Storymoja Words Over Weapons and Other Stories

In a simple yet creative way, the writers of the stories in
this collection bring to life various characters with whom
you can identify. They paint with words the challenges the
characters experience in their lives.
Jimo finds himself in a hospital and discovers that he cannot
move his hands. One is in a plaster and the other is
handcuffed to the hospital bed. A police officer is seated a
few metres away. Jimo stares at the ceiling and tries to open
his swollen mouth in vain. He knows there is no way out of
his predicament. An angry crowd is still gathered outside
the hospital, their faces contorted with rage, ready to finish
him.
How Jimo and other characters in this collection handle
their challenges is so realistic that you would think they are
someone you know. The stories aim to help young people
understand how to resolve conflicts peacefully.
