Scary Tale of a Lone Black KidPaul Onuh © Copyright 20221 by Paul Onuh |

All the same, I gave this creepy but striking creature of nature a space of about two meters. All through that period, beads of sweat gathered up at my fore head, as I stood on the spot like a statue, right at the middle of the road. At that point, a cold chill ran through my spine, like one under a shock therapy. Thence, I held tight unto my breath like a piece of log, until the reptile crept out of sight. So far, I felt goose bumps all over my body, looking dazed by the sheer size of such a cold-blooded predator. When of a sudden, some sort of strength sprang into my body, right there. At that minute, I took to my heels down home, dashing along the way in a flash. Letting out a deep sigh from the comfort of my living room, I pondered: at long last, I am out of the goddamn woods.
It was so scary to have bumped into a lethal reptile, that had a length of over two meters, from head to tail. Even as a little kid, in real life. Perhaps, that snake did not take note of my presence. If otherwise, it did not see me as threat in any case. Hence, it crawled away—without any cause for an attack.
Anyways,
it was an odd day,
I just can't let
go off my mind for donkey's years. Instead, a still voice in my head
keeps telling me, 'you're saved by the miracle of the Most
High God'. To this day, I
feel overjoyed being
alive to share this mind-blowing tale. For dead men tell no
tales.
