In Repossession, Fehmida Zakeer weaves a gripping tale of nature’s fury and human vulnerability. Set on a tiny slice of land surrounded by a restless sea, the story follows an old Swami whose peaceful meditation is shattered by an unexpected miracle: the sea has receded, revealing a treasure trove of marine life on the exposed seabed. The villagers, filled with joy, rush to gather the bounty, ignoring the Swami’s desperate warnings to stay away. As dawn breaks, a colossal wave, vengeful and unstoppable, surges towards the shore, reclaiming its possessions and threatening all in its path. Repossession is a powerful and haunting narrative about the consequences of disregarding nature’s warnings and the thin line between fortune and catastrophe.
