Kathleen had already left when Jeremy came back late in the afternoon. Danny, walking on clouds and scarcely able to believe his good fortune in landing the woman of his dreams, was on the verge of breaking the news when he decided against it. The deciding factor was Jeremy’s pallor and mood, which was unusually [...]

While Jeremy was reliving a part of history at Makhadzi, Danny on the other hand was busy coping with an entirely different issue which was leaving him stupefied during most of the discourse he became entangled in. At the end of this matter he decided that he could only but agree with the age-old cliché: [...]

Jeremy’s feet found solid ground as he was thrown back to Makhadzi. “Mon grace!” he exclaimed. “Where will it stop?” It was obviously two, three months later. The whole camp had undergone some changes again. There seemed to be more order somehow, a platoon soldiers were marching along the neat clearing in the centre, up [...]

“Halt right there, James!” The call came from the top of the ridge and a warning shot was fired into the air. Peter was scrambling down the slope on the back of Champion. James was about four meters from the opposite bank and he swung around, at the same time groping for his own gun [...]

Poor Jeremy had to deal with spells of giddiness every time the scenes changed from one or two days to the next day or week. Things were developing fast. Again and again as he came to his senses, the area had undergone some changes: A new wooden building was erected, one of the soldiers had [...]

The moment the oxwagon had stopped there was a forward surge of inquisitive soldier bodies. “Good day, Gentlemen!” the transporter greeted, taking off his hat. He motioned for his driver and the other helpers to stay put. “I’ve just come to drop off the lady and we’ll be on our way.” Before anyone could reply [...]

“This is going to cause some upheaval, James,” the soldier was saying as Jeremy drew near and once more he hit the sheet of paper with the back of his hand. “No, worse! This is trouble! What frustrates me more than anything is that I can do nothing about it. Can’t stop it. Can’t reply [...]

Jeremy ran straight through the apparition and was out of the door in a flash. He jumped the few wooden stairs and ran like mad to the car. He was digging in his pockets for the key and looked up in the process, white as a sheet and with sweat running down his brow. His [...]
