In Iran I used to have a friend which I will call Ghasem. Ghasem used to
see this girl (let's call her Sakineh) riding the minibus every night
and of course she had noticed him too. Unbeknownst to Ghasem Sakineh had
a lover in the Azari neighborhood whose name was Esmail. To Esmail
Sakineh was a possession like a jewel on his crown. With each ride that
passed Ghasem and Sakineh's story continued and eventually Ghasem took
Sakineh's heart. So one day she looked him in the eyes and said they
couldn't meet again. Meanwhile the word was out on the streets that
Sakineh was messing with someone. As a result Esmail began looking for
Ghasem with a vengeance and a gun. We kept telling Ghasem he better run
and that he was playing with fire but to no avail. One night as time
stood still Ghasem met with Sakineh on a rooftop in the night but they
couldn't hear Esmail coming until he had them both in sight. A shot ran
out like thunder and the blood was on Sakineh's hands with nothing won.
The moral of the story is when someone lies there dying lovers finally
understand.
With the patchy information released we never quite understood who shot
who. Sakineh was taken into custody so we initially thought she shot
both Ghasem and Esmail but there was only one body bag. Another theory
was that Ghasem and Esmail each shot each other. If that was the case
then they both died because of Sakineh.
It had taken a couple of weeks of negotiation but Joe finally got the deal he wanted and drove out of the dealership in his brand new Explorer. His girlfriend knew his real motivation for buying a utility vehicle was because he loved to go four-wheeling on Saturdays with his friends and felt a little conspicuous when he was always doing the "riding" and never the driving. Joe arrived and ran into her house as excited as a nine-year-old boy with his first bicycle. Mary was working at her computer as Joe came up behind her, gave her a big kiss on the cheek and said, "C'mon, c'mon, let's go! Let's go for a ride." They jumped into the Explorer and headed out of town. After a few minutes, Joe pulled over to the side of the road and invited Mary to drive. She got behind the wheel and found that she really enjoyed the sensation of sitting up so high with a great view of everything ahead of her. Joe instructed, "Hang a left here" and as Mary follow...
