And she was murdered.
Your watch had begun when two pistol shots broke the silence of the cemetery in the air. While spending the night in the house under the three trees, the moons flew away after hearing the sound of the shots. The first shot pierced the girl's bulging chest and sank her heart into the mattress on which she had been shot for the last time that night, because now she had to get up after the pig was blown out. The second shot also went to the grave in the middle of the night. The victim's name was Nadia and she was of the same age as Shabab. The killer's name was Chaudhry Khuda Bakhsh, whose hair had the sheen of silver strands. Before Nadia's chest was pierced, there were traces of the khakiness of the paddy and the purity of the fox in her eyes, and after the shot, the veiled innocence was revealed on that familiar face, while the innocence of the victim's legs was radiant. Even after her breathing stopped, it was thought that she was still in a deep sleep. She would wake up and take the alarm and disrupt the system of the ears, but it was just the ears Nadia had returned to the village three months ago after completing a four-year degree in physics from a government university in Lyallpur. She had accepted that the time had come for her to get married because her father would never allow her to get a job. He had to give her permission because, after all, he was the village Chaudhary, who owned four acres of land, two hundred buffaloes, high-bred horses, a tractor, and four kanals of land. There was something about him that seemed like the story of a king. According to the Podhry's self-made belief, if he allowed his daughter to get a job, her community and the village would be ostracized. Nadia was a poor girl, so she did not discuss the job with her father.

SINS OF SUDAN — The Ghost Lion Rises. AI-Generated.
The desert night in Omdurman was silent, yet heavy — the kind of silence that came only after bodies stopped screaming. The moon hung like a cracked coin in the sky, pale and exhausted. Under its ghost-light, a boy stood barefoot in the sand, staring at flames devouring the only home he knew.

Mandate the legal name change of domestic violence murder victims
On October 14, 2024, Dainara Nicole Burford was tragically murdered by her husband. He shot her and then discarded her body in the trash while their five children were at home. I refer to her by her maiden name, Burford, as do all who love her—none of us will use her killer's last name. His last name was not mentioned at her celebration of life. I believe the law should change so that all legal court documents and media coverage cannot use the name of the perpetrator.

End of Watch: Cops Killed on Duty
Police officers take an oath to protect and serve, confront danger, take care of the bad guys, and take them to jail to keep us safe. Each time they put on their uniform and badge for a day on the job, they accept a reality many of us could not fathom: they could be left with scars they’ll carry forever, or pay the ultimate price and lose their life.
