CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe got to the hospital. I got down and rushed inside leaving my mum and grandpa behind. I ran to the receptionist’s desk.“Good morning, please, I… I want…” I stuttered while trying to catch my breath due to the run I did from the garage to inside the hospital.“Good morning ma’am, calm down, steady your breath.” One of the nurses at the reception said and gesticulated for me to calm down. I took a deep breath in and out.“Please, where is my man?” I asked “And your man goes by what name?” She asked looking through a big report book before her.“Thomas. Thomas Robinson. They brought him in between last night and this morning.” I said sharply pointing to the book.“Oh, The Robinson’s. You have to wait at the waiting arena. You go by your left, straight down. You will see the waiting arena just by the corner.” She described and I was nodding trying to hard to assimilate the descriptions she was making.“Why waiting arena? I want to see my husband n
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWA man who seemed to be in his fifties came to approach us. He seemed like the doctor with his white overall and their signature way of holding a stethoscope loosely.“Good morning. You are for the Robinson’s right?” He asked facing the chief security and Smart.“Yes.” They said in unison.“Have you been able to contact their family?” He asked.“Yes sir. This is the younger man’s wife and here is his brother. These are her family.” Smart introduced us to him.“Oh, good. We are sorry about the unfortunate incident. We had to go on with the surgery in your absence because of how critical their condition was and it was needed to help save their lives.” He said.“That is no problem, doctor. How are they now? Can we go see them now?” I asked impatiently.“They are out of surgery. Thankfully, the surgeries for both of them were successful and they are now stable but the younger man is still unconscious. He is in coma. As for the old man, he is pretty muc
TAYLOR FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI just sat there with Celestia staring at Thomas laid there on the hospital. Seeing him that helpless felt so unreal as I had always seen him really up and doing holding a lot of things down for the family. He was like a super hero to me. “Taylor, have you eaten? You look pale.” Celestia said to me.“No, I am not hungry.” I replied. I truly was not having any appetite for food. I just wanted him to wake and tell us to go home with him.“Look Taylor, I understand how you feel. In fact, I understand probably than anyone else because Thomas is precious to us both. He is my first and only love. I feel terrible seeing him in this state but we have to be strong for him. Remember they said coma patients feel and hear everything? You definitely do not want him to see you this way or feel this down energy, right?” I nodded.“Good, now chin up. Let us be happy and positive around him so he can get back to us faster, okay?” She tried to console me, placed a ha
SMART’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI got back at the quarters to get the things thar Mr Thomas might need at the hospital. I drove in and everywhere seemed a little strange. For the first time in a while, everywhere was silent. every one of the staff especially the security personnels had been taken in for interrogation leaving the house empty. I got to the study and picked a couple books for him. Taylor called that I should help me with some clothes at his quarters. That reminded me that Mr Thomas might need some things that would make the hospital feel homely to him. I headed upstairs to see if there was anything of such in his room. The room remained as it had been from the night. There was a custom made diffuser in the corner by a small stool. I remembered the diffuser. He had stated specifically how he wanted the fragrance to smell like and had the maker tailor it to his taste. I picked it and also some other things he liked that I thought would give him the homely feely and ret
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI was in my living room watching the TV and having a me time when I heard a knock on my door. To my surprise, it was my mother. She had been calling me over the past few days to apologize about the last time but I did not bulge. I was surprised to see her at my door because I had instructed my gatekeeper to not allow her into my house.“Mum? How were you able to enter?” That was the first question that escaped my mouth on seeing her as I looked around for my gatekeeper. “I met the gate open today thankfully so I let myself in. I had been coming but it seems tou gave them the instructions to not let me in.” She explained.“I really need to tighten my security up.” I thought in my head as I imagined if it had been some random robbers or petty thieves. I promised myself to deal with the gatekeeper later for leaving my gate open and going on about his business like it was nothing. I was just living in a regular environment where anything could happen a
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe call was from Taylor. I got taken aback for a minute as I saw his name displayed on my phone’s screen. Do not get me wrong, it is not the fact that he called that was surprising but the time. He was at my gallery about a day or two prior so I did not expect to see his call that morning again. I eventually picked it.“Hello.” His innocent voice came on the other end of the call.“Hey Taylor. How have you been?” I asked.“I have not been so good.” He answered and that got my attention.“What happened? Are you okay?” I asked raising my voice a little attracting my mum’s attention as she mouthed “What is it?” curiously. She must have not been paying attention initially.“I am okay. It is Thomas and grandpa.” He said almost breaking into tears.“Do not cry. Talk to me. What happened to them?” I asked. I had already jumped off the chair I was seated on. My mum tapped my thighs as she kept mouthing some questions at me, she was never patient enough whe
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.My heart sank as I saw Thomas laid there in unconsciousness. I sat there in silence looking at him reminiscing on our past memories. How we used to play around together with Taylor and fought a lot as well. We might have always had our differences as cousins, seeing him like that definitely angered me and made me want to fish out the criminals and have them dealt with. I left his ward shortly after to join the others at the waiting arena. I could not get my eyes off Celestia. She was a shadow of herself yet trying so hard to keep it together. “Celestia, Pa Robinson would like to have a word with you alone.” I said to her.She stood up from her seat and headed to meet him. I followed her with my eyes until she was no longer visible. I wished there was something I could do to reverse everything. I called Smart to one side.“Smart, there is no time to be lenient or feel sorry for oneself. We have to start working on our security more and also keep
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.“This is absurd. How could they both still be alive? I shot them both myself. They never could have survived those gun shots.” I argued on the phone with one of my spies that I had at the hospital Pa Robinson and his grandson were admitted into. I was told they were both still alive at the hospital.“They are alive sir. The criminals they caught are also still alive and they are planning to investigate them but I have been sedating them as you instructed to stalk time. I will no longer be able to do that anytime soon to avoid getting caught. They are heavily guarded by the security so it is hard to do anything strange before them.” He said to me over the phone.“Do not give me any crap! You must make sure they do not get to interview any of them. Better still, kill them!” I thundered.“Kill? No sir, I can not dare to do that. They will definitely find out in the investigations. I think it is better you look for another alternative to get rid of
