TELEPHONE CALL By CHERAN We have raised up our white flags. No sign yet of the promised message for which we wait. Darkness spreads even as the sun rises, slowly, slowly. We look once more at our friends who were denied the peace of a painless death whose blood flows as they breathe their last. Our satellite telephones will go with us to the cremation ground, to the very end. But this is my final call: We must leave now. Lakshmi Holmström Translator
