Unlikely Path
Discovering a Hidden Secret
Fear immobilizes.
Only wide-eyes exposed beyond my tightly gripped sleeping bag. Years searching for BigFoot, and now I hear its unwelcoming beastly sounds closing in. I hope just to survive the night.
Suddenly, unbearable weight presses me down as I sink DEEP into the soil. Escaping clenched teeth, its drool hits my face.
Overwhelming fear leads to unconsciousness.

I'm stirred awake by soft, luminescent light. The sky has a lid, as though I'm trapped under a bowl. All the mythological creatures roam freely, occasionally disappearing into portals.
I now understand why they are rarely seen.
Hollow Earth.

The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.

At the beginning of Ramadan, I received a request from someone to write a story about his horror experience. There is a condition requested: the names in the story must be disguised and some parts must be omitted in order to avoid unwanted things. After considering everything, I agreed to write the story. But because of a lot of busyness, I was only able to write it after Eid.
