    I died again last night. It wasn’t like the others.  This time, I didn’t wake up. It comes back to you in bits and pieces. In scenes that are blurry at the edges, and in sensations that feel all too real. You think you remember running, the cold night air rushing past your cheeks. You think you remember a figure that was tall and spindly, that had limbs that ended in points.    I was alone in my room, tangled in my blankets and eyes still bleary from sleep. The curtains (if you could call them that— really they were just blankets fastened to an old curtain rod with electrical tape) hung parti...bDKone door

    Long ago in the days of our grandparents, in a small town in Bosnia, lived Ana. Many of you are probably wondering where this place is and what’s it like. Now let me see, Bosnia is so big that it would be impossible to describe it all in this story, but I can tell you about Ana’s town. Close your eyes and try to imagine about one hundred houses surrounded by a dark, damp and scented forest. Nearby there is a river. The little girl’s home was about forty steps from a mosque: she had counted them last Sunday as she played hide-and-seek with her cousin Mitja. The house was small and cosy. The str...bDKone door
