Sele ndiphumle kwinkuthalo iziqwengana izihlandlo ezininzi, ndityelelwe, njengamaziko okuzonwabisa, kwaye ndisiya nje elwandle nabahlobo. Bendihlala ngelo xesha, ndandingakude nedolophu yaseOdessa, kodwa andizithandi nyani iilwandle, kuba kuhlala kukho abantu abaninzi apho, kwaye ndiyayithanda iholide ethe cwaka kwaye ndiyithanda.
Kanye, mna nabahlobo bam kwaye ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiye kwenye indawo njengonxweme lolwandle kunye neentente kwaye ndihlala apho ndihlala ndingenabusuku bonke, sasinabantu abane. Ngesizathu esithile, ngelo xesha sonke sagqiba kwelokuba siya kungena kwigumbi lokuphumla.
Kude sakhangela elunxwemeni, esinokuqhutywa yimoto kwaye siye sazinza ngobusuku ngeentente, kodwa siyifumene. Yonke imihla, ihlathi engenatyala yezitshixo zizaliswe ziinkcukacha ezahlukeneyo kwaye mhlawumbi kwisandla esinye, kulungile, kodwa ndingathanda ukuba yinxalenye yendawo entle neyoxolo yokuhlala ichukunyisiwe.
Indawo leyo yayintle kakhulu, kwakungekho bantu baninzi. Ngokuhlwa saphula umlilo kwaye sabenza ke iKebbs. Usuku olunanditshwa ilanga kwaye uzame ukwenza inkampu. Sasinentente enye, siphindwe kabini, ngoko salala kuyo nomyeni wam, kwaye abahlobo bethu bachitha emotweni. Ndisakhumbula ukuba i-odolo elimnandi, i-tucci yaqala ukhula, umoya ovuthuzayo wawumangalisa, imeko yayifezekile!
Kwakukho uAgasti, ke amanzi elwandle afudumele, ngaphandle koko bahlambulukileyo, kwakungekho nto i-algae elunxwemeni. Ebusuku, igumbi eliqinileyo laqala, kwabakho intente encinci kwaye intente yethu yayingekuko amanzi, kunjalo ebusuku simanzi kancinci, kodwa asizange sikonakalise iholide yethu. Ekuseni sidibene ne-oda entle ngokulinganayo, imitha yelanga yayibonakaliswa kakuhle kakhulu kumanzi acacileyo ekristali. Ndikhumbula ukuba ingakanani into ethandana nayo ukuhamba elunxwemeni lwedowel eneqabane elithandekayo xa kungekho mphefumlo ujikeleze. Emva kwendudumo elunxwemeni, uninzi lwama crabs omninzi, owazama ukuzifihla ezindlwini kuphela ezenziweyo. Kwinkuthalo ndisathanda inyani yokuba iilwandle zicocekile, inkunkuma ayizange yanele, kwakumnandi ukuhamba entlabathini kwaye ingafumani iipakethi ezivela kwiitshipsi okanye icuba lecuba.
AKUKHO nto iphumla kancinci ngenxa yokothuka ezindlwini, ukhululekile ngakumbi, kodwa kuxhomekeke kumntu othanda ngakumbi.
