Ramal (Chapter 1, The sleep centre chronicles)

She was one of those radiant, strong women. She talked of strength, she oozed empowerment, she did jujitsu and she wouldn't take no shit from no one.

"They think you're fragile...But I will take them out!"

She resigned from her job as it didn't fit in with her '5 year plan'. Ramal had a 5 year plan and was sticking to it, I could feel the power...the resolve.

In a sterile medical research centre lounge, clouded by sedatives, I could have gone a hug from Ramal...A hug from a strong South African women with a brown belt in Jujitsu. That would've been real nice.
