who’ll be blamed。

How might I convince you that I don’t take all of this to heart? Naturally;

by standing firmly on my own two feet despite centuries of merciless stonings;

curses; damnings and denouncements。 If only my angry and shallow enemies;

who never tire of condemning me; would remember that it was the Almighty

Himself  who  granted  me  life  until  Judgment  Day;  while  allotting  them  no

more  than  sixty  or  seventy  years。  If  I  were  to  advise  them  that  they  could

extend this period by drinking coffee; I knoe; because it

was Satan speaking; would do the exact opposite and refuse coffee entirely; or

worse yet; stand on their heads and try pouring it into their asses。

Don’t laugh。 It’s not the content; but the form of thought that counts。 It’s

not what a miniaturist paints; but his style。 Yet these things should be subtle。 I

I crossed the wide hallway and silently opened Black’s door。 In the light cast

by my candle; I couldn’t see him; only the edge of his white mattress which lay

like  a  shrouded  body  in  the  middle  of  the  dark;  cold  room。  The  candlelight

seemed unable to reach the mattress。

When I brought my hand even closer; the reddish…orange light of the candle

struck Black’s weary; unshaven face and naked shoulders。 I drew near to him。

Just as Orhan did; he slept curled up like a pill bug; and he wore the expression

of a sleeping maiden。

“This  is  my  husband;”  I  said  to  myself。  He  seemed  so  distant;  so  much  a

stranger; that I was filled with sorrow。 If I’d had a dagger with me; I would’ve

murdered  him—no;  I  didn’t  actually  want  to  do  such  a  thing;  I  was  only

wondering;  the  way  children  do;  how  it’d  be  if  I  killed  him。  I  didn’t  believe
