He broke out in a thousand beads of sweat; he has never seen a thing like this before. He lay still on the bed. Who could this be? Pointing a gun at him in the dead of the night? He didn't want to move so as not to upset the assassin. He lay shaken on the bed, why is this man standing right there with a gun and not moving? If he wants to shoot; why can’t he just go ahead with it? Why is he standing, staring at him without firing a shot? Emenike thought to himself.

Emenike’s breathing was loud and heavy, his heart thumped against his chest. He was almost passing out with fear when he summoned courage and made to get off the bed. After all, the assassin was going to kill him nonetheless but he was determined to die a brave man. He started to talk to the shadow of a man standing with a gun."my brother please, I beg you in God’s name do not kill me.  Whatever you want, I am ready to give anything but please spare my life”. Emenike was expecting to hear a shot to his head and probably be a dead man by now but  he was shocked to hear himself still speaking and the man still standing; not uttering a word neither did he pull the trigger.

Emenike was confused and started to approach his assassin who neither moved nor tried to stop Emenike. Emenike thought the man must be deaf and blind not to even try to stop him from attacking and disarming him.As Emenike drew closer, he noticed the image began to change.

OMG! Emenike screamed, A GHOST! Immediately, he tried to escape but as he flew off his bed to quickly get the door, he landed on the floor with a heavy thud. He started to cry “please I’m sorry mama, please don’t kill me, I know I haven’t been faithful with my pledge to papa but I promise to make it up in every way possible” Emenike was still crying and begging thinking it was his mothers’s ghost appearing to him when NEPA restored light and he saw that the image was nothing but his robe hanging over the draping stand placed right beside his reading lamp. The positioning of all the furniture seemed like a man garbed in a robe holding a gun. Emenike was shocked at what he saw, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at himself.He cursed NEPA for the pain he felt after hitting his head on the leg rest when he fell. He got up to take a leak after putting a call through to his father; promising to visit him the next day with loads of cash and goodies.
