I know am way past the due date but I couldn't pass the chance of giving this prompt a try. I hope you give mine a good read.
Lying on the ground beside him is a green coloured plastic bottle which its mild creamy content was spilled all over the place. There he was, kicking, stretching and flapping his hands from one side to the other.
As bubbles of white foams was oozing out of his mouth like water gushing out of a fountain. As he gasps for breath, he could see his whole life flash before his eyes like a commercial on TV. It was almost as if the call to the afterlife was an inevitable occurrence for him at that moment.
As he was engaged in a tense war of survival, the noise he was making attracted the attention of their neighbour Mrs Ugochi, who was occupied with the domestic chores in her apartment.
She couldn't help herself from trying to find out the source of the thumping and shattering sounds that has enveloped the whole vicinity. As she made her way into the victim's home, she randomly called out the names of the occupants of the house with the hope of getting a response.
"Chinedu!" There was no response.
"Kasie!!" Still no response.
Filled with fear, she decided to follow the direction of the noise to its source. Making her steps quietly, she gradually approached
the source of the noise. The more forward she came, the more louder the noise became.
As she reached the spot where the noise was coming from, there lay Uchenna, the youngest in the family of Mr Odo, struggling for survival.
"Uche! Uche!!" She called out in panic, as she knelt down to grasp the kid in her hands.
As she held onto the kid lost of ideas on how to resuscitate him. Her eyes beheld the green plastic bottle and she saw as its creamy content was splashed around that spot.
At that moment, she knew the kid was in for trouble.
"Oh God! Oh God!!" "What am gonna do now!?" She shouted without referring to anyone in particular.
She rushed to the kitchen to get a towel to wipe the drool of white foams splashed around his mouth....while on that she applied the local herbs she could find around the house as an antidote to curtail the action of the potion to some extent.
After carrying out the traditional medical practice on the kid. she reached for her cell and dialled 911, before the receiver could say "what's the emergency", poor Uchenna have given up the ghost to the chagrin of Mrs Ugochi.
It happened that poor Uchenna was driven by curiosity to know what's the fuss about the content of the green coloured bottle, even after an imperial order by their parents to them not to go near it no matter what.
Mrs Ugochi let out a loud cry.
