You are at your home when you hear gunshots and a loud bang on your door. You open the door to see two men with guns. They ask for your ID. 

​

They frisk you and enter your house, but do not meet eyes with the women. They ask for any other male members of the household. You tell them you are the only one left. So they ask you to instruct your mother and sister to remain indoors and not leave without a male chaperone. 

​

This is now an everyday occurrence. You are no longer surprised by the loud bang on your door, but you do not leave your country. You just wait that someday there will no longer be any gunshots and people will pray in peace, not fear.
