Why me?

Chapter 3: Questions Without Answers

Plagued by his newfound “chosen one” status, Pampula sought wisdom from the only person who could offer it: DJ Grandmaster Silence, a reclusive legend who once played a set so profound it made an entire crowd weep in unison. “Why me?” Pampula asked, sitting cross-legged on the floor of Silence’s bamboo hut. Grandmaster Silence looked at him, his face inscrutable beneath his oversized headphones. After a moment, he spoke. “Why not you?” It wasn’t the answer Pampula wanted, but it was the only one he got. Silence promptly fell back asleep.
