Finally I'm done with my cooking and not a moment too soon, now I can finally chill and read. I walked out of the kitchen to chill outside where the wind is cool. I sat down to read the latest chapters of Heros of Amadrala. It's a basic Fantasy novel of its nature thought what pulled me into it was the character work and the story progression so far has been well, though the author has not been updating it as frequently now and said he'll be on hiatus for a while.
I heard my neighbour calling my name, I looked over the fence and she's not there. She shouts my name again and I see her standing by her door. Come over here please hurry. I got up and put my phone down and ran over. I climbed over the brick fence in seconds and jumped over to her side, what is it? I need you to get rid of a spider in here, it's in the kitchen and it's big. It hid behind the fridge. I walked in the house n moved to look behind the fridge, and there it was. WTF since when are there spiders this big around I could help ask to no one. Makwa fa can you borrow me a broom or rake. I slowly pulled the fridge away from the wall checking to see if it moved.
Here she called out to me and took it and tried to trap the spider with it. PA! the broom hit the floor but it was gone moving away, it tried to go under the fridge. I blocked it off and it climbed on the wall, I raised the broom and caught it this time trapping it with the brooms bristles.
Borrow me a container quickly, don't worry I have it caught right now. She peeked her head at the door and saw the spiders legs poking out of the broom, and sighed in relief. She walked over to the cupboard and opened it, which one do you want?
Give me the ice cream one and its lid. I took it and moved closer to spider then I put it under the thing and rolled it in.
I dropped the broom and closed the closed the lid. Done, thanks for calling me I will bring back this tomorrow. I walked out and umped over the fence again took the container and walked back home with it. I took a bigger transparent Tupperware and put it in there then I loosely closed the lid keeping enough space for air to flow. I took it to store away in the garage for now, don't want my brother finding it freaking out.
I lit the garage and walked in avoiding the weights and junk scattered around the floor, I looked for a place to put it on the other side. these will do, I put it down and as I turned to and started to walk out the lights went out. Bloody Eskom I tried to pull my phone out of my pocket then remembered I left it outside, fuck. I gingerly felt out my steps as the garage was now pitch black, I took steps then disaster stroke. Ah! I stepped on something and it rolled throwing me off balance, I fell down fast and I felt something hard collide with my head then lights out.
When I woke up, I was in a dark space, I couldn't move or see anything around me. It was just darkness all round, I tried to move but nothing. Is this a dream, no I never had or heard of a dream like this. Did the fall put me in a coma I remember my head hitting something hard when I fell. If I'm in a coma then who took me there? did they come back and find me there, which hospital am I in.
I wonder how long they will keep me on, I know we don't have health insurance, but I told them to just pull the plug if it's getting too much. Wait what if I'm dead, is this what happens after you die, just dark emptiness. How will I be here, will I just vanish after time. Why couldn't this be like the other religions and ended up with my ancestors on the other side or be in heaven or something or maybe this is hell, this is how we suffer in darkness for eternity.
.Things stayed the same as I was, and it felt like days had passed while I was in darkness. I stopped panicking and thinking of what happened, this place has no sense of time so I had no idea how long I've been here. Soon I was starting to loose sense of myself and had to keep going int memories to keep myself and not stay bored.
When I stopped that I even started recalling the books I've read and tv shows I watch. Singing, thinking up fairy tales, I kept myself busy and it just felt like years were passing by with nothing happening to me. Then things started to change, I started to feel something on my body if I still one. Then more time went by and I started hearing sounds as well. I could feel a spark of hope trying to ignite in me. Maybe I am in a coma and I'm starting to recover. The sounds weren't clear but there something out there, after a sometime I felt something push against me.
Is this it did they finally decide to let me go, I thought having lost all hope for everything. Then I saw light, huh what the hell is going on. I said but all I heard was a baby crying, I tried to look around but everything was blurry fuck I cursed before going out again. I woke up again to find something in my mouth, I was instinctively sucking on and something warm ran into my mouth. Oh dam I'm a baby aren't I, I sold myself well probably better than the darkness. Then days went by like this, feed sleep, shit. It was very boring like this and I spend my time thinking and recalling as of before.
