Charming especially in its last word surprise, the formal, repeated, familiar call (as if to prayer?) in the open air, as the congregation's night "shutter"s begin to open in response.

Hi Kristina, Interesting. Yeah, rooters sure will wake ya up in the mornings. Fresh eggs, yum. I get fresh brown eggs. So good.

I love that last line. It juxtaposed my thought process on where this was going and then, BAM, that dang minaret. Fantastic ku Kristina!
