“Yes they will!” I said。 “None of the children in that city have a mother or a

father。  Hayriye;  go  downstairs  and  check  the  doors  again。  We’ll  probably  be

asleep by the middle of the story。”

“I won’t fall asleep;” said Orhan。

“Where is Black going to sleep tonight?” said Shevket。

“In  the  workshop;”  I  said。  “Snuggle  up  tight  to  your  mother  so  we  can

warm up nicely under the quilt。 Whose icy little feet are these?”

“Mine;” said Shevket。 “Where will Hayriye sleep?”

I’d  begun  telling  the  story;  and  as  always;  Orhan  fell  asleep  first;  after

which I lowered my voice。

“After I fall asleep; you’re not going to leave the bed; right; Mama?” said

Shevket。

“No; I won’t leave。”

I really didn’t intend to leave。 After Shevket fell asleep; I was musing about

how pleasurable it was to fall asleep cuddled up with my sons on the night of

my second wedding—with my handsome; intelligent and desirous husband in

the next room。 I’d dozed off with such thoughts; but my sleep was fitful。 Later;

this is what I remembered about that strange restless realm between dreaming

and  wakefulness:  First  I  settled  accounts  with  my  deceased  father’s  angry

spirit; then I fled the specter of that disgraceful murderer who wanted to send

me off to be with my father。 As he pursued me; the unyielding murderer; even

more terrifying than my father’s spirit; began making a clattering ruckus。 In

my dream; he tossed stones at our house。 They struck the windows and landed

on  the  roof。  Later;  he  tossed  a  rock  at  the  door;  at  one  point  even  trying  to

force  it  open。  Next;  when  this  evil  spirit  began  to  wail  like  some  ungodly

animal; my heart began to pound。

I awoke covered in sweat。 Had I heard those sounds in my dream or had I

been  awakened  by  sounds  from  somewhere  in  the  house?  I  couldn’t  decide;

and so snuggled up with the children; and without moving; I waited。 I’d nearly

assured myself that the noises were only in my sleep when I heard the same

wail。 Just then; something large landed in the courtyard with a bang。 Was this

also a rock; perhaps?
