Archive! Embarrassing Eve of 2013! My 2012 ended in rather embarrassing manner. On the last day of 2012, I went into a Shell Mart to pick a gift for a friend. After I finished picking few items, I headed straight to the door: I was confidently walking out of the mart. Before I could push the door out, the attendant called, “Hello! Please sir, are you buying those items.” I was in complete trance and stood by the door speechless. I really didn’t know what to tell her. At a moment, I thought I was dreaming. I walked slowly to her counter with legitimate guilt. “Please madam, forgive me. What’s my bill”, I spoke uneasily and showed the items to her. I deliberately remove lots of notes from my pocket to prove a “worthless” point. I handed her a note. She gave me change. “Thank you”, I mentioned to her and walked unsteadily out of the mart. The attendant was really calm and composed. She knew from her heart of hearts that I genuinely forgot. She could have raised an alarm to attract people around for my lynching. I keep murmuring prayers and humming hymns till I had disappeared metres away from the mart. So, I asked myself, what was I thinking about!? Where was my mind!? What would have been the story if this event had happened in Makola Market or Agborgboshie Market? Your guess is as good as mine. An innocent and promising gentleman would have been unjustifiably mobbed to death. I would have been used to commission 2013. With this experience, I shall be a great opponent to mob justice under no uncertain terms. Thank you God for your continued love and protection!
