Suleiman
The Black Rhinoceros
He finally escaped the crater. For months Suleiman the Black rhino had been climbing the caldera at Ngorongoro to escape to the outside. Suleiman was one of only seven Black rhinoceros, all males, still living there.
His ranger Michael kept shooing him back to the crater floor. Totally frustrated, Michael chose to let Suleiman keep going this time. He grabbed his rifle and followed the rhino into the Serengeti.
They walked for days. Finally, the rhino dashed into a small wood. Shortly after, he emerged behind a lovely female and started guiding her homeward. Michael laughed. Nature knows!

Jason laughed. Ever since Theresa had stood herself up, she’d been inordinately proud. Now that she was starting to walk, she didn’t miss a chance to show off. When she tripped over the fire log sitting strangely by itself beside her sandbox Jason couldn’t help laughing at her startled expression.

The Warrior of Shanduhar
The day my sister was stolen from us, I swore I would either bring her home or kill myself for having failed. It was a mostly cloudless day in Shanduhar. Bracing gusts had swept through the oasis on and off since mid-morning prayers. Aria and I had been feeding the camels. Our younger brother Eran was charged with cleaning out the rain barrel or face the back of Mother’s hand. I ran to his side to help before the precious remaining water tumbled into the sand rather than into Mother’s clay jar.

I Found Success on YouTube. Then I Walked Away
The Beginner’s journey Being a successful creator on any platform takes a lot of work. You toil away in the early days hoping to find traction, you tweet into the void, write for hours every day to no audience, film videos, edit, and publish to get a handful of views. It’s brutal. If you’re a creator of any kind, you know what I’m talking about.

Dear Roy I always get involved scrolling through your imaginative offerings; even with "Screen Blurry Eyes" - But, I have to take offense to 'Suleiman' - as my Love and fabulous artist 'Terrilynn' used the 'Horny Beast' in my story "Pick your Battles" - But, I reckon we can share - Not Terrilynn but the Rhino - You GiT that! - With Pleasure - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community
"nature knows" 🤣🤣.. that was very funny. I thought for a second Michael would end up shooting him by accident or something.. just shows my dark mind 🤣🤣
Nature finds a way.
At first I was like 'Awww' and then I was like 'Ohhh'. Naughty naughty Suleiman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that ending sentiment, "Nature knows". So beautiful and such a heart warming story! Great work Roy!
