The next two days passed in a flash.
NEPA had brought light for the first time in over a month, causing the entire street to chorus "Up NEPA!" in loud screams, but even with electricity back, Jesse and the other kids all decided to sit outside today, away from the distractions of technology, and under the beauty of the evening sky.
Jesse was seated under the moonlight, as he played ludo together with Taiwo and Nkechi. The game was very straightforward and simple.
It was a classic board game for two to four players, where each player would possess four tokens at the start of the game. The goal of the game was to complete a full lap around the board to reach the home zone. The first player to do that would end up winning the game.
Well... that's how it was meant to go. But instead, most people who played the game preferred to capture their opponent's tokens by landing on the same square, sending their opponent's token back to their starting base.
