The township is divided into overpopulated sections with defined and guarded boundaries that are not geographical.
The inhabitants, driven by a deep sense of insecurity, are suspicious of each other’s intent and fiercely guard their women and children from anticipated abductions.
Despite the challenges, leaders tirelessly promote unity in diversity on international platforms. They showcase the coexistence of several communities, bridging language barriers and diverse religious beliefs.
The lawkeepers at the volcano spend tense days and nights, their dedication unwavering as they strive to prevent uncontrolled eruptions.
The lawmakers have yet to understand that suppressed fission energy is not fusion.
Or maybe they don’t want to understand what goes against their territorial interests, which often prioritise maintaining power structures over addressing social issues.

Once again, progress kept dangerously checked for short-term gain. What a recipe for disaster…and we know how bad that tastes!

‘I see, but I don’t see’ very apt title.

There is often a central idea that spawns a story. The title comes from a remark we used to make in jest, when somebody applied for sick leave due to conjunctivitis.
