"As
long as one person lives in darkness then it seems to be a responsibility to
tell other people" . It struck three o'clock after midnight, I was leaning
throbbing temples against the broken window. Silence was falling and it was a
hot, windless night. My sight was fading gradually, fever plagued every atom in
my flesh, sweating profusely .
There
was not any electricity to switch the fan on. I have to cope with this
situation because this is The siege and This is Gaza .
Surreptitiously,
a yellowish book fell down from the rack tracing a morbid dragon puffing fire
out. I rubbed my eyes and scrutinized at that creature that vanished abruptly .
I bent with shivering hands to pick the book
" Nothing strange, so calm down, it's hallucination! " with a chuckle, I tried to
console myself blaming the fever .
Then
I walked staggeringly to the bed, threw myself over the white scrubby blankets
" For the sake of God, I want to sleep", but insomnia was the permanent guest of my
whole nights. I decided to prepare a cup of coffee then I quiet. Coffee is not
the suitable choice . After a while, I heard tapping in my hatch door, then quite brave I stood up to see a lined-up raven row over the terrace, they were so
murky and dark . At the same time a shrill yell came from the other side, a
grisly gigantic owl settled on the chair., What a night ?? and What a nightmare…??
I looked scared and pale from a half-opened window but the street was dark and
no one house with a light . Finally, I went downstairs to search for a candle
where I discovered that Gaza
haunted the place asking for light nothing more.
