The Great Coming.
And so the **race** started, it took me a while to **understand** why and what was **chasing** us. Could you believe that Ikem was running with us and as we were fast on our heels, I noticed a lot of people **joining** in this race of **uncertainty**. **I saw the pregnant woman running with her belly as a wedge to her effort.** Even that blind man that stays by the gate did not understand what was happening but as they say, **it is better to be far from it than to be there when it happens,** he ran as fast as he could but his legs were unable to give him **Sight.** The ***funniest*** part was that the mad man that stays in the **market square,** always **chasing** people around was seen **standing**, **laughing** and not running away from this **impending** **doom**. **Could it be madness or is it because he has been running everyday?** Help!.. help!.. that was what he was shouting. Oh the life of a **crippled man.** ***Now I understand why they say that an announced battle does not eat the head of a cripple.*** **These and many other things were buzzing through my mind as I was scampering for shelter.** **Even in all our effort we couldn't run away from its heavy stamping boots.** Oh! what a day of **wetness**. **It's thundering and clapping sound echoed so loud in our ears.** ***Yes it rained cat and dog, but for every man his share was limited to how fast he ran for shelter.*** **It rained, yes it rained.**
