Chapter 7

What happened to Atiq? It seems as though the taliban has taken a huge tole on him, as well as many other people in Kabul. Is he going to be the next crazy man in the street? He used to want children, but all the children are in the streets. Sick from the trashy state of the city and the negative attitudes of everyone around. What is he still doing in Kabul? Zunaira and Mohsen ran into Atiq when he was shoving through everyone with anger. I think it is stange how these two people keep bumping into each other, but there is not conversation. Mohsen was laughing in the street and a man from the taliban hit him with a club telling him that the streets were not a circus. The taliban makes me angry. They are total fun suckers. To limit a person from laughing is like taking their life away. They also hit Mohsen with a whip when he tried to tell the taliban what he was doing with his wife in the street. The taliban made Mohsen separate with his wife and go to the mosque to see Mullah Bashir preach a serman. If i were Mohsen i would be afraid to leave my wife. Especially with the taliban everywhere.
