The Proud Stand

Emperor Constantine looked at his guests sitting around the imperial rectangle table, smiled dryly, and said softly, “greetings everyone.”

The guests leaned forward toward the emperor. The ruler continued, “Madams, sirs, illustrious captains of the army, and our most Christian friends, I bid you all welcome to my table this evening.”

He cleared his throat, then continued loudly, “We are here today to enjoy a delicious meal and drink. Before beginning to eat, I want to bring to everyone’s attention that the hour of battle is approaching. I want to make it clear to everyone, we, the people of Constantinople, must stand together with firm resolution. Remember that we have always fought with glory against the enemies of Christ. Now the defence of your fatherland will begin, the infidel, evil, and hideous Ottoman Turks are preparing for a siege of our city, once again.”

The Proud Stand by the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire is exciting; this novelette tells the tale of the last confrontation between the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires.

Purchase the book today. ENJOY!

Idealtepe’de bir gun

Resimler super.

Bende bir yada iki degisigi var, bulmam lazim.

Biraz hatirlatma yapiyim.

Okulun ilk bolumunun son gunu idi, herhalde cuma gunu. Yani Aralik ayi, 1987 idi.

Benimde son gunun, cunku Ocak 1988’de, hangi gun hatirlayamiyorum Kanada’ya geldik.

Son gunumuzu, nedense Idealtepe’ye, yani Barbaros Sisneli’nin evine gittik.

Genelde Saskinbakkal gibi yerlere yururduk.

Nasil gittik hatirlayamiyorum, ya otobus, yada tren ile.

Kim vardi?

Hamdi,

Barbaros,

Ali,

Murat, ve

Ben.

Bu resimleri ceken herhalde bendim. Burasi Idealtepe’de bir park’da idi.

Gittik Barbaros’un evine, kimse yoktu, yani annesi ve babasi yok, takildik evinde biraz ve sonra oralarda disarda oynadik.

Sonra ayrildik.

Barbaros ile evin kosesine kadar eslik ettik.

Sonra Hamdi, Murat, Ali, ve Ben munibus yoluna kadar yuruduk.

Orda Hamdi ve Murat otobuse bindiler ve Erenkoy’e geri donduler. Herhalde evleri munibus yoluna yakin oldugu icin.

Ali ile Ben tren istasyonuna kadar yuruduk.

Ali Feneryolu’na gidecekti, Ben ise Pendik’e. Ikimiz karsi duraklarda birbirimize laf atarak treni bekledik. Ve trenler ayni anda geldi, bindik ve ayri yerlere gittik.

Tesekurler dostlar hatiralar icin.
