Star struck

I cannot remember which match it was but I remember he sped like an Okada. He was one of the reasons I started watching football. I listened to Brilla FM and read Complete sport just to know how he was doing. I spoke about him as if we were related. I remember hurrying out of my GCE Mathematics examination just to watch the World Cup qualifier. Even though he scored twice we did not qualify. When he moved to England and my team played against his team, I could not decide whether to support Chelsea or Newcastle. When I had the opportunity to travel, I would look around for him at the airport – waiting to get a photograph with him that I can finally put it up with a caption – Guess who was star struck today? @asakeokin 11/2/2017   ___________________________________________ This post was inspired by the @africanwriters February challenge - day 10 title is Star struck.

New beginnings

There was no sunshine or moonlight. I am certain there were no stars. I could hear sounds, but it seems far away. It was always dark, and I wanted to leave every day but at the end of the day I find myself exactly where I started. Today I decided to run. I kept running till I reached a dead-end, previously I would have turned back but today, I decided to hit the surface that always prevented me from going further. I thought it was a hard wall and I would get injured but surprisingly it was a wooden door and I broke it down. For the first in a very long time, I watched the sunset, the moon glow and the stars glittering. Today is my new beginning, the day I decided to break the top of every tunnel so that whether it is sunny, the moon is out, or the stars are shining I can always find my new beginning. @asakeokin ___________________________________________ This post was inspired by the @africanwriters February challenge - day 9 title is New beginnings.
