‘You have four more days — four more days for us to kil.l you.’

I prepared this meal during the four days the occ.upation announced before the tr.uce began. They told us, ‘You have four more days — four more days for us to kil.l you.’ I survi.ved those days and returned to my home with the cea.sefire. But I didn’t share this video back then, because all of us — those who thought we had sur.vived the geno.cide — went through a phase of shock, trying to process all the disasters we had lived through for nearly a year and a half, feeling completely alone and hopeless.
While we were quietly living our unbearable grief, they came back to k.ill us again — this time with madness.
