I HAD A DREAM(IN THE LAND OF FEARS)


I HAD A DREAM (In the Land of Fears)
By Abdul King Article

I wasn’t a traitor neither a deceiver, even if I was, truly I can’t recall the actual reason why and when I had been to this crime. My life was sometimes boring for a reason I don’t know yet what it was, My name is Jack, Jack Donsel. I had worked for a company that called themselves Dancers Association. Of course I am a great dancer and also among the top players in my basketball team, we called the team Young Tigers, never have such thought like I am the only skilful tiger in the team, there are so many like me only that my skills is worst than all and that was what definitely defined me. As I am telling you this story now, I am no more working to these two teams, I was expelled for a reason I don’t know and can’t depict any scene behind it.
” Something must be inside you man, a man like you was never reported to fall in such agony, but now look at you, no money, no work, no girls no nothing. You are just living in solitude filled with distraught feeling.” Said Henry as he stepped near Jack holding a cup of beer. Jack show no indication of listening to what was spoken by his friend. His face was absolutely in worry and his strength is now reducing for lacking some appetite, he stood up gazing his friend for a few second with no word before he proceed to slow ambulation heading to toilet. He walked passed Henry slowly like a pregnant woman, Henry was totally shocked because he knew his friend was really bold and courageous, but it seemed for now that glory has left the poor Jack for a very long time. Quickly ran Henry grabbing Jack who moved in slow motion gasping weakly tying to fall. Henry helped him up, he took him to his room where he lay him down the bed.
” Okay dude, now I am asking you to let me know what’s inside you, this is not you man, the real Jack I knew was vibrant not a lazy ass. And… ”
” -Just keep quiet.” Jack interrupted.
” Unless you tell me the shit inside you before you can get some more silent.” Henry respond.
” Please Kindly move your ass out of here, you are fucking concerned with a matter of not yours.” Jack shouted in sorrow.
” Yes, and that was the persona of a good friend:To concerned and involved in a matter of not his.” Henry respond vibrantly. ” Now tell me about your girl Claire?”
” Just keep it shut, her whereabout is not your concerned and never was, if you can please excuse me I will appreciate it.” Jack spoke reluctantly.
” Okay I will leave.” Henry took some step before he turned back. ” And that will be if only I wish.” He sank down gulping some wine inside his tummy. ” You once told me about a girl named Claire, about the dream you had, the dream in the land of fears, but do you know what? Truly I never believe ya. And I don’t think what you spoken could make any sense. So now can you erase my expectation by giving a rational account about your sudden event?”
” No, you don’t need to know about this, you don’t need to.” Jack said scratching his hair.
” Look, I am just trying to help you out but that can only be if you tell me about your sudden event.” Henry dropped the bottle and stood up. He walked toward the bed and sat on a chair next to it. ” You see Jack, I once had this character of yours in the set of my events. And I solved it by writing the whole of it in my diary. I gave the diary to my grand dad as I am in need of the solution. He read it fully and gave me a reliable feedback. A reliable feedback I am using till date which made me never to come encounter of such situation. So for now I am asking you to tell me about it, no matter what it was I promised I will never reveal it to anyone. ”
Most at times I thought about having a normal life I was in before I started to fall unto this terrifying situation of mine. Henry sounds a nice person to me and this made me able to have depicted some of the prevalence of my disgusting paranormal life. It started with a lady called Claire, we met in Mexico before I came back to New York as one of the best tiger of my team. In that era I never know who Henry was. We never get in touch to know each other……
My life in Mexico was honourably beautiful, I got a lot of time for my girls at the beach and also I am enjoying the service of my team Young Tigers. I was the best player of that team and this gave me the opportunity to have much money, many girls and available job vacancies. I am always busy as I am always called upon to depend my team from the attack of the opponents. Ten of us were selected by our team to move to Mexico so as to represent the team in International League. I was chosen a temporary captain by the team in this journey. We made it safe to Mexico around 9:47 PM. We launched a hotel after we paid some cash, a very nice hotel as everything is cleaned and arranged in orderly form. My optimal friend of that time was a lady named Sarah, she was among my team members and also possessed some aspect of hot skills, Sarah was a beautiful long haired lady who like wearing jeans and shot shirt as her favourite attire. Most men of my team showed interest in her but truly she defy all, she chose none but me and I chose none but her. We always live happily as she was among the type that like much jokes, I am also that type but truly solitude life is my best life even at that time.
