Help Me Carry This To My Head: A Deeply Moving Story That Stays With You

In the heart of a bustling market, where traders shout and feet shuffle in haste, a lone voice rises above the chaos.

"Help Me Carry This To My Head! Help Me Carry This To My Head!"

Foolish sits on the ground, knees pointed skyward, right hand raised in desperation. In front of him, a massive excavator bucket, filled to the brim with sand, towers toward the heavens. The weight of it is impossible, yet he refuses to lift even a handful.

Lyard, a passerby, stops and stares. With one hand on her hip, she asks, "Carry what, Foolish?"

"The sand, the excavator, the caterpillar… Help me carry it to my head!"

Lyard sighs, shaking her head. "And how do you plan to do that? Have you even tried to lift some with your hands?"

Foolish grins. "A handful? No! I want it all at once!"

Passersby chuckle, shaking their heads. Some pause, amused by the absurdity. Others move on, indifferent to his cries.

But Foolish remains, shouting, waiting… convinced that help will come.

A gripping tale of misplaced effort, blind determination, and the irony of self-help.

What happens when help finally arrives—only for Foolish to realize it's too late?

Will he rise, or will he remain trapped by his own stubbornness?

Find out in Help Me Carry This To My Head, a powerful new work by Kalebe Kossi Numedo.
