She shrieked。 The knife and onion she was holding fell from her hands and

hit the cutting board with such force that the fish she was preparing flopped。

She  shrieked  again。  We  both  noticed  that  the  blood  on  her  left  hand  had

e;  not  from  the  fish;  but  from  her  index  finger;  which  she’d  sliced

accidentally。 I ran upstairs; and as I was searching for a piece of muslin in the

room opposite the one the children were in; I heard their noises and shouts。

Holding the piece of cloth I’d torn off; I entered the room to find that Shevket

had climbed onto his younger brother; pinning Orhan’s shoulders down with

his knees。 He was choking him。

“What are you two doing!” I shouted at the top of my lungs。

“Orhan was leaving the room;” Shevket said。

“Liar;” said Orhan。 “Shevket opened the door and I told him not to leave。”

He began to cry。

“If you don’t sit up here quietly; I’ll kill both of you。”

“Mama; don’t go;” Orhan said。

She gazed at me suspiciously。 But when she realized I couldn’t bear another

look at him; she was overe by curiosity。 She grabbed the lamp and left。 She

took four or five steps beyond the entrance of the kitchen; where I stood; and

with respect and apprehension; she slowly pushed open the door of the room;

and by the light of the lamp she was holding; looked inside。 Unable at first to

see my father; she raised the lamp even higher; trying to illuminate the corners

of the large rectangular room。

“Aaah!” she screamed。 She’d caught sight of my father where I’d left him

just beside the door。 Frozen; she gazed at him。 The shadow she cast along the

floor and stable wall was motionless。 As she looked; I imagined what she was

seeing。  When  she  returned;  she  wasn’t  crying。  I  was  relieved  to  see  that  she

still had her wits about her; enough to be able to register pletely what I
