Short folk story.
All she knew was laughter. Silalela! The men of her village looked away.
"Pah!" They said, "She is impure! Her spirit has no breath. What has she given us, but laughter? What will she ever take, but joy?"
The wise inyanga pressed his palm to her heart. "It is cold," he said, "You must warm your heart before any man will desire it."
"Yebo!" She cried, "Then that is what I shall do!"
This was written as an exercise in writing a performance-style folk tale in a style we're not familiar with. I don't know much about the Zulu culture apart from enjoying their stories, so I am sure there are errors. If there are any please let me know as I'm here to learn!

Mob Bloodline
Note: This book is undergoing heavy editing and re-writing. Thank you She was soaked in blood from head to toe. Her clothes were sticky and the air was filled with the smell of death. Her guns lay on the pillow and her head was on her grandmothers shoulder. She kept on singing a lullaby to her grandmothers lifeless body. She has failed her, she had failed the only mission her uncle gave her before he passed. "Protect ugogo." That is all the he said before he passed. She had killed every single one of them but one bullet came through the window and it was over. Tears flowed freely from her eyes. She was alone in the world now and she didn't want to go on without her Gogo.Complete
