⚡ The Charger War Chronicles ⚡
Yesterday, I returned home from an outing with friends, with a battery at 15%, the kind of percentage that makes you pray in tongues.
As I entered my street, there was light. By the time I reached my doorstep, darkness had swallowed the universe.
JEDECCO is not just wicked, they are spiritual terrorists.
I was already imagining a boring night of staring at the ceiling when my neighbour appeared like Moses, carrying a container of petrol. He was about to resurrect his generator. Hope came alive. I rushed inside, grabbed my charger, and plugged my destiny into his socket.
But alas, the man had a guest. I couldn’t stay in his room, so I left my phone charging and went outside to gist with other neighbours. My mind was calm, I knew by the time I returned, my phone would be 100% charged and ready to fight battles.
Three hours later, the generator coughed, wheezed, and died like a goat in the hands of a butcher. My neighbour came out apologising:
“Sorry, my bro, I used your charger to charge my baby phone. I think the fuel will last till midnight.”
I smiled like a monk, but inside my spirit was boiling like hot porridge.
When he finally handed me my phone, it was 4%, hotter than a frying pan, and decorated with vegetable leaves. My phone had been used as a torchlight in the kitchen while my charger was busy servicing his babe’s battery.
Tell me, is the heart of man not wicked?
I swallowed my pain, went to my room, and behold, light had returned. I laughed like a prophet who had just defeated Satan. I plugged my phone again, danced a little, and went to bed.
Throughout the night, I had dreams:
In one, my phone was fully charged.
In another, my neighbour begged me to charge his phone.
In the last one, the boys tried to sn**ch my phone.
When I woke up, I realised the truth: I had plugged my phone in but forgot to switch on the socket. My phone was sitting at 2%, mocking me.
This morning, light disappeared again. My neighbour had gone out early. I blame him for everything that has happened to me in the last fifteen hours.
I have reported the matter to:
Gudele 1 Chief
Gudele Police Station
Mathiang Anyoor Battalion
The Vigilante Leader
Wrong Face Intelligence Unit
And the Men’s Brigade
⚔️ A Charger War is about to begin.
