THE FORGOTTEN VIRTUE - 2 months ago

In the picturesque yet decadent Disney town of Ettebi, there lived a young man of virtuous heart and handsome features, named Udoidiong. 

Amidst the Sodomic and Gomorrah-like ways of life that dominated the town, Udoidiong remained true to his moral compass. He was a source of hope and inspiration for the few who still desired a righteous path.

One fateful day, Udoidiong's best friend and love interest, Uyai-Obong, questioned their relationship.

Udoidiong, unable to express his feelings, stuttered out the words "dear we are just friends and I guess best of friends." Uyai-Obong, hurt by his response, left him for a deceitful suitor. 

This sudden rejection plunged Udoidiong into a spiral of loneliness. Bereft of companionship, he became a shell of his former self, haunted by his unrequited love and isolation. 

One tragic night, his asthmatic condition flared up without warning. Desperate for his inhaler, he searched in vain, gasping for air.

In the silence of his lonely house, Udoidiong drew his last breath. His heart, heavy with unspoken love and sorrow, stilled forever. 

It took two long weeks for the townsfolk to realize that their beloved Udoidiong had passed. The town that once turned a blind eye to his kindness now wept for his loss. 

Udoidiong's funeral was a somber affair, a testament to his goodness and the sadness of a life unfulfilled. The town buried him with tears and songs of lamentation, bidding farewell to the young man who had embodied the virtues they had abandoned.

As the soil was heaped upon his casket, a golden ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, as if to signify Udoidiong's soul taking flight towards the heavens. 

A town that had once turned its back on him now realized its mistake too late. For what had been lost was not only a good man, but also a beacon of hope and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, goodness still existed. 

And so, the tale of Udoidiong came to a close, a cautionary tale of love, loss, and the price of silence in a world of debauchery.

And thus, in the annals of Ettebi's history, Udoidiong became a legend, the paragon of virtue, whose purity had proven stronger than the temptations of the Sodomic and Gomorrah-like ways of the town. His name became a metaphor for selflessness, strength of character, and unrequited love. 

For those who mourned him, his absence was a gaping hole that could never be filled.

And so, dear reader, as the echoes of this tale fade into memory, take heed: 

Remember Udoidiong, the young man who held fast to his principles, even when it cost him his life. 

Remember Uyai-Obong, whose pride blinded her to the truth. 

Remember the town, whose revelry eclipsed its compassion. 

Remember, lest we forget.

For in the end, it is not the riches or pleasures of the world that matter, but the quiet courage of those who stand for what is right, even if they stand alone.
