"When a man cannot see a woman, then what is he going to harass her for? Nothing," said Abu Donya, a taxi driver, whose views are shared by many Egyptians.

Before anyone could predict her actions, the mistress rushed into the kitchen area of the one room shanty, retrieved a magnificent knife from one of three drawers and returned to my mother’s bedside. Withholding mercy, she plunged the knife into my mother’s rapidly beating heart. Deep, deep down to the handle, exerting a grunt and anguished cry with the effort.The woman helping to bring me into

“Then what are you, if you are not like him? Do you drink too?”He smiled but it was not a true smile, it was a mask to hide something he did not want her to see.“Y-you are like him,” she gasped. “You are a monster.”He smiled again, revealing a veil of a face that frightened her.“No different than you.

There was rain in my sunshine when I woke that morning. I thanked the Heavens and called it “thrilling” while thinking of childhood and the joy that comes along when dancing underneath raindrops and playing in puddles of mud. But someone came along and tossed me a lemon. He thought my skin was thin . . . or maybe he was not thinking. I am sure he is the thought less kind. Yet I believe he
