Do not look at our hands. Do not look at our blisters and calluses. Look into our hearts. We are your Scheherazade. Are you ready for us?

Of Mice and People
‘Did you hear about the people who eat mice? I ate mice.
When I was on the way to the factory for the night shift, I would put mouse traps in the field. When I was coming back home from work in the morning, I would pick up the mice that got caught in the traps while I was working. I would cook the mice for breakfast. They were delicious. They tasted like chicken. I was very happy then.
Mice in the countryside are good for eating. Mice in the city are not good for eating.’
