WTAF Short Story: “On The Run” by The Eagle.

On The Run

In Nigeria, life had become increasingly difficult and dangerous. The economy was in shambles, and basic necessities were scarce. Crime and violence were on the rise, and people were living in constant fear.

One man, named Tunde, had had enough. He decided to take matters into his own hands and go on the run in search of a better life. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he was willing to face any challenge if it meant a better future for himself and his family.

Tunde packed what little he could carry and set off on foot, leaving behind his small village and the life he had known for years. The journey was long and arduous, with no guarantee of success. He had no plan, no destination in mind, just the hope that somewhere, he would find a better life.

Along the way, Tunde encountered many others who were also on the run. They shared stories of hardship and struggle, of families torn apart by violence and poverty. They walked for miles, through the scorching heat and the pouring rain, never sure where they were going, but always moving forward.

At times, it seemed like the world was against them, but Tunde and his companions never lost hope. They knew that there was a better life out there, somewhere, and they were determined to find it no matter what.

Finally, after months of travel, Tunde and his fellow travelers arrived at an overcrowded refugee camp. Conditions were far from ideal, but it was a start. Tunde found work, and slowly but surely, he began to create a new life for himself.

It wasn’t always easy, but Tunde knew that he had made the right choice. He had taken control of his own destiny and had found a way to make a better life for himself and his family. And even though he was far from home, he knew that he would always carry his memories with him, and that gave him the strength to keep going.
