Nina wore a long and confused look, she could have sworn she left her phone charging on the white plastic table beside the yellow painted wall. How else could she explain her phone charger still plugged to the wall socket.
She had kept her gaze fixed to a spot, trying to figure out if all that had transpired was simply a prank orchestrated by her room mates. Or if the original owners (thieves) were behind the disappearance of her phone.
Her roommates seemed busy and alien to the fact that her phone was missing despite her incessant plea that her phone be returned. Being in a bad mood and not wanting to burst into tears while demanding for everyone's attention, she quietly took some steps to the middle of the room in order to gain attention, and also ask that her phone be returned. She'd imagined that someone was trying to play a trick on her knowing the phone was merely two weeks old, moreover her roommates regarded themselves as big girls in school, who would ever believe that a 'big girl," could afford to stoop so low. It was simply unimaginable that one of them stole the phone.
"The person that took Nina's phone should return it ooo," kemi, one of her roommates ranted, "I don't have money to contribute for a stolen phone." a cliche people used to avoid suspicion.
As the whole drama unfolded, Nina only got irritated, then she decided that a quick nap would do her a whole lot of good since by then she'd known that the thief had no intention of returning her phone.
If only she could sniff out the perpetrators with her nose, she'd be a lot better.
The point of this piece is to show our vulnerabilities. As good as the nose is, it would have been really perfect if we could sniff out evil people from the crowd. Lots of people surround us. True friends and pretenders. Pretenders who can perfectly hide the content of their hearts without making a mistake.
If there is an offense levelled against the nose it would be its inability to smell evil from afar, a great offense against our person.
