He looked at them with disdain, hissed and replied he was leaving for another hotel. He, obviously, could not tell them the reason for his anger, harsh tone and sudden change of mind. Of course, they were aware but pretended not to know. They offered to help him get a refund, an offer he quickly accepted.

A SHORT STORY

Image
Somewhere in Nigeria.  Anthony was a criminal, a wanted person avoiding being arrested for various crimes. The law was hot in pursuit. Law enforcement agents were looking for him, therefore, he decided to leave town and relocate to another state until things cool off. He might even do better in crime in the new state where no one knows him. Travelling by road was risky, Policemen on the highway might spot him. He decided to travel by train. Many coaches, he can easily pass unnoticed among the crowd. Good idea.  Anthony goes about disguised with fake moustache, hairstyle, eyelashes, adjusted eyebrows and other stuffs he does on his appearance to look very different from who the Police is  actually looking for. It was early in the morning, he put on his disguise and arrived at the train station.  He headed confidently towards the ticketing section. Unfortunately for him, the train administration recently stopped receiving cash for tickets sales....
