I'm on the roof of our mud-brick house, hanging our laundry to dry. My hijab and long, flowly clothing sways in the desert wind. Down below, I hear some shouting, and people calling my name. But I ignore it, assuming it's my older brother snapping at me to cook his lunch. Little do I know, he and my grandparents are being forced out of our house, with no warning, by a group of British soldiers. I hum my favorite song as I clothes-pin the garments on a string, my expression aloof, until I see an alley cat staring at me from the next roof over. I smile warmly at her. Salam pishee khanoom! I say, in Dari, meaning. "Hi kitty!" Az ghabl be fekret boodam. Beeyah! "I was thinking of you/preparing for your visit. Here!" I bend over a copper dish laid in the shade, and retrieve a fat, juicy chicken leg. I throw it across the roof. It lands with a single bounce, and the hungry cat catches it mid air, running away somewhere safe to have his little meal.
