Mabimbi's Story
Hello my name is Mabimbi and I was a slave on one of the slave ships but I have now escaped and am free. I will try to tell you my story but my memories going a bit but so I will tell you up to where I can remember clearly, here goes.My friends and me were playing a game of Walla Walla before lunch, when a medium sized - heavy weight igneous rock, which was thrown from above, came smashing down on my head. Then with only a few seconds to recover a large heavyweight sedimentary rock was thrown from my right and thumped down on my foot. Then a man, of whom I had never seen before, lobbed a small - medium weight metamorphic rock into my stomach. As I pulled my self up off of the floor only to find all my friends being dragged o
Another crewmember came over to me through another door, he picked up two of the chains and then the rough ones grabbed me. After I had just started to get comfortable in my sack a whistling person picked my sack up and pulled open the drawstring. I jumped out and shouted 'Yo ho ho ahoy ho!' which in English means 'What's goin' on!' The man told me he came in peace. I was not on a 1st class holiday to America, I was about to become a 'white devils' slave in America. ff by these men, the man grabbed me and ran with me to catch up with the others. He then said I leave in 1 hour, we started on our way to the port. I forgave him and thought no more of it. They then jammed my legs into the chains, I then horrified realised that the rumours I had heard in my village about the 'white devils' was true. I asked him why I had been treated so roughly, and he replied that it was all part of the surprise. He grabbed my hand and started wobbling it up and down repeatedly, then he said that I had won a 1st class holiday to America. I jumped on the floor and rolled around with happiness. Under deck there were chains on the walls and the floor, I expected this was where they kept the meat. I was separated from my friends, I kept getting thrown around and kept getting kicked in my leg as we caught up with the others they started talking to each other but I could not work out what they were saying, their language was foreign to my ears. I walked up the walkway on to the deck then two rough crewmembers came over to me pushed me under deck so I went with them.
