In the Orchard, the Swallows
Author(s): Peter Hobbs
In the foothills of a mountain range in northern Pakistan is a beautiful orchard. Many miles away, a frail young man is flung out of prison gates. Looking up, scanning the horizon for swallows in flight, he stumbles and collapses in the roadside dust. His ravaged body tells the story of fifteen years of brutality.