Every one of us slept with his partner till morning, early in the morning we were awaken by our Comrade to take some preparation, it seemed for now we are moving to arena because that will be a suitable place to practise our skills with no disturb. We were led by the Comrade because none of us know about this new city. He led us to arena and showed us all the necessary things we shall know as the representative of Young Tigers. The arena is very large, there are so many compound in which each and every team is to be giving one before the time for the league started. After they introduced us into our dormitory. I took the bed closer to my girl Sarah so that we can spent more time together, next to me is the bed of a fat guy who was not much in friendly manner with me. We fought several times while we were in New York before we made it here. As most of my team members were outside chilling a bit. I was there in the dormitory enjoying the service of some games. The fat guy came in with no perception of his coming into my mind as I am busy playing the game in my phone. My girl Sarah was in the toilet doing something like excretion. I thought that was what brought the fat guy too but truly I don’t know.
He tried to open the toilet, she warned him not to because she was not done, the solid matter inside his tummy is so heavy that he can’t stand it anymore, he broke the rule by impelling her out nakedly and that was when I perceived the happening between them. I gradually turned wild, I broke the door and get in where I saw him naked. We fought gigantically and later we were sort out by our Comrade. They punished us accordingly to what we did:we have no dinner for that night. But thank God I had a girl who love me much, she brought her food to me and we ate together. The fat guy too was saved by his girl if not he will have sleep with that anxiety and hungry. My honour as a captain was ceased and gave to a fresh man who can handle it regularly with respect. I never care about that as I knew I am among the top players of my team so I must play no matter what happened. our Comrade had a lady, a Mexican she is, she often visit him regularly for the night sex and when ever they are done she used to give me one kind look that has no meaning.
I used to take up my training in the night at the field closer to comrade’s room. I knew they are doing nothing in that room but sex. And the look she usually gave me after she came out of his room was definitely different. I don’t know what she mean but I always hope to. It happened one day while the Comrade was entirely absent, the harlot waited for him for a very long time but unfortunately he never come. As I was busy taking my training she came out looking at me with a remarkable smile. I stopped the game and took some step near her.
” Is there anything I can do for you?” I asked.
” Yes, can I joint the game?” She asked too.
” Yea why not!” I spoke in astonishment, my only thought upon this girl was that she can only be good in sex not game, she was slim and beautiful just like my Sarah. She was really looking more of harlots than gamers. Her appearance and characters is what defined her toward my mind, and if I was to recommend her I will say let her continue being a harlot than becoming a gamer.
” Okay can you throw the ball?” She asked.
I threw her the ball wondering what she was planning to carry out in this very night. She bent and squeezed the ball before she raised it up using her legs. I was killed by surprised but later I thought it was nothing beautiful to praise about.
” Can you challenge me?” She asked eagerly.
” Yea why not!” I respond with smile on how could a lady challenge a great and one of the best Young Tiger player like me. She bounced the ball in a twisted direction and went directly to the net for score. I ran forward to get hold of her but cleverly she escaped. Before I can move my legs she had enforced the ball down the net and that is 1-0
I gave her an applause as admiration for this great wonderful job, but never worry girl we are only starting. She held the ball for the second time engaging in a rapid twisting I had never seen in my life. I tried to concentrate so as to know where for defence but seemingly the thing is beyond my power, with her fast motion she made it to the net and that is 2-0
No, i can’t believe it. Did she just won! I can’t believe this idiot can play like this. I stood again for the third time but still it was contemptuous, with her clever magical skills she get the next score stirring me with shame and disgrace. Then after the third score she gave me the ball to try my luck. I gave it a well try but the lucky mood wasn’t with me, she defended and collected the ball skillfully before she proceed to the fourth score. She gave me the ball again but still I fail. The game was terminated after she scored 6 while I have 0. She laughed giggly looking at me triumphantly. I knew today is not my lucky day. I took a promised that I will one day revenge it. This is how I began to have affair with this harlot secretly without letting my Sarah to know about it. Not only Sarah even the Comrade was not aware of this intimacy. I had a thought about the time he will come in perception to it will be the end of my life as I will be regarded Late Jack. Her name is Claire as she said to me, she is so beautiful not only better than my Sarah but possessed some well defined characters in terms of passionate decoration, social life and lovely chat. These persona of hers is what converted my mind to forget my old girl Sarah.
