Triger warning: mention of domestic violence and rape.I am lying on my back on the rooftop of Shahrazad’s house, in Morocco. The sky is clear, the stars are glittering and the smell of the incense (a substance that is burned for the sweet smell it produces, frequently use in Arab countries) is filling the air.
