Me and my aunt wait.

We wait for Kek.

SLEEP STORY I

I am with Dave and Hannah, back in my hut at the village.
At first I see no one else, and then

a single cow emerges.
It is Gol.

We stroke her and pet her,
but then the men with guns come

and they shoot her.

I start to cry,
but then suddenly we are on a flying boat.

Hour after hour,
day after day, we stay on the flying boat,

but the flying boat doesn’t land.

All of a sudden I feel
a bump,

and then I see a dark shape getting larger in the window,
and I scream.

It is another flying boat about to crash into us,

but then I am in my class at school,
and when I look at my classmates,

all I see are
hating eyes staring deep into my soul.
