A collection of five stories explore the fragility of dreams. Prodding, oh so careful, just how far one must bend their back to catch a glimpse of heaven.

 

Bikuna has no womb – a woman with no belly button has no friends. [Zimbiro]

Chenda becomes Chanda – refugee hidden in plain sight. [Bow to Enter Heaven]

Umweo is a taloned god – judge of the world's sins. [Umweo's Talon]

Ntalwe feasts on flesh – gory dinners on a seabed of guilt.  [Secrets of the Sea]

Dane, king of rocks, longs for glittered valleys – fall he must, to know his place.[The Greyling's Quest]

 

All must bow to enter heaven. The short fiction stories have elements of fantasy and some draw on real life experiences.
