I haven't heard of this before... A flow in the forward direction, then a break, after that, a flow in the backwards direction.. One should not trust this river at all.. Lol.. Imagine trying to elope with your girlfriend, when you think you have covered a distance, the river carries you back to the starting point, were the girl's father is waiting for you with a cutlass in his hand.
You are a great writer @ruth-girl. Thanks for writing this.
Oh! Oh my! This sounds like a lover's nightmare!!
