Zeenat woke up to screams, sirens, and gunshots. She was quick to peep out the window; after smelling fear and anger, she gathered her essentials and ducked into her basement.
Anxious, she stuffed her ears with cotton and started chanting. Hours ticked into days and into a week. Hope was her companion. Finally, everything was quiet.
She came out with her face covered cause of clouds of soot. The residue had turned everything brown and burnt sienna. However, she lifted that cloth and inhaled deeply because the smell of peace is the calm harmony of surroundings and the senses.
