Beyond Sleep

“I am here! Don’t worry! We have great doctors and excellent equipments. We have needed undaunted courage. We fight with death. Come! I will save you. You will have secured life.”

Lena has been assaulted and she is hit hard. Now she is fighting for life. Destiny is cruel for me, Lena thought. Lena is voracious and unquenchable reader of news around the world.

A flash of news reports in her memory is more disturbing. It is more hurting than her health.

Where is the place of 'no death’? It is everywhere!

One woman was executed in Hama province. It's an area controlled by Islamic State. Her hands and feet are tied with a rope. She is forced to kneel in a pit. She is covered head to toe. She begins to pray out loud as large rocks are seen striking her body.
