STORY: CONFESSION OF A TEENAGER (Episode 1)

My name is johnpaul.You may be wondering why i want to take my life to end it all.yes,i
have made up my mind to take my life,to be free.

To be free from everything.

The pains and the shame.Some certain circumstances in this world has made me a
changed person.A changed person on the evil side.

I am going to tell you how it all began.

My problem began the day my father brought home a fourteen-inch television set, and a video
disc player that was silver
coloured. I was ten years old, about leaving primary school.I was happy,knowing that we now have a television
in our house,though my father
didn’t allow us watch the
television most of the time.

“go inside and read your books”he always said.

I once heard kenneth whisper
to kelvin”he would soon leave
for one of his business trip.we
shall see if he will carry the
television with him”

Our father returned from a
business trip only a month ago
and everyone knew he would
soon embark on another
business trip.I wondered when
he would put and end to those
business trips of his
After dad left for his business
trips we were
already used to, the two pieces
of electronics
became Kenneth’s property. He
was the first child
of the family. He knew how to
operate the TV and
VCD-player so well as though
he worked in the factory where they were manufactured.

In no time, Kenneth and Kelvin who is also my elder brother, started bringing home movies which were mostly Hollywood movies we commonly
called “American films.”
After dinner every evening,
they would slot the
disc in and we all would sit down
and watch the pictures on the screen like faithful believers
listening to the pastor.

Only Kenneth, Kelvin and
Osarugue, my only elder sister,
sat on the dirty
brown sofas we had then. The
rest of us pinned our soft
buttocks to the hard floor.
……………
But i never knew what was coming my way.
