I began to percieve burnt smell coming from the
kitchen, which made me remembered the
noodles i was cooking.
I quickly stood up and ran into the kitchen with
speed, brought the pot down and put off the
stove.
I stared at the food and saw that it was partially
burnt, i had no choice but to eat it that way so
as to reduce the hunger pangs i was feeling.
I took a fork and emptied what was left of it into
a plate and carried it back to the room.

Sunday finally came, i knew i had to prepare
for church so i swept my room and tidy up
everywhere as quickly as possible so as to
prevent any excuse that arises for going late.
After i was done with the cleaning, i went into
