After 17 years submerged in the dark earth, he is bright-eyed, horny and ready for action. I wouldn't say life was all rosy for Johnny but he had he's fair share.
Pop a janitor at the local school, mum a petty trader at the small market in the community.
The birth of Johnny was a blessing to the family as they were struggling financially but at birth, no one understood where all the gift came from but at the sound of his cry, people strolled into the ward to see the beautiful boy.
Yeah, that's a beautiful for a boy.
Johnny was a fine lad who had the eye and pride of his family. Big dreams they call it in the small town, everyone believing that Johnny would be the best out their from their little town but I guess, the responsibility of being the saviour of the town was overwhelming.
Johnny finished his nursery and primary education with distinction, his parents and community were proud of him as he was their pride.
There was nothing for Johnny to do but be the best as the idealogy was planted in him from birth. Bagging a scholarship to study outside their town, Johnny was able to perform excellently but had the eye of every female that came across him .
Is that his shine or luck?
I guess we would never tell because that was all it was for Johnny, having a fill to the brim.

Now Nike and Johnny met when he wrote his final exam at the international school.
Nike changed his life for the best and Johnny couldn't contend as he had the support of his parents and community and now, a newly found life with Nike.
Shit, I have never seen a fish catching kitty before, the words that spilled out of Nike's mouth as Johnny took her to his quiet place, out in nature with Mowa, his cat.
It's been two weeks after the final exam and Johnny was neither ready to go home nor leave Nike's side, it was like he had waited for this moment all his life to feel what pop and mum felt for each other as he heard all of their stories that they would always tell Johnny about.
Is this what life is all about? Johnny puzzled.
There's more to life than whatsoever we make of it, Nike replied as they laid next to each other, while Mowa was hunting for fishes in the shallow lake.
Mowa had the best time than Johnny and Nike who spent their time next to each other, puzzling "what lies after now."
Nike had been raised in a bigger town than the big town they were schooled. She only came here due to a scholarship and met Johnny just in SSS2, not a long time if you ask.
Nike thought, Oh! What a beautiful, charming and intelligent boy, the rest remains history now.
Mowa was already done fishing and began eating some fishes already.
It's time to make fire let's dry these fishes that wonderful Mowa brought us, Nike said while tapping Johnny to go make the fire.
Obviously, she was famished.
They had been there the previous day and are only back at Johnny's quiet place because Nike loved it there and wanted to come again.
Johnny had to make the fire quick because the sun was now at its highest peak, the heat and humidity in the area was a wonder to Nike, a different experience today than the previous day.
The fish is ready, Nike jubilated as Johnny signalled her to come have a bite of what Mowa got for them.
Nike definitely not a cat lover but Mowa had made her change her perception, she now believes that cats are the best pets ever, well I'd agree with her because Mowa was no ordinary cat. She was always in the presence of Nike, like her owner.
It was time for them to take their leave as it got dark sooner than the previous day.
Nike had stayed back for two weeks, same as Johnny, they were done with studies and needed time with each other.
Tomorrow would mark a new beginning for them both as they'd be returning to their parents and Nike for Nike, a bigger town and for Johnny and Mowa, a small town.
