The Borg kingdom
“Come back before 9, okay?” “10…final offer!” I replied, pushing my luck a little. My mom looked at me for a split second. I thought I was done for. “Okay, but just because it’s your birthday.” she said. I saw a half smile as she turned away.

Artemis Fowl
I have written about my journey to writing a few times, and usually I would mention the Harry Potter series, as they were the first books I had read (for entertainment, of course we have all read textbooks in school). I read them in Arabic at first, and then they helped me learn English when I moved to the UK.

First Challenge, First Win
I’ve been reading stories since I was young, probably early teenage years. It was just a coincidence that my father bought a Harry Potter collection for entertainment on a train when we visited Egypt for a holiday (vacation), but since then I was hooked in the immersive world these stories can create. I continued reading and even learned English while reading these books after coming to live in the UK.

Predestination (Movie)
The main character, played by Ethan Hawk, is trying to navigate the pitfalls of time travel. He is instrumental to the plot of the movie. That is to say, he IS the plot of this movie. The convoluted story was executed brilliantly and will have your head spinning in awe.

Personality or Character?
When I was in high school, there was a community club in a nearby neighbourhood that ran on Saturday mornings. The club aimed at engaging with kids in the community and giving them meaningful and fun experiences. A friend who was a long-standing attendee in this club (he even learned how to play chess there) invited me one day to join. As a high school kid, I had nothing better to do on a Saturday morning, so I decided to join in.
