Anacrucis #18 "And if your truly wise, you'll keep your eyes on Palestine"
It was a haunting dream that wouldn't leave me.
Armed Middle Eastern soldiers sat in my room and all around the Riyadh compound watching and listening all of us westerners with blank expressions. Outside the window, the empty-eyed abiya-ed women watched as well. I spoke on the phone to someone about Israel unafraid of being heard.
Cut to outside: the day's surveillance complete, the soldiers were emptying the rounds from their guns before departing. An old Korean man slips me some valuable jewelry and asks me to keep it safe for him "just in case." I was angered but not intimidated.
