The Light Left On

by Steven

A house should never be dark while someone is still on the road.

Eli Kasozi grew up in a Kampala house where God was like the electricity: you did not discuss it, you only noticed when it went off.

After his father's death he stops praying, drifts into betting and a money scheme that promises everything, and loses the person he can least afford to lose.

A modern retelling of the prodigal son, about grace, and about the porch light someone kept burning all along.

Themes of grief, gambling and loss.
