Desert Safari

It only hurts if it's true. The majority prefer BBI to common sense because it doesn't hurt; comforting lies never hurt. They simply give you bragging rights. 

So the fellow brags about the photo they took with Chance The Rapper, but the person in the mirror knows they really didn't get a chance to meet the rapper. Since common sense is no longer common, the person in the mirror refuses to testify. 

The comforting lie  controls them like an inclination for scrolling through Facebook feed. The Facebook user looks at their morning routine, but their inclination is to skip everything and scroll. Two hours in, and they come across a meme, shouting:

UNA MATAKO NDOGO NA UNAENDA HAJA KUBWA.

They haha that post. Six hours pass, and they remember that they haven't read the BBI.

"Kenya is not a reading nation," they say. "Pilipili nisiyoila yaniwashia ya nini?" 

They utter some profanity about the BBI, and proceed to open the Youtube app. 

They come across a video titled, 'The Doctor, Lawyer, and BBI sympathizer.' They click to watch.

The trio decides to take a desert safari. Their car breaks down at a place that would even make the devil repent because the heat is unbearable. 

Four days pass, and there is still no sign for help.

The doctor fetches water from the radiator and pours it in a bottle. The lawyer removes the bonnet while the BBI sympathizer breaks the door.

The trio continues with their journey on foot. All you hear is the sound of desert winds, similar to the ones experienced by the Alchemist. 

"Daktari," the lawyer interrupts the desert sound. "Why did you take water from the radiator?"

"Well," he gave that look that doctors give to their clients when they want to exhaust their medical insurance. "To mitigate dehydration."

"I see!"

"You!" The doctor gazed at the BBI sympathizer. "Why are you wandering in the desert carrying a broken Land Rover door?"

No answer!

"He's a mute," the lawyer responded. "I know you didn't ask, but the bonnet I'm carrying is meant to provide shade for us when the weather gets hotter."

"Brilliant idea," the doctor added.

"Listen," the BBI sympathizer finally spoke. "I'm not a mute. This broken door does a better job than all your brilliant ideas combined---"

"How so?" 

The BBI sympathizer responded angrily, "When the sun rises, I'll roll up the windows!"

If you know, you know!
