    The newsreader's mouth opens and closes, words tumble out, crashing my world: “Award-winning Motswana writer dies in car accident.”

    Killed? Killed.

    Ntsimane changes the channel. Why did he do that? Does he know? He couldn't. I have told no one.

    What is that noise? Sizzling – coming from the stove. The oxtail stew is burning.
