You dig to the bottom of the freezer and uncover a bag of morogo, the wild spinach you harvested last rainy season. It's a bit frostbitten, but you can already imagine it simmering with onion and tomato. In the summer heat, that taste of the past is a small treasure.
The small shop sign reads 'General Dealer' in faded letters, but the owner just repainted the door. You stop for a cold drink and a chat. In the heat, a fresh coat of paint is a promise of better days.
