The Distance Between Us

Homunculi or Big Rock Monster
If it could wish, it would have wished to know how to count; not that it would have helped much because it wouldn't have thought to start counting until long after it had begun walking.

Lost at Sea, Found in Love
The sea at Amanful, Takoradi, has a particular smell. It is not just salt and brine, but a deep, ancient aroma of fish, damp wood, hot bitumen from the nearby harbour, and the distant, sweet promise of rain on dry earth. It was a smell Kofi Mensah knew as intimately as his own heartbeat. He was a fisherman, not by choice but by blood—a lineage of men who understood the language of the waves and the secrets whispered in the nets.