I wasn’t a traitor neither a deceiver but now I am, this is how I betrayed and deceived Sarah in wanted ambition of having the beauty of Claire. And this is the time I can recall the reason why and when I had fall unto this crime. This served as the beginning of my misfortune in which my life turned gradually boring as I Continue to enjoy the service of many girls in Mexico. I had so many girls not only Sarah and Claire, some I can even recall their name. Known of these girl know I am having affair with other as I am carrying my activities with tactics and plan. The time for the match came and that gave some respect for me because I am among the top players expected to perform an excellent role. I played the front side together with the fat guy while Sarah stood for defence. We played gorgeously and that earned our goal to be achieved as we won triumphantly. We defeated our opponent with flawless victory, I was honoured as the man of the match and that increments my fame in and out of the arena. They praised me with respect and treated me with honour accordingly to my excellent role. And that was when Sarah began to have suspicious about my affair with Claire.
” You played well.” Claire spoke with smile.
” Yea thanks a lot. ” I respond giving her my hand for some shake. She didn’t take my hand. She kissed and hugged me tenderly in front of Sarah’s eyes before she left. It made me felt ashamed because it was the middle of arena, I am sure comrade must have seen this vicious view of me kissing his girl. Not only him but my girl Sarah.
” Who is that bitch?” Sarah spoke in anxiety as she approached toward me.
” I am sorry she is just….”
“-Just what?” She interrupted. ” Your old harlot huh? Can’t you see how she’s looking at you as if you had engaged for a very long time.” Sarah proved her love to me by illustrating her ill will together with paying some unpleasant compliment. She walked desolately out of the arena heading back to the compound. I followed her with strong reaction of apology and forgiveness but it seemed like she is not willing to listen. Claire’s thought was expressed by her eyes as she saw me asking for apology. So he had a girl . I have no choice than to left her leave thinking I can sort it out in later time.
I went back to dormitory but Sarah isn’t there. I sank on my bed feeling guilty thinking about the way to sort it out then Suddenly Claire came in with expression of disapproval.
” Is she your girl friend?”
” Why asking?”
” Just tell me the truth is she your girl friend?” I stood up looking directly into her eyes.
” What brought you here?” I asked boldly.
” I am here for you, the Comrade summoned you.” She went out without looking back. My heart beat gradually started moving to and fro. I feared what might happen thinking like I am going to be punish for my vicious. I went into the Comrade’s room where I saw him with Claire as if they made a plan for me.
“You played well great champion.” Comrade spoke with admiration as I stood with respect listening to his order. ” I told the president about you and he said you owe him one. So…” Before the Comrade proceed Sarah quickly broke in wildly holding knife.
” I am going to kill you, I am going to kill you bitch.” She smacked Claire down trying to stab her death. I tried to get hold of her even though she was too strong. Slightly she cut up my hand blowing me aside. The Comrade tried to help but was thrown aside by her leaving Claire on her only fate. I can’t explain what happened because I didn’t see it. All I witnessed is the falling of Sarah with a stabbed throat. Does this mean Claire killed her? I went to Sarah trembling her calling her name but she never answer. I can’t believe she is dead. I continue the calling but yet no indication that she still live.
” I am sorry Jack, it happened accidentally.” Comrade said in pity.
” You.” I poked Claire. ” You killed my girl I am going to kill you.” I went to her in deep sorrow to take some necessary action but before I approach I was ceased by some of the team members. I was taken to a small dark room where I was kept throughout the day. The case was cancel as no evidence was found about the demised of Sarah. She was buried in Mexico after her parent were inform about the incident.
