Title: "Blossoms in the Dark"

Zainab is counting the few naira notes she had, and her hands were visibly shaking. Everything on her store shelves all felt far away, as if to give her a constant reminder of how much she had lost.

Outside, the sun was still shining outside. Amira, her daughter ran to her holding an Hibiscus flower, laughing barefoot in the dirt. "For you my Mama," she smiled. Even with tears clouding her eyes, Zainab grinned.

Love endured despite the hardships of life, and like Habiscus, love was sufficient to inspire hope even in this darkest of circumstances.
