nazira.

my first small news item with my name under it, a cat on a roof on the street behind the market. the cat's name is Sultan and he belongs to nobody. the neighbours bring him sausage and fight about who he likes more.

the paper printed it on page 7 next to an ad for winter boots. i bought three copies. grandmother has cut it out and stuck it to the fridge. there's a photo of the cat, tiny, and my name, tiny, and she says it's a big paper.
