Original Title: Horozun Günahı
Genre: Story
The square of the village, which had been taken captive by the August heat, was groaning with the joyful laughter of the children.

Title of The Work: A Timeless Place
Original Title: Zamansız Bir Yer
Genre: Poetry
In another universe, I’d like to know you.
In that garden where lemon trees take root,
I’d like to live you.
When the swallows migrate,
We knew that winter would turn to spring.
When the leaves turn yellow and fall,
We knew that autumn would turn to winter.
That the whole cycle of time would disappear
In that place where we kissed each other
I’d like to live you.
Our feet free, our hands together
The one where we rise from the ground to the sky,
I’d like to live you in a universe.
