Everyone in Chisoti village knew how arrogant and stubborn Walutanga was but some people had never witnessed any of those traits till that day at the site. The workers heard indistinct voices coming from him and his father, the chief. Voices were slowly rising, getting everyone’s attention. The Chief was on top of his voice and so was Walutanga.The Chief saw that everyone was looking at them, he tried to calm the nonstop talking Walutanga, “Okay let’s talk about this at home.”“No father, we are going to talk about it here!” He yelled.Everyone’s heads turned in shock, their mouths gaped. What sort of disrespectfulness were they witnessing, they all wondered.“I won’t tolerate this, young man,” The chief whispered trying to grab the boy’s hand.Ducking his father’s hand, Walu said, “This school will be built. I have managed to bring it this far with no one’s help but my friend’s. Apparently, we are the only ones who think this village needs another school.”“Boy don’t be stupid,” Jun

Stephen stood, still staring at the book in his hands. *This book, how can a real life experience be transferred into a book, who wrote it?* he thought to himself.Ameliah walked up to him and took his hand…“What’s wrong?” Ameliah asked worriedly…“It’s nothing, this book…It’s not just a story Lia, it’s real” He said still staring at the book…Ameliah gasped in shock…“What?!” She exclaimed…Stephen walked to her wardrobe and placed it back there then he walked up to her…“Do you still remember who sold this book to you” He asked…“Of course I do” She said..“That’s good, tomorrow you’ll take me to where you bought it” He said and she nodded…“Come on, I want to cuddle with you to sleep” Ameliah said pulling Stephen by the hand.She suddenly stopped pulling him and looked at her hand…“Why am I not feeling any spark when i held hands with you like before?” She asked to Stephen…“I don’t know” He said looking at his hands too…*Something smells fishy*, He thought…He shrugged the fee

At Chingwere Level 1 hospital, a patient in a ward kept shouting and screaming at the nurses. It had been three days now since he was brought in. The people who brought him in didn't wait to answer much questions; they just dropped him in and rushed back to where they had come from. The only thing the nurses knew was that he was a prince from a certain village which apparently, the Chief’s house had caught fire. They felt pity for him because he is the sole survivor of the ghastly accident; His whole family had died in the fire outbreak.Two nurses heard the loud screams from the ward. “When will he shut up?” The first nurse asked.“He’s in pains and you could see he is a village boy, he’s probably scared and not used to all these,” the second nurse added.“Huh, it’s now becoming irritating and he still doesn’t want anyone to wash his wounds. How will he get well?”“He got burnt so bad. His whole leg is reddish. These jobs we dream of. Sometimes i just wish i was a teacher.”“Just go

Many, Many years ago in Chisoti village, something atrocious happened that each and every person who had heard or witnessed it never wanted it to be mentioned again.Like each day, 26 year old Chovu returned from the field with his younger brother Mapulanga. They were the closest amongst their siblings. They had two sisters and one older brother who was the next in line to become the chief. The siblings were known to have gotten along with each other perfectly especially when one was in trouble.Chovu and Mapulanga reached their house and found their sisters preparing supper for the whole family. Their elder brother was talking to their old sick father and was not to be disturbed.“They are talking again?” Mapulanga looked at Chovu.“They always talk, these two. I wonder what they talk about huh,” Chovu added.“We know he’s the next in line but we all want the attention too.”Chovu laughed, “Look at you, like you’re a teenager crying for attention. He’s probably being moulded into bec

Trying to think of what had happened in the two villages in two consecutive nights bothered and gave Hunter a terrible headache. He had first thought of Ben and Devi and knowing them, he knew everything was about the land. What if they planned on getting rid of Chief Chovu’s whole family including his daughter in the other village? He asked himself. What was the big deal with the land that they were willing to go to the extent of killing everyone in their way? He knew they worked as contractors but who was behind all the scheme? He remembered what Walutanga’s sister said before dying. She mentioned something about children, did she mean her children? That wasn’t his concern at the moment but Walu was and he had to get to him as soon possible. He didn’t know why but there was some sort of urgency in his heart and through his job in the past, he learned to trust his instinct.The truck he had gotten onto had many problems on the way. They had to stop several times to repair it. Despite
