Koohii Story 1 | Think of the early Christian martyrs who suffered martyrdom because of their faith. See them held in cells for 10 days (a decameron) before being fed to the lions. They appear before the chanting Roman crowds as bones to be devoured. Think of what was leftover after the lions finished them off....nothing, not even a pile of bones to bury. |
Koohii Story 2 | The boney man martyred himself during his 10 day hunger-strike. |
