The Thief and the Dogs

Once again, Saeed Mahran breathes the air of freedom, but the air is fragrant and unbearably hot. Waiting for him are his blue suit and rubber boots, but no one else. The world is returning, and the deafening prison door is receding, concealing desperate secrets. These sun-drenched roads, these crazy cars, the passersby and the occupants, the houses and shops, and not a single lip that breaks a smile…
