RE: STACH Short Story Contest #26: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SB prize pool!

in #contest6 years ago

Kendra was seated on her veranda alongside her two kids enjoying their sumptuous meal of cocoyam with palm oil.

While eating, a young man approached her and narrated how he got robbed by arm robbers, losing all his money. He came from afar to write his final examination. The examination was kickstarting few minutes later and he had to pay his examination fee but he had no money.

Kendra had pity on him but unfortunately, she didn't have much money to give the young lad. She only had a five hundred naira which he gave to the lad. He got the money from her and thanked her. He eventually meant someone who gave him the complete money.

Years later, this young man graduated from school as a doctor and built his hospital. Meanwhile, Kendra was sick of cancer. She was taken to several hospitals but wasn't admitted cause she had insufficient money to pay. Unknowing to her, she was taken to the hospital owned by this young boy.

Reaching there, the young man recognized her, she told him everything. She was then treated free of charge. The young man took it upon himself to sponsor her children through school.
