Indifferent

When Christopher's mother eloped with her lover, his father, Peter, married a new wife named Martha who thought of no one but herself as she could not put to birth... One day, Christopher got a high-grade fever,

and was in very bad shape as all herbs had failed and no one thought to call a physician. Blinded by grief and unforgiveness, his father remained indifferent; so Martha took the Poor Boy to her prophet who declared Christopher a wizard: "A child of sin – a vile creature that barricades the door to Martha's womb." Peter disowned his son at his wife's behest and unfeeling chased him away from the house without pity, without mercy as the poor boy could not debunk their unfounded verdict...

Christopher then found a friend in Micah – a little hawker from the neighbourhood whose errant father batters his wife, and cares not for his children, for with another woman he has an affair.

No sooner, the two friends found other boys with kindred fate living underneath the bridge at the outskirts of town (for these mysteries happen everywhere), and in twos and threes, they began to roam the streets, unkempt and desiccated, fending for themselves like sheep without a shepherd...

When I first saw these children at the marketplace: peddling, begging and scavenging for daily bread, I could not help but wonder who is responsible for this calamity...

And for many days, though I had long gone, still, this memory lingers in my head.
And so, I set my heart to tell this tale that men might see the world in a grain of sand...
