zorro..

The masked man, he rides at night.
At least, he wanders at night. With a flash light, and a giant blanket doubling as a cape.
Or simply being utilized as a coat. Its almost winter and it’s freezing at night.

According to 'eye witnesses'—whoever they are—we have a marauder in our little village.
And during the April—May holiday, the masked prowler has terrorized this little hamlet.
Upon my arrival I discovered that my host family had condensed from their respective bedrooms, and are all camping in Mama J—'s room. A four bedroom house, and only two in use.

Here’s the trouble I have with the situation.
All the lights are left on. All night long. Forget excess energy consumption..
Having the lights on only prevents persons inside the house from looking out and seeing what they fear.
While granted, most of the curtains are pulled…
Anyone outside can sit back and relax for their viewing pleasure.

But don’t you worry.
The community is collecting money for a witch doctor.
I hear she(?) is pretty good.
Not so much on effectiveness of dispelling lurkers, but an excellent storyteller.
Unfortunately my Rukwangali is not (and may never be) up to par..
I’m kind of bummed I’ll be sitting there, in the dark when she(?) comes…
But my first witch doctor?
I will certainly be in the front row.
