The Mother River by Austin Mitchell (Excerpt)

The Mother River by Austin Mitchell              Once, hundreds of years ago, there was a great river. It was called the Mother river. Some said that it was in the north of the island, others said that it was in the middle of the island, but others disagreed, saying that it was in the west.

The room was dark and his hands and feet were bound. As he lay in the darkness he recollected what had happened earlier in the day. He had been driving his taxi on Molynes Road in Kingston, after dropping off a female passenger in Queensberry when two men waved him down. The men wanted to go the Papine. His first instinct had been to drive on but he remembered that he hadn’t made Bydie’s money yet and this was Friday and the man would want his money first thing tomorrow morning. One man came to sit beside him while the other sat in the back. They were on Molynes Road when he found a knife sticking him in his side. “Hey guy, we are going to show you which road to turn in. My brethren has his gun with him so don’t bother try anything.” “It’s not my taxi this, brethren. It’s a man I am running i...
