Gray. Everything gray, thinks the little boy, who is looking up correctly for the first time. There are many people walking around him. Men carrying stones and tools. Women trying to sell vegetables and fruits. Children begging for money by singing or playing plays. But the little boy just stands there and looks around. He realizes that the sky is just gray, as it is every day. From a book his mother read to him before he went to sleep, it is said that the sky used to be purple. He looks up and tries to imagine a purple sky, but he can't. Eventually his eyes wander to the walls that keep people from getting outside. His father admonished him often enough not to climb over the wall. He said that whoever climbed over the wall would never be able to come back.
Exhausted, the little boy runs on looking for her. His auburn eyes, which can be seen under the dark circles under the eyes, search the crowd for her. He wonders where she is. Why did he leave her alone? Doesn't he like her anymore? Is she mad at him? His eyes get wet and his steps faster and faster. Running turns into running and worrying becomes panicking. What if she doesn't come back?
When he hears screeching and whimpering, he stops abruptly. The boy with the brown, somewhat longer hair and much too lean body holds his breath. He hears several noises. Sounds that give him goose bumps all over his body. Crying, screeching, whimpering, moaning, screaming. All the noise bounces off him. He can hear a whip drawn out, several times. Trembling, his feet carry him behind a dried, almost dead tree. He hides behind it like a protective shield. Terrible fear runs through his vein.
He sees so much, so many bad things. A man lies on the floor covered in blood, next to him five more. A woman kneels on her legs in front of one of the dead men. She screams and cries that he shouldn't leave her, while she sways back and forth worriedly. The whip the boy heard was held by a soldier wearing a helmet. He still strikes and strikes. When he sees the soldier beating a slightly older boy, he immediately feels sick. Since he hadn't eaten, the boy just choked air. He is cold and hot at the same time. Just as he looks back at the square, he recognizes a man sitting on a chair on a raised platform. The man is well dressed, wears a crown, and sits leisurely in his chair.
The boy will never forget the man's face. His chin is angular and he has a small beard. The cheekbones stand out especially on his face and his lips are curled up in a thin smile. But the reason the boy can't avert his gaze is because of the man's eyes. Dark, almost black, his eyes look down on the spectacle before him. He looks dangerous, terrifying, and his delight in the spectacle makes him look a little crazy.
So far, he doesn't understand why the little boy suddenly gets so angry. His hands clench into fists, he forgets the terrible lamentations and just looks at this man. He wants to jump on him, strangle him. But he knows that he has no chance. Suddenly, as if the man on the throne had sensed the boy's gaze, he looked him straight in the eye. Several seconds pass before the boy realizes that he is really looking at him, but neither of them moves. When the man's smile widens a bit, the boy turns and walks back as if nothing had happened.
At that very moment, the boy decides that he would find out who this man is. He swears he would get back at this cruel man for tormenting the poor men and the boy when he got older. Only after a few years does the boy, whose name is Mehmet, find out that the man is the king of the country.
Exactly two hundred years ago this world looked different. People were grateful to nature, but were still threatened with extinction. There were more fables and animals in the world than humans. I still remember exactly how dangerous it was to live as a person in those times. Very rarely, and if so, then with great effort and good luck, a person lived until he discovered a white hair on his head. I just grew up when the person in me died.I had a family, six siblings, three of whom died in childbirth. I was the eldest son in the family, so I was responsible for my younger siblings. We lived in a small village, fearful of a fable attack every day. Of course we knew how to protect ourselves, but we were weaker than these magical beings. They're big, way too strong, and scary, or at least they used to be to me.The village had around two hundred people, large families and a few animals for slaughter. Everyone knew everyone and we all helped each other out. From time
My eyes get wet and the temptation to just walk in that door to hug her is very great. But I pull myself together because they are right. If it's true, and it's not just some stupid dream of mine, then I might really die. So I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and turn away from them. I stand in front of the locked door and look at the handle. For the last time I turn to my parents and memorize the picture exactly."I'll see you," I say resolutely.I try to smile strongly, turn the handle and go blind by the bright, white light. Shortly after that, I lose consciousness.It seems to me that I am asleep. As if my body was sleeping, but my mind was wide awake. I can't open my eyes, but my other senses work great. Immediately I know that I am outdoors, as the air smells very fresh and sweet. Since the rustling of leaves can be heard, I can imagine I am in a forest or something like that. I can feel fresh, wet grass under my fingers. The earth still fe
My feet carry me somewhere. But where? Everything around me is black. My eyes seem to be blind, there is no difference if I keep my eyes closed or if they are open. The darkness is bothering me. I don't like it when I don't know where I'm going. I try hard to recognize something, but it is in vain. I don't see, hear or smell anything. Am I dead? Is that the path that leads me to death?Since I jumped into the picture, I've been walking around in this darkness. Running seems like an eternity to me. The fear of having to keep walking without ever reaching a destination grows. But what else can I do? Stop? No, so I keep walking, hoping that nothing will jump on me from the side because I don't know where exactly I am.But when I suddenly see a small light in the distance, my feet start to run faster. Running evolves into jogging and jogging into running. The light gets bigger and bigger, and when I suddenly see two peopl
I put the painting on the floor so that I can watch it from above. It's hard to take your eyes off it, they stick to the picture, so to speak. But not only that doesn't make me look away, the picture surrounds a dangerous and at the same time an exciting atmosphere. It feels like a story is hiding behind the picture. Without thinking long, my fingers touch the red grass. I drive back in shock when I get a small electric shock. Confused, I touch it again, this time knowing not to flinch.I can easily feel how a pressure is released and my fingers slide into the picture. Completely perplexed, I find that my entire arm is gone. Am I dreaming? Have i lost my mind In fear I pull my arm out again and place it on my chest. I look at the mysterious picture full of questions.That can not be! This is not possible! I probably just fooled myself. But no damn it, my whole arm was in it. What should I do? Tell my uncle about it? He would mark me as crazy again. Damn! I get up with
As I predicted, my uncle hides in his and I in my room. We lick our wounds and try to calm down. I don't know what he's doing. He may be lying in bed watching TV or sleeping. Personally, I've been standing in front of the broken wall mirror in the bathroom since we arrived.I didn't take off my white dress or my shoes. I just stand there and look at my swollen cheeks and my gray-green eyes. It's quiet and I've made up my mind to finally digest the death of my parents. To digest properly. I'm tired of thinking about what life would be with them every day. I have to accept what is. I have to accept the truth that you can never come back. I'm slowly starting to worry about myself. I have to focus on myself and I have to get my life under control again.But today I still allowed myself to mourn, only today on the day of her death. From tomorrow on I finally have to pull myself together and change something about myself. I need to get confident and strong again. I know it c
The egg cannot be found, only by its chosen warrior,” he explains."So that's it. And you? Don't you have anything better to do? For example, reading your magic books and memorizing a few sayings instead of coming to me, even though you could have just written a letter? ”I ask.There must be a reason Garun is here. He's just as careful as I avoid him. So what else is there that he's hiding?"The egg will soon open ashram," he says seriously.“Only when there is war,” I say and want to get up because I can no longer control myself to be in the same room as him."Can't you see that?" He asks, getting louder and more excited.“It started a long time ago. King Lennard has so many evil forces at his side, he will stand against us and there will be a lot of blood, ”Garun says with a nervous expression."And if we do, we're stronger," I say confidently and turn around."Is that us?" He asks and his
