Paperback. Condition: New. During embalming an arm jerks and strikes a mortician, leaving him unmoored. A pastor's wife encounters a young congregant in her kitchen wearing her apron and preparing breakfast. A man's attempt to make sense of why a tornado picked him up leads to a showdown with a cult leader. A daydreaming, gawky…kid is appointed guardian of a watermelon that the ocean could snatch away. Love comes slowly, like water heating over a low fire or extra sugar being stirred into tea. In another story, the love of a father cannot save his musician son. A young woman living in a recognisable future contemplates the end of memory as her body transforms into the silver promise of a carapace. Another young woman feels she should be smiling but nothing stirs in her when her father wakes from death after 15 minutes. Battling portentous pre-dawn heat and still air, a bystander abandons removing caterpillars from a Ficus because the idea of touching them makes her squeamish. Elsewhere in the suburbs, in a fixer-upper from hell, crickets screech and squeal, their ringing like that of a demented alarm clock.When Water Wants To presents the winners of the DALRO Can Themba Short Story Award.
