I saw my partners as they passed between the hostages to collect their
belongings, some were co-operative and took their things out quickly, while
others weren't.. Anyone looked suspicious enough was forced to come out and
searched carefully for any valuable things.. Those whose turn didn't come yet
watched our (cleaning guys) coming towards them in horror, or our (watching
guys) like me in nervous silence..
Did they think about the possibility of them going out alive, to tell about this
painful experience to their friends and families..? And if they were lucky and
lived long enough, to their grandchildren too..? In the winter cold nights, while
drinking their tea.. Maybe some of them would even add more incidents to
what happened and over describe his braveness in fighting the losers who
attacked the place (that would be us) ..?
Maybe others will add crap like us being a part of a religious or a terrorist group,
to use the incident to their own interest, just like TV reporters do already to be
sure that their report about the incident would be attractive enough for their
viewers.. I mean, what would be attractive in an ordinary theft..? It happens
every day..
What would make the report more attractive was us belonging to a terrorist
group that terrorized innocent civilians for sure..
For some reason I found myself thinking about my life few months ago.. I was a
successful guy, and my life was going good, and had all the successful future
ahead of me..
When did things start to fall then..? Difficult to decide precisely.. I guess after
my wife "Rania" died at that hospital after spending a long time receiving
chemotherapy, that wasn't exactly successful in her case.. Since then I tried to
forget all my issues by gambling..
