Ahmed’s Journey Through the Time Port part2
Ahmed's body had transformed into the shape of the strange creatures—humanoid yet distinct, with larger eyes and slender, almost weightless frames that seemed to float effortlessly in the void. There was no noise, no audible speech, yet Ahmed could somehow hear them. His mind translated their messages instinctively. He was learning how to think, communicate, and exist like them. It felt surreal that words were forming in his mind without being spoken. Instead, he sensed vibrations or frequencies resonating in the surrounding space. Curious, he asked them how this was possible. "We do not speak with mouths, tongues, or words as you do," they explained. "Our communication is based on thoughts, which our minds transmit through networks of energy. This connection allows us to perceive the thoughts of others, provided they wish to share them, without the need for sound or a common language. Even if we come from different regions or entirely separate worlds, our communication remains seamless, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers." Ahmed’s journey into this new world had just begun. He soon realized that these beings possessed advanced knowledge of physics and biology, enabling them to manipulate the fundamental structures of atoms and molecules in astonishing ways. Their mastery of these sciences allowed them to alter their forms and adapt effortlessly to any environment they encountered. Intrigued, Ahmed had once asked them about their origins, and they had replied: "We were once like you—dependent on food, water, sleep, and other basic necessities of life. Our civilizations, much like yours, experienced conflicts over resources and sought dominance over one another. But as our scientific understanding grew, we uncovered the secrets of atomic structures and learned to harness pure, natural energy. This energy became the foundation of our existence, liberating us from the constraints of agriculture, industry, and physical space. We no longer wage wars or compete for survival. Now, we live in harmony, moving freely across the cosmos without limitations. The infinite abundance of clean cosmic energy sustains us, present everywhere, spanning the vastness of the universe." Ahmed was filled with a mix of awe and excitement. He pondered the possibilities: Could humanity ever reach such a level of advancement? Could they master atomic structures, reshape their existence, and transcend physical limitations? As these thoughts swirled in his mind, one of the beings asked him: "Would you like to explore more of our worlds?" Without hesitation, Ahmed responded, "Yes, I want to know more—everything, if possible." In an instant, he felt something envelop him, an unseen force surrounding and immersing him completely. Yet, he experienced no fear or anxiety—only an overwhelming sense of curiosity. Moments later, Ahmed found himself in an entirely new realm. Strange beings roamed the landscape, while plants floated freely in the air. Structures radiated with colors beyond anything he had ever seen. Everything around him had shifted at an unimaginable speed, making him feel as though he were inside an endless dream. But then, in that very moment, a familiar sensation washed over him—he felt at home. Suddenly, Ahmed was back in his house, seated among his family. He had no idea how it had happened, yet he instinctively understood: he now had the ability to traverse between both worlds. The knowledge he had acquired from the beings had granted him the power to shift between realities. Whenever he thought of their world, he would find himself there, and whenever he longed for home, he would return. But he knew this was only the beginning. Countless worlds awaited him, filled with mysteries yet to be unveiled. Ahmed felt an exhilarating anticipation for what the future held—for himself and for humanity. To be continued...

