A Loose Dress That Doesn’t Fit Me

I have been standing for half an hour, contemplating the road from my window. An old lady riding a bicycle passed by. A pigeon passed by too, but apart from that no one passed by, and I did not hear anyone’s voice, neither a human voice nor a bird nor a stone. For a moment I felt that I was watching a still image, not a live scene. I finally remembered that today is Sunday and my surprise disappeared; this day, in addition to being a holiday, is a dull day in Germany, a dull, gloomy and desolate day; there is no movement in the streets, nor in the houses, nor movement in the sky, nor on the ground. Sometimes I imagine that the inhabitants of this country speak sign language on Sunday so as not to break the thread of eloquent silence and existential calm on this day. On the outskirts of where I live, the scene becomes more tragic and heavier, resembling mourning ceremonies, or scenes of a curfew; On Sundays in those areas, a foreigner feels lonely, isolated, and as if he has been living a hundred years of isolation.

Camera Man

“Mom, help me, Mama, I came back and found him dead, I swear to God I didn’t know he was an addict, I went down to get something to eat and came back and found him dead. Mom, I’m leaving the house and running away, I’ll try to call you from any other number, I don’t know where to go... help me, Mom.”

Samia enters this bloody conflict in a suspenseful framework on lands she has never visited, and people she has never known before, and her only hope is to survive the journey and reach her son and Aboud Shams.

My Right Hand

Debris

The life of a person is told, destinies lead to wars of conscience and rebellion against the obvious and the usual, the awakening of the mind and a warm embrace, death and life, regret and a missed meeting…

You may relate to the characters, so you rejoice and grieve, and they take your hand to wander with them…

You begin to project the events onto what you have gone through or may go through, losing hope in the world, then lighting the last match in the matchbox…

The mind tames destinies and laws rooted in the minds of humans, so that the matchstick turns into an eternal beacon guiding lost ships to your warm shores…

So don’t search for the secret, it is in your hands.

Mid Love

This book is for you, who is standing in the middle of the road wondering whether I should continue or return?

To you, the distinguished one, who muted your different voice and chose to repeat it like an echo between the voices of others.

To you, there is no defect in you, but you are shrouded in shame in front of people.

To you, you who are afraid of nothing until you have lost everything.

You, standing in your place, justify your black mistakes with your white excuses.

Whatever your mask is, it is time to break free from it and relax your face. No one is here to judge you, not even yourself.

All of us on these pages will stand truthfully and silently in the face of the longest lie handed down to humanity today, “the lie of idealism.”

We will read history from another book that was not written by a human being, but rather we will write in its pages what we knew ourselves.

We will give up selfishness and share the bread of mercy among ourselves.

We will politely open those doors closed by the law of social defect, and see why people lost a large part of themselves while building their lives!

We do not ask here because we are looking for answers that convince us. But because we are looking for answers that change us!

If you decide to read this book, start with the story of Hanbal.

Corona 19's Diary

Narrating the events on a daily basis during the Corona pandemic, from its appearance until the discovery of the vaccine, and attempting to convey scenes from different parts of the world—how they dealt with the virus and the challenges they faced—in the form of a true narrative that the author experienced during that period.

The Harbor And Other Stories

في لحظات.. يتلاشى الحاضر، يغيب في بُؤَر خلفيَّة، ويطغَى الماضي بكلِّ مخزونه، فأشاهد فيلماً وثائقياً يزخر بصور وحركة ونبض حياة.

 عديدة هي الأسباب التي تحفزه وتستدعيه ليدهمني وينقلني مِن عالَم حاضر أنا أعيشه، إلى ماضٍ بعيد لأعيشه مِن جديد، وأراه بوضوح؛ أعيش تفاصيله، وأتنقَّل بين مشاهده المختلفة.. ماضٍ ليس كلُّه بجميل، بعضه يجدِّد الأحزان، أحاول جاهداً أن أتغافل عنه، وأتجاوز حقيقته وأحداثه، قد أنجح، لكن تبقَى تداعياته تسرِي في كلِّ خلايا تفكيري، فيخيِّم وقتها عليَّ حزن، وينتابني كدر.

هل هو الحنين إلى الماضي ما يدفعني للعودة إلى تلك المحطَّات مِن حياتي؟ ربَّما يطول توقُّفي في بعضها، وإن كان عمرها لحظات إلا أنَّها مشعَّة وواضحة، وأخرى باهتة لا تسترعي اهتمامي، فأتجاوزها مسرعاً.      

The Harbor And Other Stories

Sometimes, I find the present just fades away and becomes background noise. This is when the past – with its bank of memories – takes over, and I find myself as if watching a documentary, complete with images, movement and the pulse of life. Certain triggers raid my mind and take me from my present life to a long-distant past in such a way that I can see and relive it in detail, and even move between its different scenes.
But those scenes and details are not always pleasant, for some still bring sorrow, and these are the ones whose existence I try hard to forget. And though I might sometimes succeed, their influences remain in every cell of my body, and they leave me overwhelmed with anguish and pain.
Is it my nostalgia for the past that keeps taking me back to those ‘stations’ of my life?
Some of the stops on my journey are too hazy to attract my attention, and I hurriedly pass them by. Others are so vivid and clear that I prefer to linger there, press rewind, and play again.

Dear Mrs. Wafaa

The journalist writer (Wafaa) thought that with the martyrdom of her fiancé Khaled three weeks before their wedding, that her life had ended, and that her happiness had been buried next to him, but a letter from an unknown girl came to her on her first working day after a long period of mourning, at the door of the readers’ mail, which she supervises editing. The letter was written in a trembling handwriting of a little girl who asks to visit her. It gave her hope, a new life, new love and new feelings of a different kind, which she had lost hope to live after Khaled's death, but it requires a lot of concessions from her, especially from a young woman.

The decision is difficult, the sacrifices are many, and the responsibility entrusted to it is great.

A long and bumpy road she walks in fulfillment of love and willingly, years pass and youth falter, she faced too many obstacles, but she is determined to overcome the difficulties, and her way is in that love, sacrifice and self-denial.

Mistakes Of Past

Novel summary:

Everyone has a past that shapes his present and shapes his future.

The author of the biography was keen to depict for us the years of loss that befell him when he was young, and how bad friends leads to death, but at the same time he was keen to highlight the negative role of the family in guiding the behavior of children, and the hero of the novel would not have fallen into the abyss of ruin. The family’s dispersal, the loss of the relationship between the parents, and its impact on the children.

But the writer was able to transcend adversity and rise above wounds, for the past has taken a ladder to rise to the heights of heights, and here emerges the sense of the novel that does not accept failure, and always aspires to summits.

The Winter Of Baghdad And Dubai

When love and time meet, then time decides the fate of this love. Will the ending be a happy one? Or will it be very hard to imagine? We should not give in to time and the destiny that it forces on us. Instead, we should fight time, and change this destiny one way or another. But here, happiness has always been temporary, and there isn’t a happy ending like we used to read in our childhood. A happy life has never been real. Endings have always been this way. They were sad one way or another. Endings are not the same as we see them in a movie or in our dreams. Is this caused by us? Or caused by time that predetermined our destiny and left us dreaming? It is watching us from afar and laughing, because it knows what is written at the end of the path. Oh, how I wished to see happy endings lasting for days and years until the end of our lives! But we live in a very bitter reality. We wish that destiny will play its role for the future generations, and for them to learn how to draw their path with care, love and sincerity. This is how I view real life which we are living in. This book is a part of society, customs and traditions.
