His narration: “’Please, declare me wanted!” I was stupefied. I blinked and looked at him again. “What did you say,” I asked.

“Please, I want you to declare me wanted,’ he repeated.

“Why do you want to be declared wanted,” I inquired, amused.

“Actually, I am applying for asylum at XYZ embassy. During the interview, I told them that I am being persecuted to the point of being declared wanted by the police.
