CHRONICLE OF A MARRIED MAN

It was my dream to attend a higher institution, at any age, against all odds. So in my 20s, I finally saved enough to further my education but I packed my bags and quit after just three weeks in school.

I was attending lectures already, snapping pictures in "motion ground" and feeling myself but cultists would not let me drink water and drop cup.

They kept disturbing me to join them. As I type, I still wonder what the attraction was cos I was not a rich kid, not too brilliant, zero connection but I was a good dresser and a very fine boy, I'm still fine (shines teeth).
Do they use beauty as a criteria to scout for new members?

So, these guys pleaded, cajoled and later started threatening me to join them. They were everywhere - in my lecture room, my compound, on my street, in the cafeteria, they even attended my church.

There was no way I could have joined them. I was a poor boy from a broken home, with no one who cared whether I become something meaningful in life or not. I was responsible for myself and my younger siblings and I was determined to make it in life without involving in any crime. Though they promised me heaven on Earth but I knew better.
One day, my room mate had travelled, leaving only me. I locked the door myself when I left for school, came back home, opened the door, then saw this guy that had been disturbing me, lying on my bed.
I ran out in shock.
He told me I was on my last lifeline and they would soon take drastic action on me since I was stubborn.

After he left, I checked and saw that he entered the room through the window. You know all these ancient wooden windows without iron protector, he probably gave it a hard blow and the hook I used to lock it from inside removed and he jumped into the room. It was a bungalow.

That night, I started packing. The next day, I left before daybreak with my heart in my mouth. I was scared of them seeing me leaving.
I later went the part-time route, working while I schooled. No one disturbed me to join anything.
Anyone here had an ugly experience with these guys?
