Ayyayo, bacterial meningitis can turn critical within hours, like a monsoon downpour over a dry field, and they say the spinal fluid will appear cloudy with many white cells. But I know our bodies don't always read the textbook, especially with this sugar-ridden blood of mine masking every fever. Last year, a neighbour's boy had only a stiff neck and a whisper of a headache, yet his spinal tap told a furious story—it taught me that with age and diabetes, the storm can arrive in silence. So now, I watch my Amma’s hum and the lane’s flickering lights with equal dread, knowing some dangers don’t announce their speed with noise.
