Contest:"Horror @purpleidy23"

Hello everyone, trust you had an amazing day? Life has been so funny and filled with terrible moments lately and I appreciate @drhira for coming up with this contest who we could air and also get over it. It was on Wednesday, around the early hours of the morning around 5:30am when I went to fetch water in order to prepare and leave early for school as I had an early morning class and the lecture hall is usually not enough for students so in order to secure a seat for yourself, you need to prepare and leave the house early so you'd get into the hall and secure a spot for yourself.

When I stepped out to fetch water, I saw a packed tricycle with two hefty men in it and immediately they saw me, they drive towards my direction and I fled for my life. I ran like I have never before, I didn't know how the rubber I had in my hand disappeared and I was left with just a leg of my footwear when I got home. My instincts told me, my friend's shop was being robbed but I neglected and didn't even mention what had happened to my friend when I got home. I wasn't feeling myself, I knew something was off so I went out again, this time without a rubber not footwear, I tiptoed yo my friend's store using another route and when I got there, my friend's shop was being robbed and I ran back to inform my friend about it but was caught by those men in the tricycle.

I was beaten to stupor and a gun was pointed to my head, I couldn't believe that this was actually happening in real life. I begged for my life but the more I begged, the more strokes I received on my back. I cried and screamed but no help came because everyone is scared of coming out in such scenario. Once our street was robbed, a student was shot to dead and that was because he dragged his phone with the robbers so since then, everyone decided to mind their business in order not to lose their life. I was bundled and thrown out at the entrance of our street and I screamed and cried for help.

Some passerbys took me to the hospital and also informed my friend about the state the saw me and the hospital I was admitted to, hr came and told me how everything was taken out of his shop. He didn't stop at night, he went on to blame me for not being a prayerful partner saying if I was prayerful, I would've gotten a revelation before the incident happened. I could believe my ears, I tried to bear the pains and wished that it was all a night mare but this was reality and I couldn't escape it. I was discharged some days later and I went back to my house to rest and heal and my friend came to ask for forgiveness, and also said all he said was from a place of anger because I didn't want to believe he'd be starting from square one again after putting in all he had to create something for himself. I sent him out of my house without wanting to hear more from him.

That resulted to him taking whatever he thought was best to take him out of the world to somewhere he won't feel pains anymore. I was dead struck when I saw pictures of my dying friend all over social media and had to immediately put a call across to him but someone else picked directing me to the hospital though I wasn't chanced to go there immediately, I did when I was free and hopefully he responded well to treatment before I got there and had to stay with him throughout his stay in the hospital. This is more than just horror, I lack words to describe how May treated me but since I survived it, I'll survive the remaining months of the year and more years to come. Till now, I get frightened each time I remember it and don't know how to move past it. I won't fail to invite my friends @bela90, @joychi102 and @kinglekara to participate in this contest. A big shout out to @drhira for pulling this up, much respect.
