While I can report the events of the apartheid era and describe Nelson Mandela’s role in the journey to reconciliation, the history textbooks I’ve read are purely factual, lacking emotion and true human sentiment.

Arctic Ascendance The walls begin to close in on me. The ocean floor collapses around my feet and pulls me under. The water splashes above my neck like waves crashing into the side of a ship. The space around me is filled with the ice-cold seawater. The bathing suit that I wear constricts around my waist. I feel the air escape out of my lungs and bubbles reach for the surface. I feel my lungs begin to collapse, my heart begins to swell, and my limbs begin to throb. I sink further into the sand,…
