Şahmaran Kentinde Kayıp Bir Yolcu

“…As we continued talking, the shepherd, who paused as if to reveal a secret, suddenly mentioned a water well. According to what he said, this well was close to where we were staying. The shepherd said there was a smell coming from the well. As far as we understood from the shepherd's language, the fact that he told us about this smell showed that he was not talking about any dead creature. Why this time and why was he telling us? Was he revealing a commonly understood secret? Or was he trying to break through a wall of fear? We didn't know. But we felt that there was a deep-seated fear. The incident was a strange betrayal and had a strange outcome. They had a spirit as if they were hiding something, smelling something that would stab them in the back. It seemed like there was something going on in the back of their brains. At that moment, when weakness and fear combined with keeping a secret, strange faces appeared. We understood this before, but we had no information about the incident. It was obvious on their faces that there was a testimony that alienated them and actually made them accustomed to lying, but what was it? The plan was prepared so perfectly that it was almost impossible to think otherwise.

“It was a strange smell. We lowered the piling friend into the well. He fell and screamed at the same time. The secret was shattered.  It is true that new days begin with the change of believed stories. The Shahmaran story changed here. The man was no longer betraying. The village of Bikêrê, similar to the city of lala and deaf people in fairy tales, changed with the confession of a shepherd, and the wheel of time turned upside down. The missing passenger in the city of Şahmaran was revealed, but not only the missing passenger; Those who made him lose his way were sought and found at other times..."

True stories that happened. When expressed by dedicated witnesses of interesting times, the fairy-tale and epic elements separated and found their first pure meaning, and the moment and history itself, which had been dragging them along with deaf senses, were purified from their blurriness and found again the lost channel expressed in an uncertain longing.
