Quote
I became what I am today at the age of twelve. (Chapter 1)
That was a long time ago, but its wrong what they say about the past, about how you

can bury it. (Chapter 1)

If you were a kid living in the wazir akbar khan section of kabul, you knew about assef
and his famous stainless-steel brass knuckles, hopefully not through personal

experience. (Chapter 5)
And if you were a boy living in kabul, the day of the tournament was undeniably the

highlight of the cold season. (Chapter 5)

As with any war, you had to ready yourself for battle. (Chapter 6)
You open your mouth. Open it so wide your jaws creak. You order your lungs to draw
air, NOW, you need air, need it NOW But your airways ignore you. They collapse,
tighten, squeeze, and suddenly youre breathing through a drinking straw. Your mouth
closes and your lips purse and all you can manage is a strangled croak. Your hands
wriggle and shake. Somewhere a dam has cracked open and a flood of cold sweat spills,

drenches your body. You want to scream. You would if you could. But you have to
breathe to scream. (Chapter 10)
