Summary
I have just killed myself. I meant it to be quick, but when I came
to stick the poison arrow into the vein in my arm, I couldn't, and
the arrow tip went into the thickest part of my leg instead. Maybe,
inside my head, I wanted a little more time. To think. So I am
sitting here under the thin shade of a thorn tree and thinking
about my life and the things that were me - Be, of the Ju/'hoansi
people. Be's story is one of sadness, but it is also a story of
love, courage and dignity. It is told masterfully by Lesley Beake,
award-winning novelist for young people.
