Green Shadows in the Kiya-kiya Republic

A Long Short Story

Farai Mudzingwa

 

Synopsis

Jimalo is a young man in a dystopian and mythical post-coup Zimbabwe with negotiable morals and simple needs. He leaves the city of Harare with his money snake to conduct urgent business with an ancient river god in Kariva. All around them, green shadows loom and threaten their mission. All the duo wants is to kiya kiya and enjoy nice things like the winners in the Republic. To kiya kiya though, as Brother David reminds Jimalo, is to summon the consequences of encounters with ghosts, gods, girly girls and grim guardians who move in mysterious ways.
