After that encounter…
…was left with a stained body, a stained memory…
All help was so near and yet so far Her eyes screamed out…
Her tongue clung to the floor of her widely open mouth…
A priest, solider, businesswoman, boda boda cyclist and housemaid take turns sitting on a white paper stool. As each person sits on the stool at intervals, it slowly bleeds staining the archive/body and gradually turning the paper stool red…a commentary on scenes of the growing indifference towards community policing in Kampala’s urban settlements
