THE LAST PARTY : The proof of maturity.
#WritcoStoryPrompt59
Daniel was born a healthy male baby. Throughout his childhood, he practiced well manners and proper etiquette. Suddenly, on his 20th birthday, he fell into a month-long coma. Once he woke up, he was Daniel no more. He couldn't resist the habit of saying or doing mean things that would degrade and humiliate another persons’ dignity. This took a toll on his daily life and once stable and loving relationships became broken and bitter shipwrecks. Living a new life, we follow a new world he stumbled upon, a world filled with disrespect and vile manner.
If anyone had predicted the down turn of Daniel's life now, no one would have bought that "story" unless a soothsayer was in the picture. Even Daniel himself would have no cause to believe it because he knew he was raised well.
The last week of June seemed to have a different story for his life. It was the last week of his nineteen years on earth. It had him unusually mounted with strange pressure. Pressure of adulthood or show of maturity.
His beloved cousin, Toby, who had just returned from Lagos, and his two friends Philip and Raymond subtly cajoled him to follow them to a party in the neighbouring street. It was a harmless invitation. His mum had let him go on the condition they'd be back before midnight at most, and because she knows the son she has.
They had dedicated that week (monday to saturday)to hanging out and catching up. But that Saturday night's outing was more fun and tense.
Toby told him to learn to do some necesary things he'd not find hard to do as an adult, things or activities he'd not feel ashamed doing because they were okay. He was taught to drink some strong alcoholic drinks, some of which had creamy and sweet tastes that he didn't decline.
