Efe has been that guy that never set his eye on darkness. Before the day goes dark, he's far asleep. This has been his way of life since he was born. His parents couldn't stop him from sleeping early since he was a kid. Efe grew up with the habit, and it was one of the best things in his life he cherished so much.
Getting at least 8 hours of sleep every day that the doctors tell people isn't anything to him. It's just natural. He sleeps more than 8 hours in 24 hours. If nature gives change, he would have enough leftover sleep to sell or gift. Efe, oh Efe! Though he's not wealthy, he is as healthy as ever.
But something happened one day. Efe woke up in the middle of the night. Before I proceed, can you imagine what it would be like? He has never seen darkness all his life. Imagine yourself waking up on planet Mars. This is never a dream. Picture it as a reality. Strange, isn't it? Exactly how Efe felt on that fateful day.
As he opened his eyes, he saw darkness everywhere. He didn't take it seriously at first because it wasn't real in his eyes. By the time he closed and opened his eyes several times, he noticed it wasn't a dream anymore. The whole room was dark. Fear gripped him. His heart began to pump blood faster than normal. The total silence was strange. It was his first time witnessing such, though he was enlightened by his mum on how silent the night could be especially at late hours.
The sound of crickets and frogs deepened. At this point, he was confused and clueless. He summoned the courage to rise from his bed. Efe the brave! If it were to be me, I would crawl for safety. He went for the room switch and pressed the "on" button, but there was no flow of electricity to the bulb for illumination. I guess the power holding company had opened the circuit.
"Bbam gbam," Kokokokoko heard the noise from the front door. Immediately, he lay flat on the floor for 5 minutes; everywhere was silent. Maybe my ears heard double, he presumed. But he was wrong. The sound was real. When the sound persisted, he became very timid. He heard the footsteps coming towards the window. Another time the sound came from the door side. Efe hugged the ground as if it were his betrothed.
"Me," "me," the sound of a bleating goat. Do goats walk around in the middle of the night? He didn't understand. After a while, it occurred to him that the sound he had been hearing was from the goat's actions outside his house.
Efe stood up and opened the window courageously. Lo and behold, there stood male and female goats chasing themselves around to copulate.
The night for Efe was as if he was in another world. He couldn't close his eyes till 6 AM when the sky let go of the nights darkness. When Efe finally saw the light of day, he couldn't wait to tell people about his experiences at night. He was very serious about his explanations, but people laughed as he narrated his story.
From a twilight napper, Efe became a nocturnal.
