| Fear Box by Kristine Ong Muslim Fear is the first language known to man, the vacancy that discredits the path of light— the one that tunnels straight to the landmarks we have hidden as children many years ago. Outside the box, rain is an artifact; it pours before the unwitting weatherman's door. Panic is equivalent to the slope of the avalanche; it goes with the perspective. |
