My life as a slave

I could taste the blood from the wounded slaves, there were mountains of corpses scattered over this ship. I won’t make it through my life like this. There has to be a mutiny, as people are becoming lunch for sharks.

I’ve been on this ship night and day, I never got any sleep with everyone groaning and screaming people have parasites and disease I miss my family wherever there are.  

I woke up and I started to get whipped then I saw something that could have given me a heart attack. Everyone were like zombies! And I was one of the flesh eating monsters, but I realized that we haven’t eaten in days or maybe weeks even months.

 

 

Doors open

Panic

Signal

Beaten

Broken

Imprisoned

Wretched

Bidders

Vengeance

 

I have been in this plantation for half a decade five years of injury and punishment. Separated from my family I’ve seen people being hanged and crows picking eye balls from the corpses. But this is better than the ship except the execution I am so tired I never did so much work in my entire life also the corpses I would rather die than see the owners shout at us. 

With all the work I fell asleep and I heard my parents telling me the story of Kirikou.

This story was told for generations and it was a good vs evil battle and it started in my home land  

 

He was a small, heroic African boy whose determination saved the day. He used cunning and disguise to keep himself alive

The evil master in the story was a sorceress called Karaba, she wanted to make every one suffer she turns men into objects and making people think she ate the men and the reason why is because there’s something in her back that made her evil.  

The slaves who served the sorceress where called fetishes there just like minions they do what karaba commands.  

When kirikou began his adventure he overcomed the evil sorceress and began to save the village from the fetishes and the sorceress he killed a giant monster that was drinking the water although he almost drowned. He dug underground to see his grandfather

Eventually he turned the sorceress good, she kissed him in the lips and he turned into a man and they became a happy couple.

This tale has a moral don’t let evil people get in your way, if they do don’t ever give up to defeat them.
