Charitable Legacy

CJ, 2019, 100 words.


It took far longer than she had expected – twelve years in fact – but she had finally done it. With the Hollis Foundation's money, some behind the scenes influence from powerful allies and friends, and her own moral authority and determination, it had finally been built.

A Trans-Africa Highway. Two of them, in fact – Cape Town to Cairo, and Djibouti to Dakar.

The network of feeder roads now let goods and services get to, and from, all parts of the continent.

Naturally, they let CJ drive the first ceremonial trip on the highway, with Danny and their daughter. It was exhilirating.
