Figs

This old gentleman saw us sitting in the park and kindly offered us two figs. We got talking and found out he has worked at the local market for 60 years and was the sole survivor of the 'Markale massacre'. After the mortal-shell hit, during the siege of Sarajevo, he said he stood up and saw over fifty dead bodies surrounding him. He gave us a bunch of grapes and we thanked him as he walked to catch his bus.