Slay
OK, look, the woman was an absolute witch. I slaved away doing every-bloody-thing while she and her precious brats sat on their flabby arses. It was always, Oh, Cindy, could you just... Just do this. Just do that. Just. Just. Just. It drove me mad. Drizella smirked in front of my ruined dress, hiding something behind her back. I've always had beef with Drizella because she's so snooty and she thinks she's so much better than me. I yanked on her arm, and there it was: the knife she hacked up my mother's beautiful dress with. I snatched it from her, and swivelled it to point it at her. Just to scare her, you know? To see the look on her gormless face. The feeling that swelled up in me, though... filling me up to my scalp and my fingertips... such a rush. She was crying and wailing, and that rush took over and it was like my hand darted out of its own accord. Slash! Whoops! A spray of blood across me and the once-lovely dress. Anastasia burst in right at that moment, probably 'cuz of all the screaming, and started making a noise of her own. Oh, she was wailing and shrieking like you wouldn't believe. So annoying. So I did her, too. This was fire, even better than when I cut the tail off that mangey cat. I could feel the blood pumping and tingling all over. I was dizzy with it. The witch came in to find out what all the yelling had been about, and she found out alright. The look on her face, when she saw those slags she loved so much, just lying there on the floor like rubbish someone dropped... and all that blood... She went white, really white. Her mouth dropped open, and she staggered like she was going to fall over. Even better, how her eyes looked right before they went flat and glazed over. Literally. Like glass... That was satisfying. That's when the Blood Fairy appeared. Her hair was bright red, like a tomato, and so was her dress, and her lipstick, and the rope-like veins in her see-through, insect-y wings. "Make a wish, kid," she said. "Make it good. There's a lot of magic here, but we have to act fast, while it's warm and fresh." I think I stood gawping at her for a good few seconds. She magicked a black business card from her cleavage, or that's how it looked, and handed it to me. I stared down at it. I must have looked stupid. Her name was printed on it in red: Carmine. "Chop, chop kid," she said. "Not that you need any encouragement in that area. What do you want? Name it." "Honestly," I told her, twisting the bit of card between my fingers, "I just want to go to the ball." She lifted one eyebrow. (I wish I could do that.)

Ahmed’s Journey Through the Time Portal
On a bright spring day, as trees adorned themselves with blossoms and the Nile flowed gently, whispering tales of time, Egypt stood as a breathtaking canvas of history. Temples, churches, and mosques coexisted in harmony, a masterpiece crafted by the Divine. Amid this beauty, "Ahmed," a seasoned seventy-year-old engineer, embarked on a journey to Luxor and Aswan with his family. He took a train from Alexandria to Cairo, and from there, they boarded a cruise ship, setting off on a voyage through history and civilization. With his deep engineering knowledge and cultural awareness, Ahmed savored every moment, marveling at the details of the temples and ruins while sharing his reflections with his family. Fluent in both spoken and written Arabic and English, he found an extra layer of discovery in interacting with foreign travelers. As the journey began, joy filled the air, and everyone reveled in the stunning scenery. Each night, as noise faded and the Nile grew still, Ahmed would step onto the deck to embrace the serenity of the night merging with dawn. But one night, he noticed something strange—a mysterious light shimmering on the horizon. At first, he dismissed it as city lights reflecting on the water, yet he continued to see it even when they were far from any urban areas. Not dwelling on it much, he attributed it to optical illusions or fatigue. However, upon reaching Luxor and spending the day exploring temples, Ahmed maintained his nightly ritual of sipping his favorite Saidi coffee in the hotel’s lobby, enjoying the tranquility. One night, the light reappeared—this time clearer than ever. Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he chose to remain silent, not wanting to alarm his family. Then came the moment that changed everything. At sunset, as he admired the hieroglyphs of an ancient temple, captivated by the grandeur of Egyptian civilization, an extraordinary sight caught his eye. On the horizon, amid the twilight hues, a luminous object, larger than the full moon, moved with an uncanny precision and speed—rushing straight toward him. He wanted to flee, but an unseen force held him in place. Within moments, he found himself lifting off the ground, soaring as if he had wings, before being enveloped by an enigmatic presence and transported among beings unlike any he had ever seen. Surprisingly, fear was not his dominant emotion—rather, it was awe. Strangely, when he attempted to communicate, these beings did not use words, yet he understood them perfectly. Even more astonishing, when he looked down at himself, he realized his appearance had transformed, resembling theirs. In confusion, he asked, "How did this happen? How can I understand you without learning your language? Why has my form changed?" They responded, telling him that his journey with them would be long, but he would not be severed from his world; instead, he would remain connected in a way unknown to humankind. Then they added, "It is time to reveal one of the great secrets of our civilization..." This is just the beginning... Stay tuned for the upcoming chapters of Ahmed’s journey into a realm beyond imagination.
