himaqat

...just after midnight Caron s eyes flwe open in the jail,  she was lying on a small cot, close by was a toilet,  the stench  was  unbearable,  uncovered mattress below her was soaked with her sweat, her head ached and mouth was absolutely dry, a police  woman approached her slowly  to tell her  cheerfully in the morning she could contact her lawyer,  she was in prison for several antinational and other criminal charges,  Caron read the chargesheet quietly and lowered her head,  she felt she was  destined to be there,  it was  a warm October san  Francisco  day, it was the result of forest fires burning around  , this wild fire had proved a disaster killing many residents and pulling down  many shops  leaving  piles of decision and forty dead, she saw tiny shred of things sticking around in the washroom,  her husband was certain dead and she became stressed,  the sky was filled with  ash and smoke, , when she had left her house she couldn't remember if she had locked the door behind her or not
