Extract from Thandi H. Dlamini's diary, year 2058:

"I never thought this day would ever come. The day when every male on the planet ceased to exist. It's absolutely mind-boggling. The words convey meaning, yet lack true coherence. While all the women celebrated this accomplishment, I harbored a deep resentment. A resentment so intense that it drove me to betray those I once trusted wholeheartedly. I am left with no one to rely on, not even my own mother. I feel lost in this realm of sorcery. Will I ultimately perish in solitude within this dystopian society?"

"Thando," Anthony called, shaking me by the shoulders, "Thando!" 


I was brought back to reality after Anthony called my name for the 6th time already. Somehow, I drifted into my thoughts after he told me everything that happened to my dad. I played every scene in my head, like watching a horror movie. The only difference was that I was the actor in that movie. Ten years ago, I had the chance to save my dad. I had the choice to listen to him and do as I was told me. But instead, I decided to create my own script. I decided to watch him die and let my mother win. And now, because of me, that movie had no happy ending. It just had a sequel of more bad events happening after one another. And as I stood in front of that building with Miss Whitney White and Anthony, I wasn't so sure whether this was going to be part of the next horror movie of my life. 


"Thando, are you okay? Say something." Anthony said, shaking me some more
