WHAT ALMOST KILLED ME😂

Hello niggas...
Story time.....

So, there was a time I and my cousins, together with my childhood friends used to make men in our own image...
Okay, maybe not in our own image, because I don't look like what's on the thumbnail 🤣😂
We use to make play toys with electric cables.

We made men, warriors, cars, aeroplane and so many other toys we couldn't buy.
I was taught how to make these things by my cousins when the came from River state to Uyo for holidays.
I enjoyed thier stay, the gist, the night talks, the movies we watched together and the stories we made up with the toys.

When the holidays was over, they had started preparing and packing up to return. I felt sad because I knew before I'd see them again, it would be after 8 months or even a year.
In the day of thier departure, they left some of those men they made with me.
But as time went on, the toys kept disappearing . I didn't know where to find materials to make new ones, but after some times, my friends in the neighborhood started bringing cables for me, I didn't know where they got the cables from, my job was to make the men, and we would play together with the men.

After some time, we needed to make more men, so I decided to source for the cables too.
We would go round the neighborhood in search for cables, we used the red ones for the heroes, and the black ones for the villains.
That time, if you have a generator, when you're done using it, fold your cable ( wires ) and put them inside. Because if we find it.... otilor (it's gone)🤣😂.
Not that we stole oo 😂🤣.

So one day, as usual we saw this cable outside, suspended from the ceiling of our landlord's apartment. Being that there was no source of electricity from the generator because it was off. I thought I should cut part of the wire and take it. As fearless as I was, I held the wire with my bare hand.
If I tell you that I saw my forefathers that day, you won't believe me😂🤣.
My friends ran in different directions, they thought I was gone.
So it happened that there was a leak in the changeover that cause NEPA light to pass through the generator cable, which is not supposed to be so.
And the worst was that I never knew there was light. I wouldn't have touched it.
The kind of electric shock I got could make me FLASH.
But thank God I'm alive.

I don think we made those toys again till after many years😂🤣.....
