    Hello there! I am Patrick, a storyteller from the heart of Kenya. I love spinning tales, and my inspiration comes from the everyday rhythms of life, the joy of storytelling, the satisfaction of working with wood, and the captivating worlds found in a good book. When I'm not lost in fiction, you can catch me creating with wood. Woodworking, to me, is a patient art, a dance with craftsmanship that's a bit like creating a finely crafted sentence. Beyond the tangible stuff, I like to let my imagination run wild in articles and essays. The written word is like an old friend, guiding me through exploring everything from deep topics to the simple joys of life. Right now, my focus is on finishing up a series of books. Each tap of the keyboard brings me closer to revealing the characters and worlds that have taken root in my imagination. I'm excited to share this journey with you, dear reader. Cheers, Patrick

      For Sam & Ann

      Cheruiot: What do you reckon they’ll do to us, Kim...?

      Kim had been standing at the mouth of the cave for no less than half an hour, watching and doing his best to ignore the chilling cold. The three were utterly exhausted, but that was the least of their worries.

      Cheruiot: What do you reckon...?

      Kim: Nothing pleasant, but I’m not planning on getting caught... Koth, get the fire started... I think we’re good for now. Koth, Koth!

      Cheruiot: Let him be; the kid is petrified.

      Kim: Koth!

      He picked a pebble and struck the 16-year-old’s boot, but the kid did
