Two men

Dear Readers,

On the 15^th of this month, I woke up early as usual to have my early morning jog.  While jogging I noticed two men jogging behind me. I thought nothing of it as it’s quite common to sight early joggers on that street. This I was to regret as I felt a heavy blow on the back of my head and I passed out.

‘’Wake up! Wake up!” These were the words I heard as I gradually drifted back to consciousness. Two men stood above me with half of their faces covered. I looked around the room. It was slightly dark but the room looked dingy and smelt of sweat.

“Good, you are awake”, said the taller of the two men. “Are you the blogger that wrote bad things about DSTV?” “Huh?”, I answered in confusion. What are these men talking about? I wondered in fear. I was slightly relieved at the fact that they had their faces covered. From the numerous films, I’ve seen that’s usually a sign that they intend to let me go.

“Are you not the blogger that runs the website, Wulaatthemovies?”, repeated the man again. “Yes.”, I replied but the words came out muffled and I realized I was gagged as well. The shorter man removed my mouth gag after making a sign to me that if I shout my neck will be cut off.

“Yes, I am” , I replied . “Please let me go.”

“Ok, we will let you go on one condition: Stop writing good things about Netflix, and instead, write good things about DSTV. If not, we will be having this conversation again but with a different outcome.”

“Wole, Wole! Wake up.” My wife’s voice cut through my sub consciousness and I sat up abruptly and realized I was dreaming.

As I stepped out of my house on my way to work, two men walked by me, smiled and murmured. I could swear the words muttered where, “Mr blogger.”

Was it really a dream?
