2. The other two are Abdal about a grammarian who had been under house arrest for decades who’s eyes took on a different life when he talked about Syria’s youth being killed in the 80s. tamhussein.co.uk/2021/01/1769/

I used to be taught by an old grammarian under house arrest in Syria. His only crime had been to hide some books in a cemetery. He told me that he saw the flower of Syrian youth killed in the year of 1982. This story is inspired by this old man. tamhussein.co.uk/2021/01/1769/
