A slap from the local vigilante sent a signal to my head that something was wrong up there.
It took me three days before i could recover from this severe headache.

When i got to the clinic, the attendant asked me how i was feeling and i started explaining what happened to me starting from the vigilante's saga.
Everyone started laughing at me as i was confidently explaining to the doctor. After explaining how i got it and how i was feeling, He took me into the ward and then administered some drugs to me then i slept off. After a peaceful sleep, I was ready to go because i was already feeling better. I went to meet the doctor, he told me that I was having the headache as a result of the stress i was going through.

I left for my hostel...
