It was a new moon night. As I was walking through the forest of the Amazon, I found myself disguised completely as a new person. That day I came to know who I actually was.

It wasn't too long that I left my family and came to live the rest of my life as a hermit. But after all I was not a fearful person. I too didn't have to think a lot about the way of living as I wasn't so extravagant and was able to survive with even a chunk of food for a whole day. Being brought up in Zimbabwe which is economically not well established, I suited myself up with the jungle life.

I thought that life would be too easy here. But the strange thing which happened to me, would never bring up in someone's life the idea of living in a forest and leaving back all the luxuries of life.

As I slept one day being tired in the forest under the hardwood tree one day after a long day's work in the forest settling all the thing up which would make my life easier , nobody was there to wake me up. Suddenly I woke up to my surprise finding thereby that it was almost midnight and I did not even have my food that day. In a hurry I started running down the path till I fell in front of my cottage, if I could say it a cottage. It was covered by a cloth of a different colour and I saw few men inside the cottage as I peeped through the curtains which too were not mine. They were talking in a hoarse voice. I heard them say if my ears weren't cheating me, 'We will then mince him and chop him into pieces and thus our work would be successful.

Hearing them I started running but I could visualize only dark and dark and dark.
