I Give You The World
For Kayleigh's, The Story of Humanity Micro-Fiction Challenge
We fell headlong into the void, tumbling, laughing, overwhelmed by the dizzying array. You were there to catch my fall, and I was quick to hold your hand.
Your perfect eyes inspired my first, best canvas. I told you then, I'd give you the world. And I did, my love.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
