I went into labor on the exact day predicted by Samsa the great doctor of Iraduku's tribe. I was at first worried that the continual chanting of the women would drive me to distraction and make me cry out (strictly forbidden in the Watusi clan) but I was given a guar gum sedative and do not remember much of what happened after. From what I was told by those present, Mantia was born without incident and quickly brought to the altar and sacrificed before the high priests. I was then fed her flesh in my sleep and carried around the plains on a caravan of banana leaves. I woke up six days later, in a Ford, on the way to the airport. I was left here and have been trying to collect the airfare home by selling my bracelets of placenta and brazil nuts. If any one could spare some change, please wire to the Watusi International Airport. M'pozi.

My therapist.
