Let Musa leave

You watch as Musa walked out the door. You spend the minutes fretting about his safety, even though he told you not to worry. Time ticks by and eventually you hear a commotion in the hallway.

It's Musa.

But he is not walking through the hallway. He is being carried in by his friends.

They take him into the front room and lie him on the sofa. It's only after seeing your husband's reaction that you realise what has happened. Musa is dead.

Everything seems surreal and the room begins to spin. You prepare to hold his funeral the next day but the Israeli military try to force you to hold it in the dead of the night, a common occurence during the First Intifada.
