The Peace Child

The story takes place far from the cold shores of Durness, in the dir-t.im country of Mambica in Africa.

There lived two rival tribes - the Wannakeekee and Sotongi.  They are as different as they could possibly be: the Wannakeekee concentrate on creative endeavours while the Sotongi love to be fit and active.

One day, very unexpectedly, a western TV crew arrive.  They see the tribal lifestyle as a perfect subject for a ground-breaking documentary.  However, when they hit on the naive idea of building a bridge across the river to unite the two communities, the threat of war becomes a grave reality.  As the bridge building proceeds, tension mounts and fear hangs over both tribes. In the midst of this comes a joyful event - the arrival of the Wannakeekee Chiefs firstborn son. Great celebrations ensue.

The elation cannot last for long, however, as the prospect of war draws even closer. There seems to be no way out, until the Warmakeekee Chief is visited in his dreams by Wisdom, who delivers an unnerving massacre. Will Wisdom have the answer to all their problems?
