Silent Night


I am the greatest healer in the world and not doctor can compare. I cure malaria, flu, diabetes, and even aids! I even get you the man that you desire when your alone at night, in your bed. But remember, nothing is for free darlings

The time has come, my first ACTUAL role in an ACTUAL play (apart from the nurse in our school's musical Oliver - which was very, very, bad). After months of little rehearsal, I am going to be on stage tomorrow night performing Ma Ntombi, to the best of my ability! Every inch of my body will go onto overdrive in order to sustain the freaky herbalist- sangoma- voodoo woman's character. The thing is though, is that because of the amount of concentration that goes into my character's physical movements alone, I find it hard to get my words, words down! Like the other day I told one of my potions of 'old people' to 'do your thing' because my mind went blank! But alas, this will not happen again, I wont allow it!
