| ———————————————————- *MY HOUSE WAS ABOUT TO BE LOCKED ......* On the end of the month just because I was not able to pay the rent. I posted it on facebook seeking for help, but all I got were 2 likes and zero comments. So l sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting for a loan of $1500. Sadly only 10 people replied. 6 out of the 10 claimed they couldn't help. Only 1 out of the 4 who said they could help actually gave me some money but the rest only gave me excuses and never picked my calls. In the end, my door was locked. I had no where to sleep. I walked in the dark seeking options and sadly a thief stole my empty purse with my identity card in it. He was badly hit by a fast moving car as he was running away, so he died. The next day, news quickly spread around that I had died. About 2,500 people posted on my wall how they knew me. How great I was ! A committee was formed by my, *loyal friends* who contributed $18000 to feed guests at my funeral. My colleagues at work teamed up and brought another $4500 for a coffin, tents and chairs. I was to be buried in a coffin worth $1500- the same amount I needed for rent. Relatives also met. It was a rare occasion for them to meet, so they met and contributed an extra $3000. Everyone wanted to volunteer in order to appear they were helping. They printed T-shirts with my image. Each T-Shirt costing $2.50, so the T-shirt man made about $25000 from my presumed death. Everyone wanted to speak at my funeral. There was drama all over from people who never knew how l survived. There was even rumour that I was murdered by my friends. Speeches were made on how talented I was, even by those who never attended my events. The few friends who supported me didn't even get the chance to speak during my funeral - although they knew the Truth. In fact, they were prime suspects for my ‘death’. You could imagine how the scene turned after I showed up alive! Some thought l was a ghost. *THIS IS THE IRONY OF LIFE; WE LOVE THE DEAD MORE THAN THE LIVING* Written for "The Whatever Contest."
