Afghan
refugee 1: Have you ever felt air
in your blood veins?
Afghan
refugee 2: No, I haven’t. Why do you ask this type of strange
question?
Afghan
refugee 1: If you haven’t, maybe it is because you are new in
Europe. But you’ll do it for sure and don’t be afraid of it. It is a sweet
pain. It is nice. It will first go into your heart and it will give you heart
attacks. It is the same as if you get electric shocks. It is not for one time.
It will come to you for many days or months. It will circulate into your blood
streams. Sometimes it comes to you on the streets when you walk and sometimes
when you sleep on the blanket of your empty room. Every time you will jump
un-intentionally as if you’re given electric shocks. Then it will go to your
brain. There it will give you some other types of shocks. You will jump when
you’re sleeping and you will hear noises like strange type of music inside your
head.
Afghan
refugee 2: How do you know all about this? It seems as if you have
experienced it yourself!
Afghan
refugee 1: Yes I did. When I came here first, once, I was not
feeling well. I went to the doctor and he sent me to a clinic for a blood test in
a nearby location. The person who was supposed to take my blood for the blood test injected air into my blood vein in front of my eyes. He
thought I don’t know anything, but I got to know when I looked at his empty injection bumping air in my blood, but I smiled at him and appreciated
because he was helping me get rid of this messy world where human beings kill
each other every day. But unfortunately it did not kill me. It made me suffer
too much.
Afghan
refugee 2: Do you know what I think? We don’t belong where we live. We came to the wrong place, in the wrong time and
we are just destroying our lives and potential talents by giving all our lives
in the hands of wrong people. We’ve just wasted all our lives by a simple
mistake of coming to a wrong place. That is what I think.
