An institution taught children the importance of water and of conservation while another encouraged students to put on their thinking caps and take part in debates. Faryal Rumi reports
MY TAKE
My Nightmare
I once had a nightmare. She had blonde locks swirling
behind, which could whiz
anyone off their minds. She lurks in the shadows, waiting for prey. "I don't want to be it," I began to pray.
She had bloody eyeballs, evil and bland, and nefarious talons instead of hands.She hunches on her spine and then leaps, and electrocutes me off.
Every time I wake I have a rotten day, thinking about the apparition, and now where she lay. And always in my bed I tremble from right to left and left to right,wanting anything to come, but the night.
And then I realized she feeds on my fear, melancholy,
dreads, and shed every tear.
Of course, I was no longer in danger, but to add to the fun, I invited a few Power Rangers!
They kicked and punched her in the shin, and
transmogrified her into a box of useless tin.
If the terror is mine, the
powers’ mine too, about which we children have no clue, for when we rise, the rogues die, concluding the nightmare which used to make me cry.
