Late One Night

By Fatma Kallon

Late one night, among the stars, lingered yet another black soul as a sacrifice of a forbidden courtship deemed unlawful and ungodly by a society of the 1960s that segregated its liaisons into streaks of black and white. Wayne Demi was robbed of his young life on his fifteenth birthday by a hit-and-run accident, only it was not an accident. His death was society's cruel way of negating the existence of miscegenation. But his soul did not discriminate; it haunted those who were the victims and those who were the oppressors, the blacks and whites, the men and women. No one was free of the thick grey clouds of slavery and racism. Among the fraudulence and contradictions, everyone suffered, the slaves and their masters, the dehumanized blacks and the white supremacists. In this historically fictional thriller, a mystery murder and an interracial love affair connect like the inner workings of a clock. Each character, like every mechanical piece, completes the outcome of the puzzle of such a corrupt society. Will more lives be lost? More souls sacrificed?
