Adventurers are heroes. I may not have first hand experience but at least that's what I grown to learn. Engrossed with this thought and hunger for fame, I decided to set out for my own adventures.
Since my place is quite near to the blue river of Azumini, Abia state, I considered the river.
With a journey of almost an hour, something kept whispering to me that I'm about to make a fool of myself, that adventure is dangerous. The danger makes it more fun I kept countering my instincts.
The lush vegetation and crystal blue river made the place resemble the Caribbean sea. "Oh! Capt. Jack Sparrow d second is here" I boasted to all those who cared to listen. I told them the prizes I've won from swimming.
I explained all I learnt from Physics, the law of flotation, buoyancy in fluid, upthrust... And everyone got thrilled. He will make the best swimmer amongst us, I heard a voice from the crowd cheer me.
As I stepped into the cold blue river, it gave me a scintillating and sweet feelings. Little did I know that there's difference between theory and practical. Little did I know that I'm on the verge of playing fast and furious with my life and my egungun has run to express 😂😂
One small boy pushed me inside to check my skills and even ran away bcoz they were playing pursue game. I tried screaming for help, the more I did the more gulp I took. I fell like lead into what I may consider a bottomless sea, with struggle that lasted for few minutes, I was lucky to push my legs against the river floor.
A hand picked my collar and dragged me back to life. Instead of those little imps to feel sorry, they burst into uncontrollable laughter, dramatising all what happened.
Anyone who saw my reddish eyes would think I finished the strongest Jamaican fresh weed.
Na so swimming take end for me o. Till today the only water I love is the one inside cup or maybe bucket.
When I arrived home, I wrote in my diary "Today I survived shipwreck and was marooned in the island of blue sea. And my next adventure will be in the Bermuda 😂😂😂😂
