Episode/Chapter 1: The Eviction

Some would call Bweyogerere a Kampala suburb but this house, the one in which we start this story, would object to that. It is an old house. Quite old. It was built when Bweyogerere was outskirts, not suburbs.

The residents, Mabel and Papso, moved in twenty four years ago as newlyweds. When Papso would leave to go to work, Mabel, who was on her maternity leave at the time, would say things like, “You’re going to Kampala? When you come back bring me some of that new-fashioned food, I heard that they started selling there. Peters, or Peacers.”
