In Dhahran, my world is the forecourt of a gas station, an endless loop of cars that never turn off their engines. I pump the gas, I take the payment through the terminal, I wipe the windshields until they gleam. It's a job made of a thousand small, silent servitudes. The voices started as a whisper on the edge of the engine roar, a trick of the heat. "A little slower with that nozzle, Faisal," a voice, perfectly mimicking my station manager, would sneer.

My mother, who prays for my safety from the sun. My father, whose pride is the only thing I have left. "Your father tells everyone you're 'in logistics,' doesn't he?" a voice chuckles, sounding like a
