"I don't care about your ideology. Just give me my money," Stephan said, with fire blazing out of his eyes. "The idiocy of you people in this town is driving me crazy." The old woman idly had another sip of a chilled Fanta drink. Then she said, "When you're done talking nonsense, you'll get out of my store. You stupid child."
Stephan's shoes scuffed the ground, as he blazed out of her store. He could not turn off the ignition of anger coursing through his veins. He wondered how ignoble these barbaric people are. He arrived home, and his father Mr. Logan, smiled on seeing him, and asked him, "Where have you been Steph?"
Stephan replied, "Bloody ignoramus!" Everybody paused what they were doing. Stephan's little twin sisters were playing Ludo. And his mom was picking beans out of shaft - preparing to make dinner. Silence engulfed the air with Stephan's reply. Mr. Logan then said, "My son you know I did not go to school. What is ignoramus?"
Stephan replied, "Is it not that old shabby, tatty mama Deborah, who sells snacks and food stuffs across the road." His father looked sideways at his mother, with eyes clouded with confusion. Then he turned and asked Stephan, "What did mama Deborah do to you?"
"I've been terribly hungry, thanks to mummy. I don't know if she wants the moon to start dancing on my head before she makes dinner. So I went across to mama Deborah's store, to buy some snacks and a cool bottle of Cocacola to step it down." Mr Logan replied, "Okay..." His eyes was glimmering, "And what happened Steph?"
Stephan continued, "After eating. I paid her. And asked for my balance. But guess what? She told me that in this town, today is - No Balance Day." And the whole house went topsy-turvy, as everybody started laughing profusely. It was the piercing laugher of his little twin sisters that was hurting Stephan the most. Stephan thought in his head, "The aggressive laugher of these two little witches can make a man hang himself."
His mother managed to catch her breath and said, "Just because you went to stay with your uncle overseas for 12 years, doesn't mean that you should forget everything about the tradition of your hometown."
Stephan squeezed his face, until his face was turning green like Hulk, as he replied "But mom, I thought that tradition was just scuttlebutt." His mom replied, "You should go ask mama Deborah!" His little twin sisters burst into laugher again. Stephan's head turned to red fire like Ghost Rider as he chased after his little twin sisters.
