Season one -Episode (1)
The morning was
cold with clear
skies. The wind
blew gently making waking
up very difficult. Gabriel was
still lying in
bed wrapped in
his blanket. He had
completely forgotten that
it was a Sunday and
church will start
in less than
two hours.
“Get up!! You
Lazy boy,” exclaimed
Mrs. Betty Smith, Gabriel’s mom. “Don’t
you know we have to
go to church
today?”
Mrs. Smith, a 5.6
feet tall woman
and fair in
complexion. She was a
loving mother and
cared much for her children. She
worked as an
accountant in Bloc
International Limited. Mrs.
Betty Smith was married
to Mr. Frank Smith,
a lawyer by profession. He was
5.9 feet tall
and dark in complexion. They
both had three
children. Mark, Gloria
and Gabriel. Mark
was the eldest, followed by Gloria and
then Gabriel. They
lived in a
five bedroom apartment
at the McCarthy Hills in
Ghana. They were
very devoted Christians and
went to church
often.
Gabriel lazily took
off the blanket,
tossed and turned on
the bed for
a while stretching
himself. He finally got
off the bed,
removed the shirt
of his pajamas
and threw it
on his bed. He
slowly put on his sandals and
headed towards the
bathroom to brush
his teeth and
to take a
bath.
“What a boring
day today will be,”
he thought. “We are
just going to
sit on the
pew singing those boring
hymns. I will just
have to go and
sit
there so that
daddy and mummy
won’t be bored with
me.”
Gabriel got to
the bathroom, placed
toothpaste on his
toothbrush and brushed
his rightly aligned white
teeth. He spent more
time brushing his
teeth with the
hope of his
parents leaving to church
before him. He
took off his
clothes eventually and went
under the shower.
The water was freezing
and he shivered
violently under the
running water. He managed
to bath although he
was unwilling.
“Gabriel!
Gabriel! Gabriel! Hurry
and come for
breakfast,” shouted his
mother. “Gentleman, better hurry
and stop delaying. The
next mass will
start in an
hour.” She added.
Gabriel got the
iron and hurriedly
ironed his shirt
and pair of trousers. He was
trying as much
as possible to avoid
the wrath of
his mother. He quickly
polished his black
pair of executive
shoes as well. He slipped
his lanky legs through
the pair of trousers,
braced it with
a belt and
tucked in his singlet
into the trousers.
He then wore
his light blue
long sleeve shirt
and tucked it
also into his trousers. He
then tightened his
belt. He wore his
nicely polished pair
of shoes and
quickly dashed out to the dining
room to take
his breakfast.
Gabriel met the dining
table empty because
everyone else had
finished eating. He was
served with beverage and
bread. He looked at
the cup and
vapor was rising
up from the
surface of the beverage. He was
left with the
choice of either
eating the breakfast
in a hurry
or forgoing the meal
altogether. He took the
former option because
he could not stand
the thought of sitting
in the boring service
with an empty stomach. In
other not to
scald his buccal
cavity, he diluted the hot liquid with
cold water. He
finished the meal
with some few gulps
and ate the
bread in a hurry
as if he
has been starved
for days.
Immediately
after taking the
breakfast he heard
the honk of
his daddy’s car,
signaling him to come
out of the
house because they
were late. He
quickly got his
Bible that was
fully covered with dust, brushed off the dust and sped out of the room.
