'Forgotten' - Deema Qaffaf
Alone, she stood in the town square, shivering with fear. All the people she had known in her life gathered around her like wild beasts. Only her father and brothers faded away with shame like Autumn leaves on a windy day :no one can defend a girl accused of what she had been accused of.
Doubts had been enough to condemn her! Within the blink of an eye, her life was taken away by her cousin’s sharp knife, he thought to himself, “It was very easy. A few words spread through town, like fire they burned her, after all; I deserve to take my revenge with pride.”
Until this day, nobody asks why she was killed. She is forgotten, as If she had never existed.
