“Act Normal ” by Faleha Hakim

Maya stared out the window, elongated and neatly dissected into eight squares by the mahogany wood. Her chin rested on her hands and her little breaths made the surrounding skin humid. ‘It is just so vast. The world. To consider, I am just a tiny blood clot.’ Her train of thoughts took flight, ‘It is I who is sitting here; somebody would be petting their dog, somebody would be doing their homework, somebody would be buyi...

“The Longing Mother” by Faleha Hakim

Submitted to Contest #68

Gradually…..slowly….her eyes shined. The wet sparkle of her eyes seemed glitter in the dim light. Her beauty was still shadowed by the influence of darkness but the steep edged jewels which draped her body, marked their presence with any ray of light which passed by. A sound evolved.

The chilling breeze of December had struck the city. The vision was pale and smoke rose from every building. Even the fingers could not seek shelter inside the gloves as the frost easily penetrated. “When will our turn come, Mother?” Karen lifted up her head and faced a woman with red cheeks and shining eyes.

“An uncertain Hero” by Faleha Hakim

Submitted to Contest #48

“From many pieces of earth do they make themselves strong” Grandma used to say. These words are imprinted inside my head in such a stirring way that I cannot get over it. Her stories still beat in my heart. Power, heroism, honor is what she used to start with. Well, these are just fake, heroes of my childhood; I’d laugh at it now. Those who build up my memories are just fictional. Few moments escaped and then came a beep...
