ALL THE STORIES

At that moment three more people entered the room somehow and where attempting to push past me into a tiny closet behind us. My crotch was pressed up against the immigration bribe guy's head as the three people behind me tried to squeeze through the space between my butt cheeks.

Tear gas smoke drifted across the city, creating an eerie fog. I went to my room and listened to the BOOM. BOOM BOOM outside. Eventually night fell and the sounds of rioting were replaced by the howls and barks of stray dogs roaming the streets of Khartoum.

The car rolled forward slowly as I pinched my eyes shut and tried to look really Afghan and super-duper asleep, possibly even dead. Invisible, if that was an option on the table. I hoped Irina wasn’t peeking too obviously. We inched forward.

Something dark and squat was racing ahead of us across the scrubby savannah, darting in and out of our headlights as we bounced over bushes and rocks in fevered pursuit, the truck lurching up and down violently as I struggled to take the world’s worst photo of, possibly, a honey badger.

On the last day of the trip, we casually stopped by our driver’s house to pick up his AK-47. We were the furthest West we were going to go on this trip, and thus the closest to the action, and our guide wanted to have the gun with us in the car in case there was trouble. This kind of thing is really chill in Yemen.

With just me and the sea as an audience, the Sea Organ wheezed much louder, playing a peaceful asthmatic tune as the rough sea stumbled and slapped against the waterfront like Bob Dylan’s slobbery lips abusing a worn-out Hohner that should have been tossed out in the late 60s.
