Durban has great landscape, exhibiting steep slopes and very mountainous. Since I am a lover of hiking, i decided to visit the place for great walks. So i boarded a bus at the local market place to Durban. I gazed at the window and saw angry cumulonimbus clouds nearly enveloping the sky. Darkness was drifting on mother earth. I could see that there was going to be a very destructive storm. As I was looking, I saw a young man. He was tall, slender, light in complexion and had a benevolent appearance. The man was coming towards the bus with an extreme slowness like a man who wants to retreat but his feet insisted on going forward. He was walking with great pride like a soldier who had won his first time in war. I saw an intensive sparkling brightness in his eyes. I noticed that the man had the same bag as mine but I did not put it into mind. The man sat next to me in the bus. After about an hour, I fell asleep and woke up just before the bus arrived at my destination. The young man who had been sitting next to me had already dropped off at his destination. When the bus stopped in Durban, i placed my hand under the seat to retrieve my bag and got off. My conscious told me to open the bag. I did and discovered that the contents of the bag were not mine. I felt i was dreaming, i started to panick and my mind was just everywhere!. If only I had not slept in the bus, if only I was more careful and alert, if only I had postponed my journeys. My mind was everywhere! A brilliant yellow, briefly illuminated the velvet blackness that started to bath the earth . The wind howled loudly while the frogs croaked in nearby fish ponds. The noise was deafening and made my heart beat faster. Suddenly thick, hard and very cold raindrops started hitting my body. I tried to accelerate but I could not. The wind pushed me backwards and all my strength was drained away. My clothes were soaked in water as I moved languidly. Lightning flashed and struck tall gum trees causing them to collapse onto the ground. My eyes were dim and blurry for me to see the road. Lost, cold, contemplating and darting left and right. Waiting for the rain to stop so I can call the police and help me to find my bag. I sat there in the rain, nowhere to go and thought, I had taken a leap into the unknown which had led to a disaster.
