I  was  paralyzed  with  terror。  But  the  situation  immediately  got  worse:  I

heard noises from within the house。 Where was Hayriye? In which room had

Black  fallen  asleep?  In  what  state  was  my  father’s  pitiful  corpse?  My  God;  I

prayed; protect us。 The children were deep asleep。

Had  this  happened  before  I  was  married;  I’d  have  risen  from  bed;  and

taking charge of the situation like the man of the house; I’d have suppressed

my  fears  and  scared  away  the  jinns  and  spirits。  In  my  present  condition;

however; I cowered and hugged the children。 It was as if there were no one else

in the world。 Nobody was going to e to the aid of the children and me。

Expecting something awful to happen; I prayed to Allah for deliverance。 As in

my dreams; I was alone。 I heard the courtyard gate open。 It was the courtyard

gate; wasn’t it? Yes; absolutely。

I  rose  abruptly;  grabbed  my  robe  and  quitted  the  room  without  even

knowing myself what I was doing。

“Black!” I hissed from the top of the stairs。

After hastily donning shoes; I descended the stairs。 The candle I’d lit at the

brazier blew out as soon as I stepped out onto the courtyard’s stone walkway。

A  strong  wind  had  begun  to  blow;  though  the  sky  was  clear。  As  soon  as  my

eyes  adjusted;  I  saw  that  the  half…moon  was  flooding  the  courtyard  with

moonlight。  My  dearest  Allah!  The  courtyard  gate  was  open。  I  stood  stunned;

atremble in the cold。

Why hadn’t I brought a knife with me? Neither did I have a candlestick or

even a piece of wood。 For a moment; in the blackness; I saw the gate move of

its  own  accord。  Later;  after  it  appeared  to  have  stilled;  I  heard  it  squeal。  I

remember thinking; This seems like a dream。

When  I  heard  a  noise  from  within  the  house;  as  if  from  just  beneath  the

roof;  I  understood  that  my  father’s  soul  was  struggling  to  leave  his  body。

Knowing  my  father’s  soul  was  in  such  torment  both  put  me  at  ease  and

plunged me into agony。 If Father is the cause of these noises; I thought; then

no  evil  will  befall  me。  On  the  other  hand;  his  tormented  soul;  frantically

fluttering about; trying to escape and ascend; so troubled me that I prayed to

Allah to fort him。 But when it occurred to me that his soul would protect

me  and  the  children;  a  feeling  of  great  relief  washed  over  me。  If  there  were
