Do rána
Until morning

Summary/Abstract: A short story from Yulia Ozen. In the quiet of the night, a woman sits in her kitchen, taking an online Turkish language exam on her mobile phone, despite the recent power outage. This act of defiance against the chaos of war symbolizes her resistance and determination. The war has transformed everyday life, with constant threats and the need for resilience. Emotional numbness and physical exhaustion have become the norm, yet moments of normalcy, like playing with a pet or choosing wedding rings, offer brief respite. The narrative captures the surreal blend of mundane and extraordinary, as people navigate the horrors of war while clinging to fragments of their former lives. The story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and find light in the darkest times.
