In early autumn, 2021, fifty-year-old Beyhan Mutlu went drinking with friends
at the edge of the forest near his home town of İnegöl, Turkey. At some point,
Beyhan stood up and walked into the trees, quite drunk. Later that night, his
wife discovered he hadn’t come home and he wasn’t answering his phone. She
called his friends, but none of them knew where he was. She reported him as
missing, and the police organized a search party. Beyhan had stumbled to a hut
he knew in the woods, gone inside and passed out. When he woke up and headed
for home, he ran into a group of people looking for someone who was lost. He
decided to help them. They hadn’t gone far before one of them called Beyhan’s
name. He answered, “I’m here.” After being confirmed as the person they sought,
Beyhan told police, “Don’t be too hard on me. My dad’s gonna kill me.”