Comrade knew about me as a man of my word to anything I had promised. I knew he don’t want to loss his girl Claire, therefore he decided to plan some actions against me. His plan succeeded because I was expelled out of the team the next day with a reason I was never inform about. The President of the team living in New York telephoned me about the expel. I was freed and escorted out of the arena with my only bag and phone without them knowing a man like me will never break his promised. I walked down this very city of Mexico with nothing apart from my life, I had no friend there and I know no one. I took some shelter on a chair thinking about some new plan, unexpected I was stole by a very deep sleep. I woke up seeing myself on a bed in a room arranged orderly. I stood up wondering who brought me here.
” You are welcomed.” I turned back looking at Claire talking to me with smile. I can’t believe this idiot had brought me to her home.
“You.” I poked her distraughtly. I smacked her down violently trying to squeeze her neck to death but before I get to that her voice started making some meaning to me.
” You have to understand me I didn’t do it. I only tried to save myself then it happened.” I released her recoiling back. She stood up and came near me. ” Are you okay?” She kissed me before helping me up her bed. I had a very gladden life with Claire. She never allow the Comrade to know about my stay in her home. She managed to found a new job for me at Dancers Association, she’s working there and also she’s among the stars of the club. Before I was offered the job I was giving a test. Claire was called to have a contest with me and luckily I defeated her in public. They honoured me as their best dancer followed by Claire. Within I became a star just like Claire. So many club started calling me to dance with them and that is how I started earning my money. My sad temper about the demise of Sarah remained in my mind as always I am recalling the pleasant life we did in New York. Sincerely I betrayed her, I knew I did so I have to do something that will wipe away this unpleasant mood of mine. Claire is the causal of her demise so I decided to take her as she did to my Sarah. I succeeded in stabbing her death in the night, cleverly I called the police and informed them about the coming of a thief in our home. The police came and saw the corpse of Claire.
They asked what happened and I respond she was killed by the thief. No one blame me because there is no evidence. The case was cancel and later I was expelled by the President of Dancers Association. There is no any reason for my expel just like the Young Tigers did. I never worry about this expel because I am already a star. I had a lot of money to take care of myself so I rented a house and continue my job as a dancer. I get in touch with Henry in a dancing contest where I won a cup, that is when he became my friend. My boring life began when I started to witnessed some aspect of hallucinating in my new home.
I used to see the outline of a woman coming with knife trying to kill me especially in the night. I left that house and rented a new one thinking like I can have some peace but all of nothing. I rented about five houses in one month but still seeing the outline from the first day I break in. I decided to leave Mexico and move back to New York where I can live with my parent but still I have no peace there. I left my parent home and purchased a new house but still the outline is following me.
” So what do you think I shall do now to return my normal life back to me?” Jack said yawning as he descended down the bed. ” What!” He said in surprised, it seemed like he is now normal, he can walk, jump and even run. ” Hi, what is happening to me?”
” I don’t know.” Henry respond looking at him.
” Wow! Is that really you?” Jack turned mildly looking at Sarah who stood before him.
” Oh no!” He recoiled back dreadfully. ” Sarah, you are dead.. You yo yy.”
” Dead?” Sarah and Henry chorus.
” Yea she was killed by Claire.”
” You mean me?” Jack turned back looking at Claire next to comrade.
” Claire, how did you come here I stabbed you dead!” Jack spoke in surprised.
” No you didn’t.” She respond.
” Yes I did.”
” No you didn’t.”
” Yes I did.”
” You son of the bitch you didn’t.” Claire shouted angrily.
” Shit, don’t tell me I had a dream.” Jack said in puzzle.
” Of course you had, maybe in the land of…” Said comrade.
” Fears.” Jack concluded.
” This was really disgusting so you mean all what I saw was but a dream, my life in Mexico, my girls, wealthiness, fame and so many other.”
” I guess we have to report this immediately to psychosis doctor that Jack was gone mad.” Henry whispered to comrade.

” Okay can you tell me what happened to me last night?” Jack asked.
” You were drunk and hit by a car.” Sarah answered.
“Oh! So that is why I had a dream huh? A dream in the land of fears.” Jack said laughing as he embraced his family in cold temper.
