Deep In The Mind

The light got the family saved when they were about to be attacked

Joe is the decent and most respectful guy in the community as his behavior shows his personality. He helped the members of the community out when it came to securing the community and this made everyone know him to be the best in the field of security. They lost all their trust in him and were not able to detect something in Joe.

For so long now, the city of Akiko is at peace after recovering from the high rate of theft. All thanks to Joe, the community members shouted in praise. He was given too much respect just because of the way he behaved. Joe could not go to work and instead would stay at home enjoying pretending to have gotten money from his sister who lives abroad.

There is no day we won't see electricity in his house even when there is no power supply. It was so terrible and to the extent of Moone monitoring him.

One day Joe traveled to the city just to pay his uncle or aunty, no one knows, to visit. He stayed for two days and indeed thieves broke into the community. This time it came with fear and terror. The funniest aspect was that no one would be harmed instead would have their money stolen from them. When he came back, he was told about the incident that happened and how so many of them were robbed. This has been happening at night since the community does not have means of power holding instead the rich only had the opportunity to acquire or have generators. So everywhere seems to be in total darkness.

Joe was so confident that he was going to capture the thieves. Moone saw the situation that surrounded the scene but kept quiet. He has been suspecting Joe as no one would believe him, so he decided to keep mute.

Three weeks later, Joe had to travel yet again to a place no one knows. He always travel to his relative's place as he has been saying.

Within the time he has been around, there won't be evidence of stealing, but when he is out, the thief would come in to terrorize the whole of the community. They would move around the neighborhood stealing things from one house to the other. Everyone in the community would remain in a state of confusion. They would have their mouth at the back of their head. Things would be so tough during this period. No one had ever seen any of them facially just because of the absence of light. They have been in darkness.

Moone has told his friends and some people I'm the community to be alert and to be watchful. He told them that the one involved is the one we all knew so well. Have you ever asked yourself "Why must it be that anytime Joe is not around, there would be thieves invading our community?" Everyone shouted in unison showing signs of concurrency.

For the fourth time, Joe again traveled. Meanwhile, the power-holding authority has been withholding their electricity ever since it was connected which had made it everywhere in total darkness.

It was time for the thieves to show up and Moone and his counterpart had been on the watch out. No one knew where they would attack from nor did they know where they would come from or the house they would attack.

The thieves showed up once again and to their surprise, while in the house they were attacking, the power holding brought the electricity. There was light shining everywhere and indeed, the thieves had nowhere to escape to since the breeze had blown the fowl buttocks wide open. It was a shame to see Joe among the thieves.

What the hell…. So it's you all these while?

Immediately their household shouted which made Moone and his friends run to the scene. It was so pathetic to see Joe as the culprit.

I have been saying it but no one would dare believe me. I knew it was him all these while but I just want to be sure.
Power holding has made us great today for capturing the big thieves terrorizing our community.

Joe was pretty sure he was fooling everyone, but you can't always control all the factors!!

Everyday is for the the thief but one day is for the owner. some people are just green snake in the green grass, that's why it's important to be mindful of the people around us.
