Sunday, November 26th

Last night had to be the most devastating night we have had since the passing of my aunt, Ntokozo.

*flashback

I run back inside and find Gogo Nomzamo laying on the floor, lifeless with multiples gunshot wounds and she's laying in a pool of her own blood.

Everyone else is still in the basement. Tears make their way out of my eyes.

Dad: I'm sorry, son.

I run down to the basement and hug Angela tightly.

Angela: Junior, my grandmother is still out there. we realised she was not with us when we got down here. did you find her?

I pull her away gently and look into her eyes.

Me: I'm so sorry.
Angela: no!
Me: I'm sorry, baby.
Angela: no, Junior! no!

She starts sobbing painfully and her sobs fill the room. This moment pierces trough my heart. I really can't bear to see her like this.

*back to the present time.

Angela was crying all night and she didn't get much sleep so I don't want to wake her up. Her uncle is coming today, along with his kids this time. They really don't like Angela so I just know it's going to be a long week.
