Bad News
Akpos’ elder brother, Tommy, traveled to London months ago, leaving behind Akpos, their aged mom & their pet cat, Kelly. Last week Tommy called from London to know how they’re doing.
TOMMY: Hello brother! How are you doing? how’s mom and Kelly?
AKPOS: Kelly is Dead!
TOMMY(after a pause): Akpos, bad news is not revealed in that manner. You should have started by saying something like, Kelly fell
inside a well but neighbors are trying to rescue her. Then when I call again, you tell me, Kelly broke her neck and is receiving treatment. Then when I call again, you tell me they did their best but couldn’t save her. That’s how to break a bad news in a mature way. OK?
AKPOS: Okay bros, understood.
TOMMY: Okay, so how is Mom?
AKPOS: Bros, Mom fell inside a well, but neighbours are trying to rescue her.
Tommy is currently in coma.
Time to faint. It's shift.
