An excerpt from the book:

How is it that he resides in the heart, a fleeting breeze in his life, a breeze that left a shiver in an intimate encounter that brought his mother and father together one night before a promising spring? He wondered in secret, then soon came to his senses, and the roar of the black plane returned as it dropped its lava. He gathered what strength he had left, wanting to scream in the faces of the absent and the present, but he felt a tightness in his chest, and his vocal cords wouldn't help him let out his usually thunderous voice. He called upon Al-Hasani and sought help from his grandfather Al-Ghawth, then he let out his first cry: 'Help me, O Baz!' Then he let out a second cry that tore through his chest, coming directly from his heart: 'I am not a traitor... I am not a traitor... The homeland is everything... By God, I only fled to save myself and my family from this massacre... O Lord of the universe... O Lord of all people... O Lord of the tired, the oppressed, and the fearful, open Your gate for me. The war has opened the gates of hell for us, death lurks from every side, and only Your gate remains. O Lord, open Your gate for all those who are saving themselves and their families, for I and all the defeated stand at Your threshold.' Then he fell to his knees and called out: 'Is there a gate that leads to all gates?!'
