I remember how brightly the moon shone the night before they arrived. I sat with Tamas and our youngest boy Isha‚ who was eleven‚ while he ate the fish he had humbly caught that morning. He told us of an ugly‚ black bird that had startled him when it land on the rocks while fishing. I didn’t think much of it until he told his father how scary the sound that came from it was.
