OUR GERMAN WOLF .......... BY : EnginA kyürek

We live in a big mess. From the windows you can see trucks and excavators. Instead of silence and peace, frustrating sounds come to our ears. The old buildings are demolished and instead create a change, a new aesthetic architecture. Grandchildren architect Sinan (one of the most famous architects of the Turkish sultans Suleiman, Selim II and Murat III) cannot afford permanent structures. The building in which kittens were protected our street was dismantled. The beautiful garden with roses an old aunt became a victim of land for additional parking meters.

In two days, the building of 60-year-old disappeared from the street, was abandoned by local and trucks docked at the site. Kittens shouted from the garden. The building was old, the paint on the walls began to take off, but I think the old building had a soul.

After the inauguration of the first bucket of cement, a new guest appeared at our house. Near the bulldozer (dozer machine type), in the middle of the road there was a German shepherd dog. Metal bars guarding against theft. The German shepherd seems to control the foundations of the area and what is going to happen here. Lying in the street on the merits of the team, again look to the right and then left, as if trying to remember the number of cars nearby. It was clearly visible to collectors of paper.

The main problem for collectors of waste paper was that they could not cross the street. Inclined collectors seemed to carry humps like camels. They are pulling their cars and how the machines cleaned the streets. Their complaints, fights and screaming did not help. German Shepherd Street did not react. When workers left the place, he disappeared magically and returned to continue his program after working hours.

Among us we say that hunt in the dark, several times, and I hunt. He did not react to children. While families with children passed, I remained lying quietly with his head bowed respectfully. Apparently all living beings have consciousness. He never barked late in the morning and always knew when to get off the street. It was a German shepherd and had all the marks of their race.

We did not know where it came from; we did not know which building had been watching earlier. We knew nothing about it and did not know their sex. Correct posture, uniformity of color, shiny coat and alertness in his eyes indicated that represented the purity of their race.

Cats are protected from street dogs have moved to another area. Kitten’s old aunts had to make a forced trip. Area dogs stayed away from our German shepherd dog to avoid being a victim of his attack. Pouring cement was so fast that in a month the foundation of the building began to rise. It was an ugly sight. Iron tables and seemed wet concrete human internal organs.

I wondered what outfit would take that inner ugliness to form a unity. When the street was dark, our German shepherd dog often became invisible. He knew very well that he could hide in every corner of the street.

Taking quick steps, I added the courage spoken in silent words. One thing he deceived me and the whole neighborhood. At the time when our alertness was asleep, he jumped from behind the car and barked behind me. I heard laughter from the barking. Bark barking in the street as eco leaves. This was the main element of entertainment from the balcony windows.

Our German shepherd barked happily and muffled laughter came from the balconies, though, thinking that they had the opportunity to become victims by chance, their smiles disappeared. When the new victim arrived, the curtains of the balconies collapsed again in a muffled laugh. Our German shepherd as an actor played a role in front of the audience.

When construction was almost finished, we were all accustomed to German shepherd. In the depths of our souls we loved him. It was a kind of security for our area. Those who had the highest number of complaints began to prepare food and water for our dog German shepherd. They brought food he never ate with us. Circled and showing signs of behaving like an artist, seemed to say, well if you insist ... then at the end I ate everything.

The resulting bulk of the building began reducing blocking the street. The buildings were like people and had souls. People give soul to buildings and their experiences enrich the soul moving from there to the street, and this part of the spiritual city turns toward Mecca.

The whole neighborhood had a bad day upon waking. Outside there was a brilliant business center. But the use of expensive materials that added a great glow could not ease the pain and grief. As I said, we were destroying the spirit of the street and, more importantly, the spirit of the city. Our German shepherd was established in our minds while we were worried about him. His eyes disappeared and his scent disappeared.

It's been a while since the car was out of sight. It was so convincing, the habit of taking soul and body. Every living entity needs fulfillment. The whole neighborhood had a bad day upon waking.

Guards and construction workers have returned to their country and our German shepherd has decided to stay abroad. He disappeared for a while looking for treasure, but one night she screamed. I did not see all week, did not know what he ate and drank or where he was. When listening to our conversations, proudly he is shaking its tail.

We did not want to leave. Perhaps he was proud to have earned their own retirement because he would not accept himself as a guard building. I wanted to enjoy the calm to which he was accustomed. Apart from the old owners, the new tenants also came to the building. Kittens returning from their trip as they waited for her aunts. Students who occupied the homes of my aunts took them on the road as an inheritance.

Kittens settled on the street and as the German shepherd, watched his being. In addition to the situation of kittens, our German shepherd has restored peace in the area. Still we called German shepherd. May be because we had no name for this wolf? Even though my aunts disappeared, the old buildings were demolished and towers scattered throughout the city, had a German shepherd dog. Yes, his name was.... 

It was our German wolf...
