The Crate

The Crate

And Violence Begets Violence

The Crate – “Just chuck it over there!”  She didn’t hear the words as they pulled her, as a harbor worker might heave upon an old hawser, from her mother’s womb. Two hands tightened on her ankles and hauled, dragging on her limbs, extracting her, as wet and slippery as an eel, from the birthing canal. “Hurry up, there’s more where she came from!”

Remembering

A Shaft Of Sunlight – The prisoner walked along the narrow corridor towards the place of execution. Many others had gone before her and the concrete floor was covered in blood, and worse. The floor – a path as terminal as the route taken by a falling star – was slick beneath her feet, and she struggled to keep her balance.

The Reality Of Tonje’s Second Volunteer Experience

Volunteering – An African Experience – Part 2. This is Tonje’s second experience – volunteering in Africa.  After I went home, I talked with another woman who told me she would open her own rehabilitation centre and that she would care for lions and other animals. Since I had met this woman at this other park and I thought she was a really nice person, my best friend and I decided to go as volunteers to her place in South Africa (Ingwe Wildlife Centre).
