The desert below seems never ending. As it grows more with everyday. The Atlantic washes up against it beaches and somehow even the water appears dry. As the hours pass you realize the stop in Dakar is nearing. Slowly the abandoned desert gives way, and small villages begin to dot the landscape. And there it is, Dakar. The city´s skyscrapers are a sharp contrast to the Sahara you´ve just finished passing over. They jut upward out of the rocky shoreline. But its not your stop. The memories are coming back.

All were addicted to the killing. I never asked this man to beg for me.¨. They ask if there´s war where I come from. Ernest ...

You speak in metaphors around the table. They´re short steps in regaining some sort of normality. You take short steps to get back to that place you were 25 years ago. Very short steps. Speaking in metaphors is the only way to make sense of the inconsistencies, the gaps in time that have become your history. You sit around the table recounting stories of the journey north. You talk about the outbreak of the war in Liberia and your capture by NPFL forces. The chronology lost in memory. But its a lie.
