BOOOM

"“BOOOOOM” was the first thing that woke me up this morning. Another BOOOM followed to make me feel that I wasn’t having a nightmare. It was not meant to kill or hurt; it was meant to remind me of the daily horror we should embrace everyday. I felt the BOOM telling me, “Wake up! Did you forget me? Sleeping will never let you forget me. I am always there.”

I barely opened my eyes. I was very tired. I couldn’t sleep well the whole night which is something very normal in Iraq. It was hot and impossible to endure."
