The Diary of Gul Makai

"On my way from school to home I heard a man saying 'I will kill you'. I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter relief he was talking on his mobile and must have been threatening someone else over the phone." The diary entry begins with Gul's recollection of "a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taleban."

From the Diary of Anne Frank, January 19, 1944: "I (there I go again) don’t know what’s happened, but since the dream I keep noticing how I’ve changed."
