These policemen are ruthless o… What offence could our holiness preacher have committed? What? My gentle mother, always prayerful and cool even as she is being smashed by my father- her right hand wasn’t there again- that was when my heart shifted from the bony cage around it and fell down to the floor (Bouncing as it did!) I screamed with great pain as I fell to the floor Phe...
