It didn't happen immediately...
It took quite some time to happen and when it finally did the anti-climax was as ordinary as an everyday event. There was no earth shattering moment of clarity or thunderous applause - except of course in my head.
It was all seen with a detached perspective like a distorted image seen from a glass bottle.
I wondered out aloud - was it me?
Was I perhaps the reason for it all?
I was no closer to an answer and yet it teased me with the prospect of resolution.
Like a lady whom one wants, teasing and tantalizes with a mere promise - often never fulfilled.
Was it the prospect of mystery that got me hooked?
Was it the way she kept me at bay with her "I don't see or recognise you" looks?
I had promised myself to stay clear - my personal philosophy is to act like a mirror - reflect what is shown to me... But my mirror is cracked and I'm intrigued - like a bloodhound on the trail of a scent...
Maybe it's her eyes...
They wound me. They gaze at me silent, accusing me of a crime I know nothing about.
Feelings...
What feelings? Maybe its dislike - or outright hatred. I don't think its hatred.
I feel a pulse in my loins - is it sexual? Do leopards have spots?
Am I per chance crazy - Perhaps.
A little mad? Who knows...
She looms large like a shadow cast at night and dodges my every thought...
Will I ever be free?

Anyway - it has to do with the ability of things to go wrong...
here are some examples of a few "Murphy" Laws...
MURPHY'S LAWS
1. THE PRIME AXIOM:
In any field of scientific endeavor,
anything that can go wrong, will.
2. If the possibility exists of several
things going wrong, the one that will go
wrong is the one that will do the most damage.
3. Everything will go wrong at one time.
3.1 That time is always when you least expect it.
4. If nothing can go wrong, something will.
5. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
6. Everything takes longer than you think.
7. Left to themselves, things always go from
bad to worse.
8. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
9. Given the most inappropriate time for something
to go wrong, that's when it will occur.
10. Mother Nature is a bitch.
10.1 The universe is not indifferent to intelligence,
it is actively hostile to it.
11. If everything seems to be going well, you have
obviously overlooked something.
12. If in any problem you find yourself doing an
immense amount of work, the answer can be
obtained by simple inspection.
13. Never make anything simple and efficient when
a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful.
14. If it doesn't fit, use a bigger hammer.
15. In an instrument or device characterized by a
number of plus-or-minus errors, the total error
will be the sum of all the errors adding in
the same direction.
16. In any given calculation, the fault will never
be placed if more than one person is involved.
16.1 In any given discovery, the credit will never be
properly placed if more than one person is involved.
17. All warranty and guarantee clauses become invalid
upon payment of the final invoice.
18. Murphy's Law: "If there are two or more ways to do
something, and one of those ways can result in a
catastrophe, then someone will do it."

Testing the waters of story telling... What do u think?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
maybe it was the way i spoke...
maybe it was the look in my eye that spoke of an obstinate passion.
Maybe it was just me.
Whatever it was - I was totally unprepared for the slap across my face.
It left me dazed for a 30 second interval - long enough for me to momentarily forget my name.
Ahh... My name's... Chinedu!
There - I remember!
She was still livid with anger and from the look on her face, contemplating slapping me again - her logic was probably that the first one hadn't done the trick.
I was quick to step out of harm's way especially when it came to an emotion unstable female.
Did I just say that?
WHACK!
The second slap landed on my left cheek and I forgot the rest of my personal details.
I was stunned senseless and black dots started dancing in front of my eyes...
She was worked up - really excited now and looked like she was close to giving me a third...
Like a buzz, I made for the safety of a partition - anything that would act like a barrier to keep her away from me...
Ahh - safety at last! A table.
I made for the table and stayed away from the reaches of her hands, while trying to marshal my scattered thoughts. Random images swirled around in my head, while I tried to sort out the best way to diffuse an already explosive situation.
I was pressed to the side of the office cabinet - in an apparent bid to keep myself safe.
She started to circle the table in an apparent bid to attack.
I had my back to the cabinet and the only way to escape was to go by her.
Trapped!
Did I fail to mention that she was bigger than I?
I'm no feather weight at 6 feet but she was both bigger and taller and seemed to get excited at inflicting violence.
Was this the end?
She advanced slowly - her fists raised to deliver the final blow...
Tears... mine or hers? Sniffling...
I'm confused initially as my eyes are tightly shut and I'm bent like a shrunken old tree - trying to dodge the inevitable assualt of an axe...
Suddenly, I feel a dead weight upon me - hands clasped around me - the sound of my name reaches my ears in a sing song manner as I taste the salty nectars of her tears...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So... what do you think? Do I have anything to offer? Drop a comment.

Why did I have to do it to her?
Who was she?

The LORD is my shepherd - I shall not want...My guy - I dey shake like water leaf!
...
He leadth me beside still waters - he RESTORETH my SOUL...
Even when i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil (Okay, maybe just a little..)

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!Can it be? Have I been saved from utter annihilation?
