Have you ever been to the moon?, Well I have but once and then never again,it's not like I wish not to go back again,but the beautiful chance came just once and since then I never had it again,Now let me tell you about my stay on the Moon,The moon is nothing like you can imagine,a wonderful utopia,with coloured skies that switches from pink to green and blue to Violet,name them.On the moon,there are flamingos who danced in a chorography on clear lakes with waterfalls of vast colours, flying fish flew over the ocean in a magnificent parade, while Macaws sang in melodies so Celtic in dispositions,but far more cool and romantic. The moon is a place to be ,it gives peace deep to your soul and levitates you like a balloon never hoping to touch town ever. You must endeavor at least once in your life time to visit the moon. Although my stay on the moon was short lived,even though I wish it lasted longer,I can still recall every detail of how I got there,so I'll tell you so that you too can go there someday. I had relocated to the city for the first time,and was harboured by my cousin pending when I would get my own place. For me to own my own place and to continue life in the city,i would need to get a job,and I did just that. I was employed the next week by a factory close to my cousin's, it was a food processing company,we made oats and pea nuts and biscuits and many other related stuff. On my resumption I and some others were given some orientations on handling certain machines and on safety, after this session,we were taken into the main factory, and shuffled into different departments and it was customary for amateurs to be introduced to the team leaders in the department he was placed, sadly for the rookies on my department our team leaders had not arrived so we went straight to work,I am not exactly the social kind so I did not bother trying to make any friends, I kept eyes on my work, only lifting it to glance at who all of a sudden made so much noise,and there it was, beauty as I have never known,. for some reason, amongst all that crowd of workers,the noise maker was specific looking back at me, This to me was shocking, I mean,I was amongst a great busy crowd and yet that glance was so direct, I decided to look away,but yet stole glances,for it was just not easy to not look at such grand beauty. Work was soon over for our shift oh I was unimaginable tired and so hurried into the cloak room to change and then flee to my home to get some good rest, as I walked into the room I saw the noise maker and others alike playing rough and making noises again, that was none of business to change brought me here and that was all I proceeded with. When you are continually stared at, that uncomfortable feeling that creeps into you begins to creep into me and I turned to see who stared, and there it was, pretending to have done nothing even though our eyes met but parted quickly, I walked out of the room with a big smile on my face, I could feel the space shuttle preparing to take it's first lunch ever to the moon.I woke up next day not exactly very very sounds, however it was just a mild headache,i got ready for work and two in about two hours after I had resumed duty,the headache didn't exactly continue mildly,it awkwardly begun to grow very seriously, and I hurried off to the sickbay,there I was attended to, administered some drugs and ask to rest till the day was over,it was specially serious after all. I found a comfortable corner in the canteen and lay my head to sleep. I was suddenly awaken by this terrible bang on the table, I mean why would any one awaken anyone in such mannerless manner , this black soul must be dangerously wicked ,who is it even?, right before me, was noisemaker Interrogating me,on what grounds!who does he even think he is? But then I was quick to recap how the others treated him in the department,with so much respect, I should have known, he was the team leader. Whatever though. I listened as he gave the independence speech of the century , drawing the attention of everybody and threatening to make me miserable if I didn't return to work,and that I was pretending to be sick when I'm not. This idiot doesn't even know me, what a shame, he looked so wise, what a complete fool, when he was done I continued my sleep. This shocked him and he told me to consider myself jobless as from the end of the day and walked away, it's actually very bad to place power in the hands of little boys it's not advisable. The next day I begun searching for another job,I knew too well that team leaders didn't wield such power to fire anyone, however their influence in their departments was not challenge able, Having the backing of one manager or supervisor can help you keep your job,but miserableness is yours,and this was something I wasn't ready for,I mean I just moved here,any nonsense distractions was very much not affordable. Unfortunately I could not find any job that day, On my way
