I laid there wishing the lights would come so the chill of the fan could lure my eyes to sleep but I knew that was far-fetched. It was the disconnection carried out by Electricity Company that had kept the entire compound in a complete black out, leading to the agony I was experiencing. I could not imagine that the money jointly paid for the electricity bills, never got to the proper quarters. It had been rumoured that the landlord had been robbed while he sat drunk in a bar, which made him unable to pay, leaving us to suffer this fate. For a week, everyo

I walked home, slightly shivering in my threadbare school uniform. As I got to the front steps, I met the scariest sight I had ever seen. Mum was huddled by the door, crying profusely, surrounded by all our worldly possessions. I was shocked. What had happened? I had never seen mum cry before. Not ever! Not even when dad left and she was blank and unfocused for weeks. Not even when we lost Ma Jamil. I had heard her sniffling on some nights. But crying? This was a first.

Why are our things outside?” I asked. “I am not crying. Come here.”
