Possessed Flight ✈️
<p><br/></p><p>THE JAPA DREAM 😂✈️</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It was one of those evenings when the whole family was sitting together in the living room.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy was on his usual spot.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy was peeling oranges.</p><p><br/></p><p>The children were doing what children do best—pretending to listen while secretly doing something else.</p><p><br/></p><p>The topic of discussion?</p><p><br/></p><p>*JAPA*</p><p><br/></p><p>“Honestly,” Daddy said, “if we can get the opportunity, I think we should consider leaving.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Consider?” Mummy asked. “I have already considered it since 2019.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Everybody laughed.</p><p><br/></p><p>One of the children said, “Mummy, where would you even go?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Anywhere that has light.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“That's not a country.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't care. As long as NEPA doesn't know my address.” 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>The conversation continued.</p><p><br/></p><p>Canada.</p><p>UK.</p><p>America.</p><p>Money.</p><p>Visa.</p><p>Jobs.</p><p>Accommodation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everybody had an opinion.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eventually, they all went to bed.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nothing unusual.</p><p>Or so they thought.</p><p><br/></p><p>That night, one of the children had a strange dream.</p><p><br/></p><p>In the dream, she was in the air.</p><p><br/></p><p>She wasn't exactly sure whether she was inside a plane.</p><p><br/></p><p>She couldn't see the pilot.</p><p><br/></p><p>She couldn't even properly see the aircraft.</p><p><br/></p><p>She only knew one thing:</p><p><br/></p><p>She was travelling.</p><p><br/></p><p>And somehow, she could feel that she was going far away.</p><p><br/></p><p>The next morning, she woke up and went straight to her parents.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mummy.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I had a dream.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy stopped what she was doing.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What kind of dream?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't really understand it. I just knew I was travelling. I was in the air. I don't know if it was a plane, but I was just… flying.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy slowly put down what she was holding.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Flying?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Flying HOW?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mummy, I don't know.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Were you alone?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I think so.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Did you see anybody?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“No.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Was the sky dark?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't remember.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy's eyes widened.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy looked up from his phone.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What's wrong?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy turned to him.</p><p><br/></p><p>“This child said she was flying in her dream.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy paused.</p><p><br/></p><p>“And?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy lowered her voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't like it.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The child blinked.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Don't like what?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy looked at her suspiciously.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who have you been talking to?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mummy! Nobody!”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Are you sure?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Yes!”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Did anybody give you anything?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“No!”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Have you eaten anywhere outside recently?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mummy, what does food have to do with flying?”</p><p><br/></p><p> 😭</p><p>Daddy started laughing.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Leave the girl alone. She probably just dreamt about the JAPA conversation we had yesterday.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy immediately turned to him,with a fierce lioness expression 😠</p><p><br/></p><p>“Honey ,abeg no start that one"</p><p><br/></p><p>😂😂😂</p><p>“Yesterday we were talking about travelling. Today she is flying in her dream. You think these things are ordinary?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy stared at her.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Then what do you think she is?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy folded her arms.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I don't know yet.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The child was now genuinely confused.</p><p><br/></p><p>“So… am I travelling or am I possessed?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Nobody answered.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy picked up her phone.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I need to call somebody.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Our pastor.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The child shouted:</p><p><br/></p><p>“MUMMY, I JUST DREAMT ABOUT A PLANE!”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy replied:</p><p><br/></p><p>“Exactly. And that's how it starts.”</p><p><br/></p><p>😭😭😭</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy couldn't hold himself anymore.</p><p><br/></p><p>He burst out laughing.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Please, let this child breathe!”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy ignored him.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Everybody should pray tonight.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The child quietly walked away.</p><p><br/></p><p>Five minutes later, she came back.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Mummy?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“What?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Can I tell you something else?”</p><p>Mummy froze.</p><p><br/></p><p>“What?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I think the place I was travelling to looked nice.”</p><p>Mummy's eyes widened.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Jesus!”</p><p><br/></p><p>Daddy nearly fell off his chair.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Now what?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Mummy pointed at the child.</p><p><br/></p><p>“She has already seen the destination!”</p><p><br/></p><p>😂😂😂</p><p>And just like that, what started as a simple family discussion about JAPA had become a full-blown spiritual investigation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nobody was talking about visa again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nobody was talking about Canada.</p><p><br/></p><p>They were now discussing who might be behind the dream.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, the child was just standing there thinking:</p><p><br/></p><p>“I should have kept my mouth shut.” 😭✈️</p><p><br/></p>
