“The Heavy Hospital bed” by Karubembe Junior

"Thank you, God.Thanks an awful lot"I whispered to myself. "You must rise again, junior” The inner voice kept repeating itself in my head. I had had a couple of sleepless nights and of course some little long-tireless daytime. This Sunday morning, I woke up with a lousy altitude but I could still feel the "vibrant Karubembe" in myself. I lay straight as a yardstick on a couch, not giving it a single inch of my own self. My left feet protruded stiffly over the edge. My face was dull, wrinkled and hopeless, a sign of a man enduring necessary h...

"Hello..."The voice called from the outside of my small house. On checking my watch,it was exactly 9:45p.m.I had fallen asleep on my wooden-made chair around 45 minutes ago while watching the football match between Manchester United and my football team,Arsenal. I rose up sluggishly and went to check who was knocking on my door at that time of the night. On opening the door,I was astonished to meet David looking weary and helpless. David was a 10 year old boy who survived on the mercies of my neighbours. His parents separated while he was 4 ...
