Goal: 2000-5000 word story
What I know about Siglap so far:
As mentioned in the introductory chapter, among the explanations for the name ‘Siglap’ is a local legend that attributed it to a Malay chieftain, Tok Lasam, who upon first landing in the area during a particularly dark thunderstorm, called it ‘Si-gelap’, which translated literally from Malay means ‘darkness that conceals’.
