Witness statements
I heard anklets behind me all the way home. When I stopped, they stopped. When I looked back, there was only my own unmarked door.
Sunita, flower seller
My grandmother painted the phrase on our door every evening for sixty years. We laughed at her. We are not laughing now.
Dev, college student
The tower clock has never been wrong, not once. On the seventh night it stopped at 11:47, and the keeper’s lamp was still burning.
