I wrote this story so I could give you an extract of what is happening in Syria. Harasta is a highly affected town in Damascus (the capital) during the current evolving situation in the Arab Springs. I chose the name based on one of the most involved areas in the Syrian Revolution.
According to sources, The Human Rights Community, Harasta is known as 'The Ghost Town'. I was inspired by Harasta and I wrote this story to convey the current situation.
