FROM THE DIARY ;
LIFE OF PHARM.D STUDENTS
EPISODE 7; THE REMARKABLE NIGHT (LAST EPISODE)

BY JEPHERSON CHUKWUEMEKA
I felt a step on my toes, followed by a lash on my back. "The lash hit me hard like the one Father used to drive me out of bed whenever I was reluctant to be awakened from my boundless ocean of sleep.Nothing brings me more happiness than those early morning naps.My father was very fond of halting that happiness. He opined that it was a symptom of "LAZINESS"
 "No, this lash was different'' I sensed. I woke up immediately hoping to receive an "i'm sorry" from whoever did that .But there was nobody. I looked up and saw a crowd at the door . Everybody was pushing and shoving against each other aside trying to get out as It was the only exit. O boy see push!!!

Apparently ,I needed no one to tell me that something was wrong.Even the huge guy reading beside me was scrambling to get out . My first thought was to Calm down "How person go just dey run , When E no know wetin happen. A second thought drew closer to me and whispered " I choro ime ihe akpo abi " lekwam, lekwaa oso o (You want to prove a stronghead abi ,Am on the run oh). Within the blink of an eye I saw myself dragging my way through the door. Following the direction  others were taking ,I ran as fast as I could.
That was the day I discovered that many Uniben students can give ussian bolt a Race challenge. You needed to see as all exhibited to the fullest their running potential. It seemed as if I was watching one of THE  FLASH Movie episode.  I was more surprised when I saw one of the Uniben security (which I thought , will be somewhere giving a chase to whatever was chasing us) running behind me ,even trying to outspeed me {Who no like im life _" i thought to myself "this was obviously not the " WHERE IS YOUR ID CARD" Matter at The Main Gate )
"Why are we running" one guy running behind me asked, " Bros na wetin I wan slow down ask you so ! "I replied with a heavy breadth as I made to outspeed this fat guy in my front .With the way he was running ,I thought of  how he had managed to get here .He was mustering all possible energy to lift his gigantic weight and increase his pace.But unfortunately that was all he could.With the effort he was exerting I reasoned he must have known what prompted the sudden race, So I decided to ask him.
" All i know is that it started when One girl ran out of the class shouting  _'Please don't shoot me please ! Please don't shoot me !!!' Though I was the only one awake _I had  no option but to follow the crowd when they all woke up and took to the door ,"who wan die "He narrated to me as I ran at his pace .We both feigned a smile on his last word .We only stopped when we reached at June 12 (SUG market).Everybody was panting as they bent to support their weight, quite ready  to pick up the next run if the need arises.
"Ehee This is the Girl who  ran out of the class shouting, whose voice woke everyone  and we all ran following her ." The fat guy said to me
 I looked up and surprisingly it was the girl that sat by my side, My mind flung back to her LaCasera drink which she left unfinished on the desk .I Rememebered i saw it on the floor before I ran out of the class.
The people were already standing by her, panting and waiting for her reply.(It's said that when you hear RUN in Nigeria,The wise will FIRST complete the race and ask WHY Later ).After waiting anxiously for about 20min as if we were waiting for a Jamb result to load.
She began to narrate "At first I thought he was Joking , but then he brought out a gun and pointed it at me threatening to kill me "
 Immediatety, As if he was ready to face the GUN MAN , one  of the security men that had been dragging road with me,then interrupted ,asking her
Who ?  Where ?
Two questions at a time.She casted a look at him and the next thing we heard from her was
"In My Dreams"
