Tamareed
There is a voice that keeps returning in my head.
Saleh writes in his notebook what he can't say to his family. And a voice no one else can hear enters the details of his day.
What does Saleh hear?
Saleh wants an ordinary life: a job he can settle into, a little peace, and days when he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone.
But a voice no one else can hear enters the details of his day. When he tries to withdraw a report he filed asking for help, he finds his name in papers he never knew existed, and realizes that leaving the office will not end it.
Between his fear of ridicule and his need to understand what is happening, a relationship begins that he can't put a name to, and the danger reaches his home. Saleh draws close to a world where the eye alone is not enough to believe what it sees.

What is happening to me?
There is a voice that keeps returning in my head. I don't know where it comes from, or what it wants from me. Whenever it comes back I am thrown, and I wait for it to say something I can understand, or to fall silent so I can rest. I am afraid, and I don't know what to do with this fear.
“Please, stay away from me. Please, I'm in pain.”
But the voice also stirs a strange warmth in me. Yes, warmth. I have no other word for it. I want to be rid of it, and then, when it is gone, I find myself listening to the emptiness it leaves behind.
