GAZELLE — Meja Mwangi

Hope is reborn in spring in Ohio. That is what she says to make him stay and be hers for always. He drops his plans to flee a life of despair, find a warmer place, reinvent himself and start afresh. He suspends his dream and stays to see what spring will bring. His rebirth begins with a dead-of-night visit from friends of friends of his friend, and they are not good people. But they teach him a hard lesson -In Ohio, nobody goes from being nobody to being somebody in one spring.
