3. The Siege of Mecca

I was in a shuttered mall in Jordan, waiting for some Jihadis. Suddenly I heard several machine guns being cocked behind me. Which was odd, because my terrorists' guns were stage props made of wood.

This week, my attempt to recreate a bloody, two week long siege on a shoestring budget in the Middle East almost ends as badly as the events I was portraying.
