Guest: Doğukan Doğan
Title of The Work: Breakups Pregnant with Beginnings
Original Title: Başlangıçlara Gebe Ayrılıklar
Genre: Story

“Every separation leads to a new beginning and every beginning leads to a new separation.
No matter how much we don’t want it, unavoidable reasons will lead to an unwanted sadness,
And sad speeches to teary eyes.
You’ll say it was the wrong time, the wrong person.
Yet it won’t be the answer your poor haughty heart wants…

I hope one day to shrink in your words and grow in your eyes…”

He was writing these lines on a corner of the paper, the tip of which was yellowed due to spilled tea. Devamını Oku…

It was at that moment that Esma’s mind was enlightened like a keyhole in the suffocation of the repetitions of “Why, why, why”. She searched for the key moment of the past four years with Ahmet in their last conversation through elephant patterns. Devamını Oku…

The square of the village, which had been taken captive by the August heat, was groaning with the joyful laughter of the children.

Once upon a time I loved someone too. I guessed that he also loved me, maybe I hoped so, I don’t know now. He offered to share his Life with me, but I found it risky and did not accept it, because I had shared many things before, but Life had never been among them. Even Love, it took me a long time to share it with someone else. Wasn’t it risky? Yes, it was. Was it a good outcome? Not really, but it was a good experience. But was life like that? Devamını Oku…
