd always drive me to school and then he'd always pick me up from school. Today he was driving me off to the university and he wasn't coming to take me back home. Was it true what my dad had said. Was it true that I didn't know how to do anything on my own. I was definitely going
