Misplace
I went about the room looking for the note where my seed phrase was written. I turned the room upside down. I was devastated and shattered. This was the wallet to my hodling. 5 BCH all gone. 1 year on readcash and 9 months on noisecash all go down the drain. Not only that alone, but I also bought over $100 worth just yesterday.
Where could I have dropped it? I asked myself. I checked the most impossible places a 40 leaves notebook can be. I checked my shoes and even the pots for the misplaced note. I think I’m losing my mind. Who wouldn’t be?. 5 BCH isn’t child’s play. Where do I start from? I don’t think I have the strength in me to start all over again. I should quit and accept fate.
“Have you checked Dad’s drawer?” my kid brother asked me. “Shut up you dumba**” I roared. On second thought I looked at everyone’s face and noticed the amusement what can be so funny?. That was when suspicion set in.
Suspicion
I started suspecting my siblings. I remember seeing Josiah taking his girl to a boutique yesterday. It’s can’t be. He dare not spend my hard earn money. To make matter worse, mum and dad were also smiling and whispering to themselves. My Kid brother was giggling from ear to ear. If I have a gun in hand I won’t hesitate to - pause! I’m exaggerating, but I was infuriated by the actions of the people I called family. Regrets started setting in. I should have written my seed phrase down in several notes. I should have kept it safe. I should have backed up my wallet with my mail. I should have written it on my phone instead of a note.
How could I be so careless?, how could I be so foolish? I could I be so stupid?. I kept n hitting myself hard. My siblings and parents all said they weren’t the one. They were disappointed that I could think of such. I apologized halfheartedly and went out to calm my nerves. My suspicion can't be wrong, can it?.While sitting a call came in from my friend, she called to remind me of the $70 I owed her. “wait! I- Valour owe you $70?” I bemoan.
“Are you joking or what Valour? are you telling me you’ve forgotten so soon?” she replied with a raised voice. The call ended but my heart started racing.
I’m not one to give up easily, I will rise and start again. An article at a time till I get back all that I’ve lost. It might take time but I know I will surely get there.
Straw
It seems all elements in the world has planned to go against me. I dropped the article but over 12 hours rusty didn’t visit it. I got to know it’s a general issue, but why now?. why now that I need money badly. That was the last straw that broke my camel’s back. They say men don’ cry but I’m not ashamed to say I cried. Sorry! That was an understatement, I didn’t cry, instead, I wail. Shamelessly I let the tears flow, It poured out with no control, like a caged dog released from its cage.
No one could console me... I was hungry but my mouth couldn’t take anything in. My eyes were swollen from hours of eyes. Came online to see people celebrating reaching another landmark. What do I say about mine? It seems the number 5 has a significant meaning in my life. I remembered my article about the event when I was given 5 BCH. Maybe this is a dream too. I slapped myself but I felt the pain. “Oh! It’s reality, not a dream” I whispered to no one in particular.
Evaluate
Mum forced me to eat and I never knew I was this hungry. I ate the food with vigour and gulped down the cup of milk with unsaid appreciation. After eating my mum asked me to evaluate where I think the note would be, where I saw it last, and where it is meant to be in the first instance. I sat down and gave it a deep thought. I Evaluated all these as mum advised and I stood up suddenly towards Dad’s drawer. I opened it and there it was -the notebook was right there in the drawer, with remorse I turned to my kid brother and as expected, he gave me the “I told you so stare”. I apologize to the whole family. With joy and gladness I came online and noticed rusty was still away, but who cares?.
White
I opened the note and imported my wallet back onto my device. My 5 BCH is back!. My joy knew no bounds “Let’s start again on a clean slate” I said to the whole family with a pleading eye. “A white clean slate” my brother grimaced.
Wait a sec! A white clean slate. I’ve just succeeded in using the five words. Wow! This is so great. This is my entry to the #PromptFactory organized @meitanteikudo . I generated 5 words and used them in forming a story. Feel free to join guys.

Pardon me
If you’ve noticed right from the first paragraph, you will see hints that the story is fictional and not real.
First, I don’t have 5 BCH, though I almost got it(in a dream. lol). I don't even have half of it yet.
Secondly, I haven’t spent up to a year on this platform and even my noisecash account is 8 months old, not 9 months. My former readcash account is just 7 months old too. So the traces/hints that this story is made up (fiction) are all there.
It seems 5 BCH and I have an unfinished business. When i get it, i will throw a party with all the guests dropping $50 as gate fee.😂
Thanks for Reading!💰💚💰
I really feel for you boss, my seed phase to my first wallet deleted from my phone where I took the screenshot... Till today, even though I don't have too much in there, it's still painful
