《Keeping It Halal》Nothing But A Memory
Advertisement
Well, time passed and Marwan and I travelled the world, had a couple of kids (so did Dalia, lollll) and life went smoothly. Marwan and I had been married for 14 years now and I was 37 and he was 38. We had 14 year old twins; Ziad and Zainab, 10 year old Omar, 6 year old Amani (SHE'S SUCH A TROUBLE MAKER), and 2 year old twins, Zayn and Zaki. Actually, tbh they're ALL trouble makers😫! Right now, the whole fam (including family member's kids and spouses) were over at our house. Tala was now 23 and she's too focused on her studies to get herself a man😂 and Ahmed is 21 and still does those annoying pranks; let's just say that the child in him over rules him lol. "I got the chicken out of the oven." I tell Marwan, who's cleaning some dishes. "Thanks Baby." He kisses my cheek and hugs me. "Marwan you're all soapy!" I exclaim. "Hey Khalto!" Dalia's daughter Masaa, who's Tala's best friend and she's the same age which makes it so cute says, hugging me. "Can I please have a carrot?" She asks. "Sure." I laugh. Ahhhh life couldn't be better!
------------------------------------------------------------
"So Haboba (grandma in Arabic) how many years have you been married?" Asked Shaymaa, my grandchild. "Oh Shaymaa, too many years to count!" I laughed. "So what have you learned from this story?" I asked. "To always catch a man when you can?!" Lena, my other granddaughter said. "Oh Mama, you're telling them THIS story?! They're too young!" Laughed Zainab. "But Mama." Her daughters whinned. "So? What did you two learn from the story?" I asked. "TO KEEP IT HALAL!"

The First Corridor of Old Works
But what is it, really? Old Works. They say, some do anyway, or would, if they still had tongues - it's a dream. That it's a million year old mystery connecting three planets. Some, yet other, anonymous entities, charge that it's a structure, more accurately, an architecture - a quest, even, made from, and through - corridors. Pretty inarguably, for one thing, it's a maze. Even some pronounce, if you can understand those currently vomiting blood, that it's a corporation, and yet others - the brave ones – and dead - say it's... near death. Or that it is. Death. - Death itself. But that dark thing on the horizon, that thing emerging to replace the only system we... know. - Whatever it is it couldn't be the end, of everything, could it?

And the Hero Dreamt, all those slaves - to maintain that structure's even functioning, have to - at all... they dream him. They literally dream him. But that thing, from whence, who knows, arriving? What kind of sick demonic mind could even - But it can only be psychosis - Or possession. Reducing all of reality to some kind of – what would you call it? A Game? A video... joke? And that half-Cyclops, that beauty – what does she have growing – beneath her supernatural genitals? A game for him? A game/a dream; a – world? Or just Old Works. And this Wound in reality – that our writer near-died putting inside her. What is it anyway? And what reality does it bring with it. This demon or God. Through the corridors; lattices of smoke and shadows and colours; dungeons; and supernatural organs; the labyrinths made from dreams... and flesh. - What happens when they face that Wound – staring the absolute. right. in. them? - Through - What happens to all us... slaves... then? But at the end of the hallway, you see it there, I say you do, that turning - It's only the First Corridor of Old Works.
