A quote from the comments section of the story:
"In Mombasa this is common. They tried it on me. You suddenly feel weak and you can't even open your mouth and scream but you feel like something is not right! The Swahili houses are notorious for these things. What I did was to mentally force myself up and forced my eyes open. Days later the Muslim landlord in frustration, told me that I was a tough one to crack! I did not change houses to prove a point. I got myself large pieces pigs bones and scattered them all over the house to support my course! LOL. Anyway, what wrong with Muslims?" (sic)
Wonders kweli!
