I start my day by taking a bath and praying. I listen to the news while I have my breakfast, then I get dressed for work, and always kiss my wife and my children before leaving the house - everyone here does the same these days, because everyone knows when they leave home that they may not return.

In just the blink of an eye, my whole life will have ended for nothing. Hot shrapnel will hit me, I suppose, and I wonder if I will even hear the explosion. I wonder what it would be like for bullets to tear through my body.

Every day this is how the living imagine the way in which they will die. And being blown up is only one of a long, long list.

God knows how much I fear motorbikes, especially the fast ones, with two riders.

One of them drives the motorbike and the other one fires from a pistol equipped with a silencer.

The memory of the remains of the university professor assassinated by shots to the head in precisely this way will never leave me.
 
Life is hard

i start my day by scratching my arse , then i consider getting out of bed. once i am out of bed i sit myself at the computer and with effort click my first click of the day which happens to be on this occasion a forum i like to read.

After 30 minutes of this i get hungry for breakfast , to actually get breakfast i hope for enough energy to shout for someone to make it, usually my mother as its her i shout first , this process takes me another 30 minutes.

It is now 3pm and i have just finished my breakfast and i start to think about heading downstairs but first i must get dressed. This is sometimes problematic as clean clothes are a rarity and even more rare for them to be any other place other than the floor.

6:30pm and finally i am ready for the day,i start to leave the house and waving off my mother, as a vocal farewell is pointless as it would be drowned out by her swearing and screaming which is directed at me.

7pm, i arrive at my place of operation, a lad i know who i am in business with , we talk and share ideas on how to maximize the business and i leave with the weekly 3 ounce bag of skunk i have to sell.

7:05 pm, i start to smoke the skunk and after 10 minutes of this i forget everything important and wonder why they don't make an up to date version of rainbow or lets pretend.


4am Moments have passed and i must leave this park before mr sun shines. i walk to my house and open the door and i can see that woman again at the top of the stairs shouting, its almost like she was on repeat, its uncanny.


4:30 i am finally now in bed getting my well needed rest and thoughts from the day are beginning to fade away, fade away f a d e a w a y zzzzzzzz
