An African speculative bedtime story set in a hidden realm beneath Mount Kenya, where weather is a governed resource and a young apprentice must decide whether to challenge decades of institutional silence. This Grade 7 narrative explores moral courage, honest governance, and the power of one person willing to ask the question no one else will. A calm, resolved ending brings your twelve-year-old home to sleep.
When the Rains Were Counted
Beneath Mount Kenya, the weather isn't nature. It's politics. And one apprentice just found the rulebook.
