The thoughts of him not being able to secure a job made him regret the day he was born. How Could he go home and tell his family he got nothing. He really needed this job. His mom's health was deteriorating and she needed to be taken to the hospital.

Moraa and Nyaboke were at home due to lack of school fees.The debts that their father,Mr Nyakundi,had left behind before kicking the bucket were getting raised day by day. He sat there hands on his cheeks as tears rolled down his chubby cheeks forming a neat numeral eleven.

Was it true that meeting a black cat early in the morning was a bad omen?? Or the owls hooting the previous night were trying to send a message. He couldn't forget the scenario this early morning where an old woman spat on this legs saying it was a mistake.

He looked up in the sky murmuring his favourite bible verse Philippians 4:13 from the Bible, which states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And expected a miracle to happen.
