Once upon a time, in a small town called Tukoto, was a lovely family with an hardworking father ( Kito ) beautiful mother ( Namu ) with 3 children, Jane, Mary and me, this is my story.

It was a Monday morning when Dad and I woke up immediately after the cock had crowed to go to the train station and pick up our dear relatives who were coming from town for Christmas, Dad had his bicycle that we used to reach the station on time, the train hadnot yet arrived and so we grabbed a seat on one of the benches as we wait for the train.
As we were at the bench, there came a medicine man with one eye, he said," young boy, your future is darkest and bright, full of suffering," I was scared and am sure Dad was too," don't curse my son," he said as he chased him into the woods.
It was now the time we've been longingly waiting for, the train had arrived and people begun departing, I saw Aunt Nyonza from a distance and I bolted towards her full of joy, when I reached, I hugged her. She had come along with cousin Madara and uncle Kiku.
Unlike other Christmas holidays, this time round they had come along with very big bags full of things we didn't even know that they existed, Dad and uncle Kiku packed the bags on the bicycle and we headed home.
On our arrival, we found mom and the girls roasting maize, they were too excited to see the visitors, they welcomed them with open arms.

"Your son is full of misfortunes, his life is full of suffering, sacrifice him now or else he will be like your great grand father,"said the one eyed man that we met earlier at the train station on top of a tree, this time round, Dad pumped his face to red, with alot of anger chased the man into the woods.

Later in the night, we heard a loud bang at the door, frightened as we were, we moved to see who had broken into the house, in the door, there seated Father, he stood up, turned and looked at us, he was all covered in blood, he was leaping, all he was saying was," I have finished it," WHAT HAD HE FINISHED???????
