On The Night Of Friday, The 26Th Of November, 1703, And At The Hour Of
Eleven, The Door Of A Miserable Habitation, Situated In an Obscure
Quarter Of The Borough Of Southwark, Known As The Old Mint, Was Opened;
And A Man, With A Lantern In His Hand, Appeared At The Threshold. This
Person, Whose Age Might Be About Forty, Was Attired In a Brown
Double-Breasted Frieze Coat, With Very Wide Skirts, And A Very Narrow
Collar; A Light Drugget Waistcoat, With Pockets Reaching To The Knees;
Black Plush Breeches; Grey Worsted Hose; And Shoes With Round Toes,
Wooden Heels, And High Quarters, Fastened By Small Silver Buckles. He
Wore A Three-Cornered Hat, A Sandy-Coloured Scratch Wig, And Had A Thick
Woollen Wrapper Folded Round His Throat. His Clothes Had Evidently Seen
Some Service, And Were Plentifully Begrimed With The Dust Of The
Workshop. Still He Had A Decent Look, And Decidedly The Air Of One
Well-To-Do In The World. In Stature, He Was Short And Stumpy; In Person,
Corpulent; And In countenance, Sleek, Snub-Nosed, And Demure.
Immediately Behind This Individual, Came A Pale, Poverty-Stricken Woman,
Whose Forlorn Aspect Contrasted Strongly With His Plump And Comfortable
Physiognomy. She Was Dressed In a Tattered Black Stuff Gown, Discoloured
By Various Stains, And Intended, It Would Seem, From The Remnants Of
Rusty Crape With Which It Was Here And There Tricked Out, To Represent
The Garb Of Widowhood, And Held In Her Arms A Sleeping Infant, Swathed
In The Folds Of A Linsey-Woolsey Shawl. [mehr]

LEXI’S BABY SITTER
*************************
NARRATION
*************************
A Man’s Best Friend happened to be no other but a dog.
Everywhere he went, his best friend followed him with an unwavering banner of loyalty with or without a collar and a leach as symbolized by the non-verbal communication of the constant tail wagging…
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
Beware all ye readers, for this is an anti-hero story where man becomes the antagonist and dog becomes the protagonist in the natural setting OF THE WILD HABITATION OF HUMANITY
The Poet Emmanuel Kojo Baah presents
*************************
LEXI’S BABY SITTER
*************************
Yes sometimes, a dog dreams, and becomes a hero.
And sometimes a dog gets on the nerves of a man.
A dog could make a man angry like a nagging little kid.
A dog could whimper.
A dog could howl like a wolf.
And the most scary, intimidating and annoying sound of all that a dog could make is barking.
Hark. A dog harks, and spits, and grinds all of its canines together, ready to tear up any Frankenstein and nibble the bones clean, especially when put on hunger strike.
This story is set in Ghana, in Africa, for the convenience of the author’s cinematic aspirations and artistic endeavors to represent it in his filmmaking career. The site where the action and sequence of events had taken place might also peak the curiosity of AIC Education’s Annual Changemaker Challenge participants.
The setting is also motivated in serving the purpose of exposing Heritage Academy Farm’s Sustainable Agricultural Site, whose previous manager, was called Appoo Brim. [mehr]

I Was Born In London On The Eighteenth Of June, 1815. The Battle Of
Waterloo Was Being Fought As I Entered This World. Thousands Were Giving
Up Their Lives At The Moment That Life Was Being Bestowed Upon Me. My
Father Was In That Great Battle. Would He Ever Return? My Mother Was But
Eighteen Years Of Age. Anxiety For His Safety, The Exhaustion Of Giving
Me Life Prostrated Her Delicate Constitution. She Died As I Was Being
Born.
I Have Always Kept Her Picture Beside Me. I Have Always Been Bound To
Her By A Tender And Mystical Love. During All The Years Of My Life My
Feeling For Her Could Not Have Been More Intense And Personal If I Had
Had The Experience Of Daily Association With Her Through Boyhood And
Youth.
What Girlish Wistfulness And Sadness There Are In Her Eyes! What A
Gentle Smile Is Upon Her Lips, As If She Would Deny The Deep Foreboding
Of A Spirit That Peered Into A Perilous Future! Her Dark Hair Falls In
Rich Strands Over Her Forehead In an Elfin And Elegant Disorder. Her
Slender Throat Rises Gracefully From An Unloosened Collar. This Picture
Was Made From A Drawing Done By A Friend Of My Father'S Four Months
Before I Was Born. My Old Nurse Told Me That He Was Invalided From The
War; That My Father Had Asked Him To Make The Drawing Upon His Return To
London. Perhaps My Father Had Ominous Dreams Of Her Ordeal Soon To Be.
They Pronounced Me A Fine Boy. I Was Round Faced, Round Bodied, Well
Nourished. The Nurse Read My Horoscope In coffee Grounds. I Was To
Become A Notable Figure In The World. My Mother'S People Took Me In
Charge, Glad To Give Me A Place In Their Household. Here I Was When My
Father Returned From The War, Six Months Later. He Had Been Wounded In
The Battle Of Waterloo. He Was Still Weak And Ill. I Was Told These
Things By My Grandmother In The Succeeding Years. [mehr]
