It was a cool September evening, with the wind whistling among the trees and hyenas roaming in search of prey or cadavers. That night, the village of Dow-Dow in the province of Wollo was chilly, dead quiet, and pitch dark, as though life outside of the hut no longer existed. Fanaye, a lean and strong thirteen-year-old girl, lay on her thin cot listening intently to the eerie sounds of the night that filtered in through the thatched roof of her hut, barely audible against the vibrant snoring of her father sleeping nearby. It's a good thing Mother and Aylahu do not snore, she thought as she rolled over and covered her cold body with her cotton blanket. Her thoughts drifted into the coming morning. She only wished that her mother, Hewait, would allow her to go to the neighboring village by herself to visit her favorite cousin, Yenanish. The two girls were inseparable friends, and they often wondered why their families didn't live in the same village in the first place.
