BAD DOSAGE EPISODE 01

I used to think I was interesting person, but I must tell you how sobering a thought it is to realise your life’s story fills about thirty-five pages and you have, actually, not much to say. Life is the funny thing that happens to you on the way to the grave.

The only thing I regret about my life is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I’d make all the same mistakes- only sooner. Life is a shit sandwich and every day you take another bite.

It was six o’clock and the church bell is ringing, birds wheeling, cats meowing, and people ready to meet the lord to worship. This was a great day for Festus a twenty-eight year old guy. He lived a single through his life. He had chances to date but he chose his education first. He works in one of the biggest companies in Takoradi.

After his master’s education, he decided to look for a lady to date and marry. Through his search and endless prayers, he met Suzy, a banker. Suzy has worked as a banker for more than two years and done with her first degree in the University of Ghana. She has dated severally from class three but currently not dating.

She knew the pros and cons in dating and has vowed to make her last date lead into marriage. Their dating started very well when Festus started saving at her bank. He loved the smile she gave him anytime he comes to the banking hall. She sometimes helps him leave fast by calling him from the queue, and helping him in his transaction.

One day, he asked her out and she agreed to it. They had fun at the beach, discussing about work and telling each other something about themselves. The chemistry was working very well as the days goes by. They met every weekend to have fun and realise some of the stress they’ve been through at work.

Things were the same and Festus hasn’t proposed marriage to her. She felt things were going to be the same as some of the guys who came around her. She has been disappointed several times and seeing one coming was no exception with Festus.

On the phone:

‘’Swydy, please can you meet me at Hill Chris Plaza?’’ Festus asked.

‘’Sure I will be there in twenty minutes time’’ she replied.

‘’Okay dear, I will be waiting for you then’’ he added.

He taught she won’t honour his invite because; it was eleven o’clock in the evening and it’s very late.

Suzy took a taxi and went straight to the plaza. She saw some people dancing and drinking at the spot. Because she was afraid, she left her phone in the house to avoid any robbery. She stood there wondering where Festus was. She moved from one end to the other but never saw him.

She held her purse hard. Her sparkling dress caught the attention of everybody in the plaza. She noticed people were looking at her, which made her heart to beat and circulate all over her body. Fear was now in her eyes.

As she took a step, she felt someone was walking behind her. She felt a tap on her shoulders. She started panicking with goose bombs all over. The hand was very heavy for her shoulders to carry. She slowly turned to see the person....
