Though there was an expectation that you would survive the "ordeal", it was clear there was a lingering sense of trepidation, which I think you conveyed very well. The heart was beating oh! fast, paa, as I read it.<br /><br />Thank God you were saved by a good Samaritan. As for the "patapa" of the police, very, very much to be expected!Emmanuel.K.Bensah IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425904642659360906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-28868867506495878262009-08-25T18:21:53.483+00:002009-08-25T18:21:53.483+00:00@Novisi: Hehhehe!

Another bad scenario is when the Good Samaritan turns victim to some elaborate plot. The lack of fear from the Samaritan is what really scared me. Wasn't he a little worried that I was part of some elaborate trick? If not...why was he not more cautious? I know that sounds convoluted and a little paranoid on my part but I have heard stories of how people doing good have turned victim.Abena Serwaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888021677219851484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-1179583952652591642009-08-25T15:34:37.445+00:002009-08-25T15:34:37.445+00:00there are still some good samaritans out there, ex...there are still some good samaritans out there, except that the bad nuts have 'outshine' and 'outnumber' them. People are by nature kind but it is always difficult to exercise this kindness when you don't know what is lurking around or simmering in the other person's head. Shakespeare: 'There's no Art to find the mind's construction on the face'. If this were possible, doing good would be one hell of an easy task.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-68561882474407755382009-08-25T14:07:17.333+00:002009-08-25T14:07:17.333+00:00heart beating...fast...faster!

There is no way that can be a good thing. <br /><br />@Kwegyirba: Hehehe! Talk about being really grateful to get home! I do have a problem with an overactive imagination and night-time fears. It is just something about the darkness...<br /><br />@Maya Mame: very true that horrors on tv are much worse than real-life. Then again, you read newspaper articles in Ghana about people killing their brothers to get rich and then you just wonder. Personally, I have no fear of the juju but do fear that someone may believe that my scalp on a juju charm would work wonders for them! Unfortunately, experiences have taught me to be cynical and suspicious of my fellow Ghanaian's willingness to lend a hand. This is something I really have to work on. <br /><br />@Bubu: kudos to you for your good taste...just can't get enough of Criminal Minds. Even if it keeps me up at night with some of the more freakishly weird plot-lines.Abena Serwaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888021677219851484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-21989002695608053302009-08-24T15:33:27.130+00:002009-08-24T15:33:27.130+00:00I have nothing useful to contribute.

I think I can safely say that we get brainwashed by the horrors we see on TV and forget that most Ghanaians are very willing to lend a helping hand.<br /><br />Still, I'd have been just as terrified if I saw a stranger look for a rock and later pull out a rope!Maya Mamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285625732016505054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-7716892874440509482009-08-24T14:14:37.839+00:002009-08-24T14:14:37.839+00:00Yikes, Abena, won't wanna trade places with yo...Yikes, Abena, won't wanna trade places with you(and your overactive imagination!)
