Edited On Canva

Hello everyone, such a beautiful week to reorganize ourselves towards the best of life's possibilities, I strongly believe you all are doing great?. It is really a challenging topic, but I know we are able to the task, so let me get you on a smooth ride on this movie contest, I sure believe you will enjoy it.

Drama, to my own understanding is the type of literature written on a script with the aim of being acted upon on theatres, television, radio and even other stages. It could be written in verses as well. So drama could be seen to be a genre of literature that is being written down on script so that the actors will act just exactly as it is written on it on theatres and other stages.

Secondly, to further understand what drama is, I made some few research and one seemed to struck my attention, so according to Dictionary.com, they explain drama to be;

"a composition in prose or verse presenting in dialogue or pantomime a story involving conflict or contrast of character, especially one intended to be acted on the stage."link

Birth to Death

• Nonso: A young vibrant man at his early 20s celebrating his 23r birthday.

• Mfon: Nonso's friend and a die hard football team fan

• Roland: Nonso's best friend

• Party Attendees

The long awaited birthday came and Nonso was happy he will be celebrating his birthday, this has always been giving him sleepless nights as he has devoted alot of energy and resources to making the day a memorable one. He woke up early that Friday morning, getting birthday texts and good wishes from family and friends, such a one-day celebrity.

So Nonso had called Mfon to remind him get the cake from the baker since he will be busy doing the decoration with the decorator at home and tidy up a few things before that evening that was his special night and Mfon promised to help him out.

Roland called Nonso after then to inform him that the drinks was ready and he will be on his way very soon, Nonso was happy atleast his friends are helping him with the birthday preparations and this gladdens his heart.

The awaited day night came and it was all gloomy and sparkling for Nonso, this was the night he has been waiting patiently for. At this end, he couldn't control himself, he removed the Champaign His best friend (Roland) bought specially for him, it was quite expensive, a call for cake cutting was made and he cut the cake, tok a bite and everywhere went bursting with loud music and other attendees were enjoying themselves.

After about four hours of steady enjoyment and jubilation, more drinks were ordered while Nonso took his special champagne to his room, took a few sip from it and put stored it in the fridge so he could hurry back down stairs as the he bagn hearing his name.

He went back to his well decorated parlour blasting with sounds of music, he saw the tiredness of his friends and asked them to go shower then rest in the visitors room, for some that were tipsy, he allowed them rest in his parlour as he went packed some few bottles to return to it their respective crates, he became really tired packing the mess so he decided to go get some rest hoping to finish up the next day.

He took his bath and returned to his room, immediately, he decided to lay his head down, he heard some noise coming from the visitor's room, he quickly went downstairs to check what was going on, on getting there, one of the part attendees was lying there lifeless, he couldn't behold his eyes, just within a twinkle of an eye, Mfon was already rolling helplessly on the floor calling for help, from here confusion set in, before he could make an attempt to call the emergency service line, Mfon was already dead.

Nonso couldn't control his tears, he had to call the local authority, they responded immediately, but just before they arrived, one other party attendee was already dead, leaving a total of three death recorded in a night. For some minutes, Nonso started feeling some sharp pains in his stomach and called for the attention of the emergency unit that were still there trying to pack the dead bodies, he was quickly rushed to the nearby clinic where he was diagnosed of food poison.

He couldn't believe his ears and wanted an explanation for it, but he was asked to remain calm and receive his treatment before anyother action is being taken, just then, Roland came crying and apologizing to Nonso, he was asked what went wrong and all he was saying was "I'm sorry Nonso, I was just jealous". It was later gathered that Nonso who was a rival football fan to Roland had bet Roland before then that his (Nonso's) team will win Roland's team and they had to place $500 bet on the game between eachother, it came out that Nonso's team beat Roland's team with 4 to nill and this really got Roland mad, couple with the fact that Nonso was promoted a week before the birthday in the office. So he decided to get back to Nonso by poisoning the champagne he bought for him.

He was arrested and charged for attempted murder because one of the dead body was Roland's girlfriend as well, the birthday party venue was marked as a crime scene and will be opened immediately investigation is over.
