Nowadays we hear about scandals quite frequently, usually to do with a minister of Parliament misusing public funds, or a celebrity saying something controversial. The…

A commotion in the hall startled Saban. He opened his eyes and sat up on the cot confused by the unrecognizable surroundings. A dim light seeped into the dark room through cracks in the wooden door. On his way to the door, he stumbled into Elisaveta’s cot jarring her awake. He opened the door, peered down the hall, and shuffled toward the sounds. A hand touched his shoulder. Turning, he saw Elisaveta. She smiled, and he took her hand as they walked toward the activity. Four people had gathered…
