My Adventures to Great Unknown

By Dode Sescri

Unable to tell where you are going? You could be heading into a gold mine and strike it rich or you could be walking on the ruins of an ancient lost city , you become a discoverer. Likewise you could be also walking straight into the mouth of a lion's den, and easily get devoured by the fierce beast, never to be heard of or from again. Whatever it is that motivates people to travel into the unknown territories, to sail across uncharted waters or dive deep into a dark cave, that I do not know neither does anyone else, for the public believes they are bored fellows who are tired of living and have gone out to throw away their lives in the wilderness, only those who take the risks understand what they are doing and what exactly they want from it, whether they are going to succeed or not, only time will tell.

Let me tell you a story, it goes like this..."Once upon a time there lived a rat and a cat, they were very good friends, they lived happily in their wooden shack, they shared everything between themselves, when one of them got some food, he would share it with the other. One day the rat did something very bad, he annoyed the cat who then out of rage slapped him very hard, the rat was seriously injured by the blow and then died. That’s the end of my story..."Yarn spinning is a skill that is deeply ingrained in our blood, we are descended from a long line of great story tellers, there is no story we don’t know how to tell, we always find time to amaze our audiences with great tales, both the contemporary and the legends of the old...My old time friends Jiji and Kaki are the two fellows that have greatly influenced my writing and life at large, when you hear them speak you are led to think they know everything, Jiji was very good at debates, I don’t remember a single day when he lost a contest. Kaki on the other hand was a great story teller, I don’t know where he got his stories from, we simply enjoyed them, we never cared about his sources either, he had lots of them too. One thing I loved about this little fellow was that I never got bored around him. He would flood your ears with thousands of stories at a time and there is no single moment when he will tell you the same story twice. Jiji was somehow a fanatic. When there is a discussion then individuals get stuck at a point where nobody has any further information, all are ignorant, that’s when he jumps onto the dance floor, claiming he knows it all, I have never met anyone who loved arguments more than Jiji, even a simple discussion he would turn it into an argument. He had a strange way of convincing people to believe his claims, even though you had with you solid facts that proved him otherwise, you still couldn’t beat him...

Contention.

Since childhood I always wanted to travel to Egypt, to dine with the Pharaohs, and take a closer look at their majestic tombs, those huge arrow head like structures that protrude from the desert sands and glitter like gems in the coloured sunsets, I would like to observe them carefully and uncover the genius behind them. To calculate the amount of sweat needed/ released to lift a single stone to the top.

When some enthusiastic travellers see that you don’t travel much (you don’t move about very much) they come to you and say this,, "your father has been here all his life, why don’t you move about a little bit, he was born here, went to school in this town, found a job in this town, married a town girl from here, died and was buried here, are you going to follow the same suit? Please venture at least ten miles out of this town and you will see for yourself how beautiful life is out
