In a poor avenue in Beirut, Adam went out looking for a loaf of bread for his hungry daughter.His fate planned that a sniper was hunting every moving object; even the ghosts who were afraid of Beirut's wild nights and were in dead search for a safer place to hide.
A sound of a bullet explode in Adam's head, and he was possessed by feelings of death; and the sweat began to invade his cells and body. He knew that he was not able to love or hate. the angel of death took his soul to outer world, and Adam became a neutral current of passion in a world out of gravity; It's a world of ordered chaos.The stars watched his loss while he departed leavig myth and faiths and his hungry daughter behind.
He fell on the asphalt. time passed and the hole in his head dried while the sniper was waiting for a new prey with a new bullet with no hatred, because he was carrying out orders as an obedient student. Surrounded with darkness, Adam stood and walked slowly and with a pride that nobody would guess that he was a body without a spirit. He was heading to the sea " what a trick...what gluttony" the paces were wide but slow " The weakest prey.....Adam..ah". He reached the shore and proceeded while a desire to cry burned his heart. The level of water rose until it passed the hole in his head and he walked and the water became deep enough for him. He carefully started to wash the spots of blood off." The girl wont be able to sleep...hungry....infrared radition tech...the dog.."
-'peace on you .are you a fisherman?' said a little red fish.
-" Stupid fish.....a silly "said he.
-' Then tell them to stop fishing us.'
-" Who is going to tell my daughter!"
-' The fishermen'
-" How can I clean this blood...damned it is completely dry."
-' Please!! Tell them.'
-" I'm late ...late....late. They are going to understand...you are a silly fish"
He walked out of water without murmuring, and he wasn't able to hear or see any more; he walked to the spot where he fell and fell again.Sounds of bullets were heard everywhere in Beirut.
