You should listen to her,
Father says,

Come and find her.
Gol’s eyes widen

I can feel her
trying to tell me something.

if only I could understand.

Mama looks at me with a smile,
and I feel scared.

It is like hide and seek, Kek,
She looks at Gol.

It will be fun.
Lual pats my back,

but all I feel

is a cold breeze
passing through.

I feel Gol passing by me

and the grass

whishing makes a whisper in my ear.
Kek,

I hear,
Your village is destroyed.

I look over to Lual and Father

but then
they disappear,

like nothing was ever there.

The trees, once vibrant with life,
have all died now.
