"‘He was caught red-handed,’ some were saying. Imagine, bullets in his hands. In broad daylight.’Everybody, even we children, knew that for an African to be caught with bullets or empty shells was treason; he would be dubbed a terrorist, and his hanging by the rope was the only outcome.We could hear gunfire,’ some were saying.I saw them shoot at him with my own eyes.’But he didn’t die!’‘Die? Hmm! Bullets flew at those who were shooting.’No, he flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.’"
