A south african story.

Most people know how a game of chess works.

Your Pawns are considered the least important. They are the ones you arent as afraid to lose. 

Your King is the opposite. He is the most important and losing him would be like sinking the black ball before the rest of the balls in a game of pool.

But if you think about it, chances of losing your King would be much greater without your Pawns. 

You see, the pawns are important. 

The King has always been considered the most important piece, but one never sees the importance of the Pawn.

Now, compare those chess pieces to people. 

The Kings, of course, would be those with power. Those who get what they want when they want it. The ones who contol people

Without the balance of rich and poor, people say the economy would crash. Though that might be true, who is to say that the poor are lower than the rich?

Who is to say the Pawns are lower than the Kings?

It might not sound like it, but this is a love story. It's a South African story, because ot is always good to write about what you know. 

This story is based off true events and if any of it offends you, I apologise. 

I wont tell you what its about just yet. That's for you to find out once you start reading. I will tell you though, that this is a story about race, power and learning to accept eachothers differences. 

Why not give it a chance?
