Ixesha lokugqibela laliyizolo. Kukho abo bakwenza kwangaphambili, nabo bafunda "kwangaphambili" kwiindaba zabanye abantu. Kodwa ndiphumile endlwini: imisebenzi ivuliwe, ndingaphandle, kusebusuku, ndihleka. "Owu, ingaba namhlanje?"—amagama amathathu aguqula uLwesibini ube yi-sprint. Ngomso ndiza kuqala ngokwahlukileyo. Ndikutsho kanye amaxesha amaninzi njengoko kukho ingomso.

Iseshini yokuhlekisa ehleli yedwa yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuvavanya ihlaya: ukuba iqabane lakho lihleka kuphela, ngoko ke ihlaya lenzelwe nina nobabini.

Eyona nto ilungileyo ngokudlala ngababini lixesha apho bobabini balibale khona isiqhelo sabo baze baqale ukuthetha ngokwenene.

Savumelana ukuba singaphazamisi. Sahlala malunga nemizuzu emine—kwaye, ngenene, loo nto yirekhodi.

Ngalo lonke ixesha ndizithembisa ukuba ndiza kulala kwangethuba, ifowuni iphinda ikhuphe ividiyo, kwaye emva kwemizuzu engamashumi amane ayisekho nto.

Ngalo lonke ixesha ndizithembisa ukuba ndiza kulala kwangethuba, ifowuni yam indixelela ngevidiyo entsha. Emva kwemizuzu engamashumi amane, ndilele ebumnyameni, ndihleka i-raccoon, eveki yayo ibimbi kakhulu kuneyam.

Kusoloko kufana apha: ipaseji, udonga, kunye nengcinga ethi, "Kutheni ndisenza oku nje?" Idlula kanye xa uhleka okokuqala.

Eyona mizuzu mihlanu ibalaseleyo yemiboniso yileyo ingabhalwanga. Ayinakuphindwa kwinqanaba lesibini.

Okukhona iholo lincinci, kokukhona loyikeka ngakumbi: kwelikhulu awunakubona ubuso, kodwa apha ungabona wonke umntu ongahlekiyo.

Iqabane lam leqonga. Nguye owokuqala ukuhleka amahlaya am—amnandi kwaye ayathandabuzeka.

Siza kuyilungisa loo nto kwangoko, sisakhumbula igumbi. Emva kosuku, ukhumbula ubuso bakho kuphela.

Uphinda umbhalo, ndenza ngathi andikhathazeki. Sobabini siyaxoka.

Akukho silwanyana, akukho mqondiso, akukho mculo. Imakrofoni nje—kwaye ungayibona kwangoko ukuba ihlaya liyasebenza okanye akunjalo.
