LIVING IN A BEDSITTER IS A CURSE

LIVING IN A BEDSITTER IS A CURSE
Living in a bedsitter is a curse, it is an abomination. It is nature’s way of punishing the human race.

In a bed sitter, the kitchen is right within your bedroom. You are busy cooking, while your crush is sitting on your bed, you have that habit of tasting your soup using the cooking spoon. You go right ahead and taste it, only to turn around and meet her eyes dangling from their sockets in shock.  Now you have unwittingly committed a crime of blinding your crash!

The day might turn out better than expected and crazy things happen. You pant, you sweat and then come back to planet earth. Believe me; every bedsitter tenant worth his stripes knows that there is an evil spirit that conjures up all manner of ways to torture him/her. After a hot afternoon romp, you start looking for her clothes. You will look for that tiny handkerchief sized piece of garment for hours until when you are on the brink of giving up, you find it soaking in the multicolored soup you had cooked. It will be dyed in all colours from the green sukuma wiki, yellowish potatoes, omena  and any other ingredient that you had added into the lethal concoction you had cooked for lunch

Now, Now, now, the water closet is part of the kitchen, sitting room and bedroom. Your stomach decides it is the right time to offload some of its contents. You walked into that small cubicle and press the initiate button. Now, today, of all days, when your crush is sitting on your bed, the delivery process comes accompanied with sound effects. To make it worse, the toilet acts as an amplifier and the sound can only me measured on Richter scale. 


After an agonizing process you walk out of the cubicle with a smile on your face. Now this is where things go truly wrong. You find your crush with a handkerchief tightly pressed on a nose. The fumes from your gas attack rank on the same scale with Adolf Hitler’s gas chambers. Actually, you are on the brink of being charged with committing war crimes by unleashing lethal gas on non-combatants.  To quell the disaster you grab the air freshener and spray generously in the air. Now this is an atrocity, have you ever tried to use roll on or perfume to mask the fact that you have not had a shower the past three days? This is the time you realize that you should have invested in gas masks.
