RE: STACH Short Story Contest #15: 199 words.|Christmas Special, everyone wins.

A cold morning in the suburbs of England, Femi had received a call from Nigeria about his Father's poor health. Without wasting time, Femi called his sister who also resides in England about their father's health and they both decided they had to travel back to Nigeria.

Femi's wife and his sister's husband protested they all go together and make it a family trip to Nigeria. They both agreed with their spouses and packed their bags ready to travel to Nigeria to visit their father who had been the backbone behind their success and the reason they are in England.

Landing at Muritala Muhammad airport in Ikeja, the Adebajo's siblings breathe in the air of their motherland. They moved to visit their father before it is too late to say their goodbyes. A feeling they dreaded and haunted them, as they have not visited home for over 10years.

They got the shocker of their life, when they found out they father was hale and hearty. He then told them, "Families are suppose to Spend the Holidays together, WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES CALLING" his words making the siblings disappointed in themselves.
