The Tower That Watched

Episode 1 – The Silent Guardian

For years, the giant steel tower stood on the hill, watching quietly over the village below. To most, it was nothing more than an electric pylon, carrying power from faraway stations to the city beyond the horizon. But to twelve-year-old Amani, the tower was alive. He often climbed halfway up its frame to sit and gaze at the world, whispering his secrets into the humming wires that crackled faintly in the air.

Amani’s mother always scolded him, warning that the tower was dangerous. But he couldn’t resist. He swore he could feel the tower respond when he spoke- vibrations running through the steel like a voice answering back. In a community where life was tough and dreams were rare, Amani found a strange friend in the structure above them all.

The road of forgotten promises.

Episode 2 – The Campaign Years

Politicians always came here when the sun was shining and the dust rose like smoke from the ground. They arrived in long convoys, waving from tinted cars, their smiles brighter than the promises they poured into the crowd.

“This road,” one politician thundered through a loudspeaker, “will be tarmacked within the first hundred days of my office!” The crowd roared. Boda boda riders, wiping sweat and dust from their faces, cheered as if salvation had already come. Women ululated, children chased campaign trucks for free T-shirts, and men nodded, hopeful that maybe, just maybe, this would be the year their suffering ended.

But promises, like rainbows, shone brightly and then disappeared. The elections came, the votes were cast, the winner celebrated- and the road remained the same.

The Road of Forgotten Promises

Episode 1

When the rains came, the wide murram road turned into a red-brown river. Pools of muddy water swallowed potholes so deep that no one knew where the ground ended. Boda boda riders skidded and toppled, splashing helpless passengers, their groceries or school bags sinking into the mire. Children, barefoot, splashed across, laughing through their misery because they had grown used to it.

Every rainy season, life along this road became a gamble, whether your motorcycle would make it across, whether your shoes would survive, or whether the floods would carry away what little you had. The trees stood tall, the walls unshaken, but the road told the story of suffering that never left.
