Morning
Last summer when the days were waning, my young neighbour Poultu, a twelve-year-old, entered through my garden gate, sweating profusely. He stumbled over a loose plank on the garden path.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“The panipuri man has returned. Kids are going missing again.”
“Don’t worry.”
“What? Why not?”
“I’ll make sure to protect you.”
