The Descent

Sometimes life takes us far into experiences that overweigh our capacities. We actually have no clue why they’re happening to us and we don’t have a control over them or on overcoming them. At such times, we lose our grasp upon our lives entirely. Our behavior changes and the same happens to our souls and our appearance. But when God sets us free from these troubles, we come to know the value of those who stood beside us and never gave up on us, those who ignored the urge of leaving us when, once in the past, we broke down or when we made a decision to escape a hurtful situation.

The Dancer And The Stranger

We were young and we grew old, we grew feeble and grey. The age limit is the ambitions of some of us… or embarrassment… or fear of taking risks, or perhaps fear of the reaction of those around us.

We placed age as an obstacle to our progress, and we were not aware that inside each one of us is the heart of a child, the ambition of a young man, the generosity of an elder, and the maturity of an age about which some desperate people said: Time is up… We are old!

Honesty and loyalty, love and generosity, remain as long as we are alive on earth. We may be late in reaching our ambitions, our goals, or even our emotional relationships, but each of us still has a longing to reach goals and dreams that live inside us.

They tell me and include themselves in two words: “Our time is up.” And I say: I am still able to give… Age is a number that scares us, and we don’t know the reasons. How many helpless young men, and how many young old men… The power is within us, so let us open the doors for it.

The Trip

The story revolves around two young men who decide to leave their daily routines in search of a new adventure, sailing on a small boat to a new world full of exciting situations and interesting events.

Experience and quick wit play a major role in the events and course of the story. The story also attracts the reader and makes him search for solutions.

The Stairs

Friends gathered as usual in the palace of their wealthy friend (Ali Al-Halfawi), but the unexpected happened when their friend (Dina) disappeared, and they were forced to enter the forbidden area in the house, even to its owners since ancient times. Everyone who entered it did not go out, and he was only found in a few cases.

Where will their decision take them? Are they ready to face an unknown that has never occurred to them?

The Devil Also Knows The Truth

What if you woke up and suddenly discovered that the whole issue is nothing more than an experience ?! The life you live is just an experience?! What if you simply discovered that it was one of many experiences that you have gone through, but you do not remember! As Plato said, “Man is a fallen being full of forgetfulness…his only opportunity to learn…is to get rid of what separates him from seeing the truth! From looking at it, to discover while staring into her eyes that he has in fact arrived at the holy homeland after completing his journey. Which he came specially for.“ What if this is indeed the case?! As I mentioned to you, ‘Man is a forgetful being’, full of contradictions, pushing himself behind the veil of his body with his desires and pleasures of his own volition in fear of the truth, drowning himself in his hand, and killing himself in the end, then simply seeks mercy and forgiveness in the hope of a carefree life after death. My lord, I almost exploded in the wonder of the selfishness and the strange distortion that he enjoys. In fact, my ending was strange, but the strangest life I lived. In this novel I experienced details that you may not believe, but you can be sure that they happened.

The Black Mole

The loss of a person is like a rift in the heart that does not bleed until he returns. The heart and mind enter into a conflict and never stop until they get back what was lost, until life returns to the body that has become like a dry barren land. No matter how many years of our life have passed, things that remain in our memory keeps on hurting us, and even if the lost person returns, we can’t get back the lost years. We rejoice a little and grieve a lot but eventually, “What I want, and what you want, and God does what he wants.”

We will strive to move on, and be patient, we will try to soften our broken hearts.

Oh, my bereaved... Tell me, are you the lost person or me!

The Envious

The title of the story may invite pessimism, because the ‘eye’ or the ‘one with the evil eye’ usually brings nothing but harm to those around them due to the power of their eye. But… what if we imagined that someone was able to control it and started harnessing it in their service? When this idea came to me, I did not hesitate for a moment to turn it into a novel, because I grew up watching many famous series and programs that dealt with it in a comedic format. So, I thought of trying something different because we rarely see that on our screens.

Back In Time

Sometimes we search for happiness in things that people or close persons determine for us, and we forget what we want, and what makes us happy.

Everyone entered the cycle of deadly routine, grow up, enter university, get married, he must have children in order to grow up with him, if the child is a boy, it is better, but we want a daughter; To help her mother, the daughter must have a sister; To appoint her in the future, and the brother alone cannot face life, so let us have a second brother for him, we want a house, we want a car, and here people see that our life is complete, and during this period we forget what we want, and do we really deserve to achieve what we want? Or will we be afraid to get out of the fight against the deadly routine?

I wish we could go back in time, Maryam; So that we can live our beautiful days, enjoy it more, and I wish we had the ability to correct our choices.

Return To Death

The book sails in a series of short stories inspired by reality, dealing with real events that took place in different parts of the world and underwent drama and storytelling, as well as the expansion and excitement of the events, adding the writer’s touch to turning it into a literary work for different ages and segments. The stories tell a series of events of characters who have been subjected to unexpected situations and coincidences, changing their lives, and are tragic in nature. They move the reader from one world to another, with ends that may not satisfy them, but as a result, they mirror the reality in which we live. The places and names of the characters in the book are imaginary, and the stories were framed in a breathtaking drama that gives the reader an opportunity to delve into his imagination within contradictory worlds, searching for their real beings that they have lost between the two folds of time where they were cherished and valued before. I hope to enrich the reader’s experience by entering into their solitude to extend their understanding of literature. This simple attempt, which we are still groping through in the beginning of the road, seeking to join the ranks of our predecessors of the greatest authors and creators.

Faded Gardenia

Humanity has not experienced a period of time that did not suffer from anything but the frequency of sorrows; from wars in which lives were lost.This book tells the story of a woman named, Eleanor Macmillan, in the twentieth century, she led a quiet life in Prince Edward Island in the Canadian Kingdom, in the care of her brother and his family.She was helping everyone, big or small, male or female, old or young. She responded to an appeal that topped the newspapers in 1916 calling for the support of England after it launched the war on the German Empire to support the occupied France in a war called the “Great World War” due to the tense situation in various countries around the world.Witnessing massive destruction in all levels. Macmillan provided a helping hand, as usual, to those who needed it by joining the Canadian Army Medical Corps as a professional nurse, she performed her duty in France with a humanitarian and selfless spirit.

Inversion

A story that revolves around the vicissitudes of the world that change our entity, which step us out of our nature; the life is only a desperate attempt to salvation, and the perseverance to reunite inverted contradictory images in all of us. In the war of contradictions that we live in, we seek peace on the battlefield, seek integrity in the land of corruption, and sail towards the idealism through materialistic means. We breathe life from pain, are born of death but at the same time fear it. We should fear the death of consciousness, not the death of the body. It takes more than decades to know and revive ourselves. The time is running, and we don’t need to aggravate an already depleting heart.

Dead Uprising

The child seemed to be pining for questions and found Nabil interested and listening to him. He asked him, “Why all of this is happening? Are we evil or they are?” Nabil paused a little, then smiled at him… He told him, “You have a mind that is much older than your age… What is happening here now has happened constantly. Greed and hatred are always a motivation for someone to hate his brother, and even kill him. Even if you and I see it as pure evil, there are those who see it as absolutely good… It is the belief of man that completely control his actions and his life.”
