Daughter of Scorn, Part I

Zuri drank greedily. The village began to feel smaller for her each day. She grew tired of their mud houses and of old men whose breath carried rot and authority. She felt the dresses sewn for her did not bring out her bunda the way a girl would want. Worst of all, she dreaded the certainty of her future.

Leaving

She’s accused you of being unserious, of offering no scent of a future, of gambling and drinking away every weekend instead of finding a job, or even looking for one. And each time she left for her sister’s, she came back when your inborn Luo charm convinced her that tomorrow would be different. But tomorrow never arrived.
