The heat was oppressive that afternoon in Ntcheu, a small village where the earth held onto the memory of every step, every whispered word, and every broken promise.
The air felt thick with secrets, the dust swirling in lazy circles, catching the last breath of the fading sun. On the path that wound between maize fields, the sounds of chatter drifted from every direction, wives calling to husbands, children running barefoot, and elders gossiping with the gravity of those who had lived a thousand lives.
By the river, under the shade of ancient mango trees that had borne witness to more history than the villagers cared to remember, Thandiwe and Mumbi sat on a weathered log, their feet barely skimming the surface of the cool water.
The sounds of the village had become a distant hum in the background, leaving only the rhythmic sound of the river as they spoke.
Nneka Solomon, part-time educator full-time chronicler of small-town life, spends her days navigating the unpredictable waters of academia and her evenings crafting fantastical tales where the local gossip mill becomes a cauldron of magical intrigue and the town square transforms into a bustling marketplace for enchanted wares.
