Martyrs and Packing
Martyrs:
A woman who follows the rule of the Mullah, in the IRI, cries because none of her children are martyrs of the Revolution. She plots out her future, imagining that the rules of Islam will punish her for that. And not only because her children just could not get shot or gassed, but one of them, evidently, fought against her precious Revolution 28 years ago. Unfortunately, her future is a one way ticket, and she's going first class to an Islamic hell. At least, that's what I imagine runs through her very narrowed perspective.
Packing:
Last month. Shalom Little Tehran.
