He has always been tough and hard core but when he came in contact with Cherryl, she awoke tender emotion in him that caused the hardness he is made of to evaporate. He desired her with a selfish hunger but Cherryl wanted him for good. He thought he wasn`t good enough for her. However, when he reached a breaking point, he had no option than to let go. It is not always dark; darkness surely gives way to light once light is introduced. Weeping indeed endures for the night but Joy comes with the limelight of the morning. Cherryl brought light to Desmond and this book can bring you the light you so much desire. “Why is everybody and everything against him? Why didn’t he die at child-birth or even in the operating room during those unsuccessful surgeries? Why is he not like the other of his mates? Why is everybody wicked and callous? Why is there no kind person around in the whole world? These and other series of questions bothered him so much that he refused to go to class for the night prep that evening; rather he laid down on his bed and wept himself to sleep... Who said a blind man can’t dream? Who said a handicapped can’t have vision and pursue it with vigour? Desmond refused to be tagged invalid or handicapped, he knew he was headed somewhere and he sure wasn’t going to allow anyone define him with his disability, He may be disabled in one way but he sure has lots of abilities so he was not going to let the disability over ride all the abilities he is bestowed with.

As they carried him out, he prayed and hoped that someone will see them or even the house master that sent for him but alas, none was insight it was as if they had bribed everyone in the school premises. They carried him out to only God knows where and when they got to their destination, they told him they weren’t there for jokes, he should tell them where that money was or they will kill him.

One of the guys roared, where is the damn cash? Desmond didn’t want to appear frightened to them so he kept mute trying to gain composure... Desmond scampered to the direction he heard the dog’s shrill cry, ‘Brownie, oh, Brownie, please don’t die! As he took some steps further, he stumbled over a log and fell down, he tried getting up but couldn’t, he has broken an ankle. Tears of anguish and pain streamed down his face; he sat there weeping, he felt the grasses rustle around him. Brownie whimpered to his side still shaken from the whole episode...
