Opis

This is a true story which is centered around a weekend of activities as a teenager. I had just collected my pay and thought that it would be fun going to a movie at the parish's capital. Instead, I travelled an additional thirty two miles to the country's capital, all because the bus conductor did not collect any bus-fare from me. Of course, I considered the bus ride very exciting and would travel as far as I could, with no cost being incurred. On arrival in the city of Kingston that Friday night, I went about exploring and was like a rude street boy all around town at times. The encounters and other experiences I had were numerous, exciting, and challenging in some instances. There was no real hurry to get back home, as I wanted more and more information to share with my peers. The available means of communication were then quite limited as there was no mobile telephone service in place. Family members and friends would therefore have no other option than to hope for the best once I could not be found. With only a penny remaining in my pocket at approximately eleven o'clock on Saturday night, it then occurred to me that it was time to go back home. It turned out that I walked for over twenty miles during my bid to get back home. Numerous situations were experienced on my way back home. Hunger, thirst, and tiredness were among the challenges faced. Featured in the book, is an area which I referred to as the "dreaded Enterprise Gully." A number of persons died there when the bus they were travelling in overturned many years before. Approaching midnight on Sunday, fear of travelling unaccompanied past this dark and lonely area was a real issue for me. All of this culminated into a vivid encounter with ghosts during the wee hours of Monday morning. The story is a colourful one and considered to be very exciting by all my audience. Incorporated in the book are a number of subject areas inclusive of history, general science, geography, literature psychology and psychiatry. The book is very descriptive and readers will no doubt find it quite intriguing and amusing. Descriptions of various scenery and specified situations are exciting and thrilling in many instances. The Editorial letter has stated: "Your descriptions of landscapes are hauntingly beautiful." Certainly, readers will also share the same sentiment. Descriptions of the night sky, Caribbean Sea, Blue Mountain Range and other settings will no doubt fascinate the reader. There is something in this book which will capture the imagination and arouse the interest of every reader. Most importantly, the information included, will be of particular interest and benefit to students and other individuals who are excited about literature.
