“Your glass seems like it will always be half full even it falls down and shatters to pieces”
K. Jared Hosein , Together We Are Spiders

“You ain’t old yet but when you get old, all the women in the village start to look down on you when they find out you want to do something other than sweep the kitchen or cut up vegetables. Had this big starch mango tree when I was small. Anytime I set myself to climb it, there was always a woman passing by to yell at me and tell me to get down. Asked me why I leaving my poor mother to do all the housework. I never got to the top. It was like God was always watching, ready to send another hag to tell me down. Then, one day, they cut down the tree.”
K. Jared Hosein, Rune Mathura and the Case of the Village Jumbie

“Their eyes searched silently for any sign of life, waiting for some flock of egrets to slingshot out from the bushes, waiting for a single mulletfish to brush the river’s crest, even hoping for a distant whiff of cow dung. Even shit has life in it, after all.”
Kevin Jared Hosein, Hungry Ghosts
