Read the unseen prose excerpt below carefully:
"The old tin roof of the community dispensary in Ohafia rattled under the relentless mid-day heat. Inside, Nurse Amara carefully recorded the day’s meager supply of bandages and antibiotics in her ledger, her fingers trace-lining each entry with meticulous care. Outside, the young village youths lounged under the neem tree, their transistor radios blaring modern Afrobeats while discussing grand ambitions of leaving for Lagos or foreign lands. Amara looked at the fading poster on the wall—a relic from the town’s first community-built clinic fifty years ago. She sighed softly, realizing that while the aspirations of the young had shifted outward, the quiet, persistent duty of holding the community together remained anchored in the selfless patience of those who chose to stay."
