THE UNMOVED FIGURE
Today being Wednesday, my school normal routine for the day is to close so late [6:30pm] and nobody has ever care about the fact that I have to walk for over 45minutes before I reach home.
At 6:42pm, I was at the school main gate with Charles who happens to be my class mate and best friend. We started heading home together and not up to 10minutes after we started our journey the cloud begin to formed and lightening of thunder follow suit so we had to increase our walking speed in other to get home on time.
Then suddenly Charles held my left hand down and brought my speeding movement to an untimely halt then pointed his index finger to a static figure about 1 kilometer away from us, the figure just stand there without any form of movement and the continuous lightening of thunder even made it more complicated to identified the figure.
We stand there for over 5minutes without knowing what to do because heading back is not an option as we have nowhere to stay and our parents will have being expecting us at home plus the fact that there is no source of light to aid our navigation since everywhere is already dark.
Then here come our redemption coupled with the greatest fear of our lives as the unmoved figure finally moved and begin to head towards us, we both hold ourselves in fear and wait for the ground to open up and swallow us then suddenly we heard that huge voice “guys let go home now” then we realized that it was my brother Andrew that stand there all this while; the unmoved figure now become our guide home.
