Fiction story 1.
“Mudala get down, get down now” the security guard shouted as he cocked his rifle. when I got down, he had shifted his attention from me to somewhat distant area. He got on a prawn position, whilst hiding his body from the sentry post.
I realised that he was infact motion me to move away from some eminent danger. I changed from squat to prawn and got into a tiger movement towards the sentry booth, just when I was getting closer, ”bang”, nkeche” “bang”, two shots fired, they all passed my head onto some vehicle which was coming from the north direction.
Still not knowing what was going on. I got to where the brave loner guard was firing from, his focus on the silver gray vehicle which was approaching his post at high speed.
A head appeared from the left window of the passenger’s seat, then a weapon showed in the hands of the window clinging man.
He was aiming at me, at least that’s what I saw. I knew I I do nothing, am not reaching home.
I removed the laptop bag off my back, motioned to the guard that we roll to some cover behinds the war fence. The chap fired his weapon, spreading a few rounds in the sentry booth.
The north direction had some vehicles which were coming towards the thieves car. By an inch of an hair, the chap’s managed to swerve and avoided an head on collision… the security guard and I slowly emerged out of our cover to witness the near miss collision.
The security guard raised his weapon again and aimed and “bang”, the rear screen of the run way vehicle scattered… he cocked and his weapon jammed. Some vehicles where honking, they knew nothing of what we had survived… others were shivering from the sound of the guard’s weapon.
It was like in the movie, but now happening real, I asked the guard if I could help help him clear the weapon. He handed it over, and he muttered something on his walkie-talkie.
Sirens 🚨 could be heard from afar, we knew that backup was arriving.
The sirens became louder as the vehicle approached our position. The security vehicle arrived with more guards and similar weapons like the one I was trying to unjam.
I woke up and realised that am supposed to be studying for an exam…
Will dream again after the exams.
