    About this ebook

    My grandfather has disappeared: gone, vanished into thin air. Then, after some time, he shows up, somewhere, naked and dazed. And yet something about him is different, I can't explain, he seems out of place and maybe he is not the only one. Please, help me understand because I really don't know what's going on.

      Honey

      May 18, 2020

      It’s dark in here but I don’t mind. I wish I had a cushion, though. The floor is hard and I have pulled my knees close to my chest, arms around them, to try to keep warm. It’s a strange place to hide but I find the familiar scents of my family comfor

      Seeing Clearly

      Jan 30, 2019

      The late afternoon sun is dipping into evening, and the market is painted with hazy light. I’m tired from walking too much in my cute sandals; I don’t know why I always forget that 40 isn’t the new anything. I’m bending over to adjust an ankle strap

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      RECOLLECTION

      Translated by Helima Ismaili Idrissi

      Short story

      Well this is quite a party, everyone is here, it's been a long time since we all gathered, even if it's only to celebrate grandpa's 80th birthday. To my family birthdays count little, I myself tend to forget them even. This time though it is different: two years after he went missing, escaped or whatever happened, finding him just the day before yesterday right there on the boulevard side was an unexpected treat. Naked, cold and staring off, his eyes sunken, holding himself with his arms.

      How did he get there? How did he withstand such a cold snow? I don't know, nobody does, especially because we live nearly three hundred kilometers away from where he has been found. Cops even had a hard time putting a blanket over him; even though thin as a twig he has a terrible strength and his skinniness emphasized the thin and tense nerves of his arms.

He doesn't care
