GARDEN OF DATES

Halkar felt that the iron door barred not only sight but also sound. Halkar closed the iron door and lowered it. Halker remembered that Elsa was standing outside the iron door, watching his footwork. People of the time of making stories were interested in making obstacles and coverings. Sometimes Elsa turns her back.
Halkar turned and looked at the flat land of Harnatiki where all the colors had disappeared. Halkar felt that the earth, the sky, and the great tree before him, like the lines of Harnatic, were someone's pictures. The big tree at Belsnap in the distance is always watching. The black stones in the sky are also looking down. Halkar slowly walked towards the downward path.
Halkar stepped on the dimly lit stairs and came down without a hitch. He had to descend sixteen floors to reach the bottom. Halker remembered that humans had created a time when barriers and hides but also distances made stories. Halkar also felt that the people behind only remember the miseries caused by those who walk in front.
Halkar came out and pulled the big iron gate closed and looked at the road. Wolves are gnawing at some human body. Halkar made sure that the iron gate was indeed closed and went down the road. On seeing Halkar, the wolves left the human body and ran in a different direction. Halker thought it was lucky that the wolves didn't want living human bodies. Halker looked up and walked towards Markbee, looking at the great tree of Belsnap in the distance.
Halkar remembered as he walked that the big tree was as silent as he was, shedding its leaves. When there was no one to give answers, he buried his thoughts in himself and became silent. Similarly, the big tree must have been silenced by someone.
Halkar looked at the big tree and walked. Halkar looked back as if he remembered something. Halker saw the fleeing wolves returning to the human body they had left earlier.
