I'm scared... This is unexpected. Baba's boss fired him. Baba says everyone is being fired because the company is shutting down. Mama and Baba are staying up late into the night to find work for Baba. It's not helping. I should be asleep. They tell me to go to bed. They're worried I'll get scared. But I know something is wrong because we are living by candlelight without showers. Mama hasn't gotten groceries since last week, and lately she's been just pouring canned foods into plastic bowls and microwaving it. I haven't had a good meal in days. The money has almost completely run out. Mama has only a little over $100 Saudi dollars left. It's not enough. Uh-oh. Mama's coming to see if I'm asleep. Gotta go.
