Sokotra

Why does she feel now as if she is an old woman despite being twenty-one years old! A sound of approaching footsteps reached her ears, she straightened her sitting and her heartbeat intensified as she wandered toward the door, and every time those footsteps approached her room's door, her heartbeats accelerated even more, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling swung wildly, the lights trembled as if they would go out, then they intensified and flooded the place again as if an invisible hand was playing with them, someone knocked on the door three times forcefully, then waited a little and knocked again with great determination. When she did not respond, she hoped that this visitor would leave, for she feared her tongue would loosen and she would reveal everything. The door opened slowly with a frightening screech, and her guest entered, approaching with eyes shining with passion and curiosity. He sat quietly, waiting for her to reveal all secrets. She kept staring at his face until she thought she wouldn't speak, and finally she swallowed her saliva, and her memory returned to ten years ago, and she began to reveal the secrets she had in her chest. Strange stories will be told here!
