current song: Deftones – Knife Prty

- They have my favorite book,

Kitab al-Bulhan... The Book of Surprises...

From the 14th century.

I used to love looking at these pictures
when I was a little girl.

- It's beautiful.

- My grandfather
would read it to me.

It's about djinn and devils
and shape-shifters.

- There are seven djinn kings, right?

One for each day of the week.

They all have their own color.

They can change into anything, any animal.

Any person.

- This djinn is the Red King of Tuesday.
He was the one that scared me the most.

My grandfather said
the djinn were gone forever…

but I still see him in my dreams.
