Rola (a short story)

Rola was over the moon, on her way home out of the pub. She had had a great time- after a long day at work-seeing her friends, dancing with her fiancée, drinking and catching up with him. She hadn’t seen him in two days and she already missed him so much. She knew he loved her hair curly so she let all her brown hair cover her shoulders and almost half of her back; she didn’t put much make up on her white face except for some red lipstick and a simple black mascara around her blue eyes. She wore her shiny silk green blouse and regular black pants.

When she danced, she danced with all her heart. Let her curly waves fly all around her.

She always felt so alive when she was with her fiancée; how much she loved him, how happy and joyful he made her feel, like she never loved before.

She was taking her usual way home-she uses every chance she could take to use that road by the Nile; she loves that road, especially at night when the street lights were on. They make the street looks so shiny which matches the lights on the Nile reflected by the moon.

This night, the walk on the Nile was different; since she started her walk she felt like something is coming up, approaching her. It was a feeling she hasn’t felt in a very long time. Usually it is mixed with a sense of a burden that makes her feel 50 times heavier; but this time it was different, lighter, it made her feel, so peaceful that she smiled.

Rola now knew what that feeling was, she remembered it, and she couldn’t have been mistaken about it. She was so happy she felt that way, after such a very long time.

Waking up from her deep thoughts and memories, she tilted her head up and saw what she knew she would see. He was walking in her direction. He was getting so close to her, she smelled his perfume. It was different from the one he used to wear when they were together.

Now he was one step away from her, his shoulder was so close to hers that their hands could have easily touched. She knew he didn’t see her, but she was sure he felt her presence just as strong as she felt his; she knew they both felt one another. The moment their shoulders almost touched, was as if they connected on a different level, sharing the same thoughts and memories. They even shared the same peaceful feeling she had when he was approaching. That peaceful feeling that Rola knew what it meant.

After the connection was over, rola was a few feet away from him. That state of peace and joy was still inside her. She was so overwhelmed with it that she couldn’t help but spin around herself, twirl like a butterfly, emanating the vibes of happiness and joy to the whole world around her.

A letter from another planet

Dear Earthers,

Since you now live in a world where the bad guys are the good guys ,and the good guys are the bad guys.where the criminals are actually the heroes, and their names remains in your minds a lot longer than the heroes (as you knew them).

humanity has lost its way.starting to slowly burn,flame by flame it grows,taking over,consuming your life; and when will it stop?do you think its ever going to stop? between wars over the years, feuds, revolutions , conspiracies and a lot of brain washing. are you ever going to survive? more importantly, are you ever going to realize the truth?

Judaism , Christianity , Islam , Buddhism, sophism, baha`i , your Earth has too many religions don't you think? where did they all come from ? what are there origins ?

what about technology Earthers, the only thing that you seem to be using these days is your finger.all you ever do in your life is click on something, touch it, and you have what you want.and its going to get worse,you are going to be more and more lazy if you rely on technology in everything; soon and soon technology will diminish your minds,the only thing you have Earthers that keeps you going,soon it will be gone.you will be over by your own creation as your minds continue to improve the thing that will destroy you.

you need to get a grip Earthers and start opening your eyes, take a deep breath, remove those rose colored glasses that you have been always using to see everything around you and start realizing what is really going on in your planet.

this friendly letter from an alien friend who has been watching your planet for a very long time. you need to be careful Earthers because i'm hearing that the national army where i live is planning on taking over your planet.be careful !

The Rite (part 1)

Good,Evil,Faith and Religion,are issues that the new 2011 movie called "The Rite" talks about."Micheal kovak",a christian young man barely 28 years old,lived with his father and worked with him in the shrouding business (mortuary owner).they wash the dead,dress them in there good gowns, do there hair,sometimes get their nails done,and put them in their highly polished and very elegant coffins,preparing them for there burial,micheal-when he was a kid- once saw his father whispering in a dead body`s ear while doing her hair something like "its ok,the pain is gone now,its over".later micheal finds out that the woman his father was speaking to was his mother.his father then brings him in,where she was and ask his son to start chanting the prayers for his dead mother,forcing him not to be afraid,forcing his son thats its ok.

micheal grows up with this memory in his mind,along with too many other memories about his early journey with death,god....faith.

as a descendant of a family who has all worked in this business,he was obligated to follow the legacy and work in the same old business,micheal later joins a seminary school,not really convinced what he`s doing there,not even sure he believes in it.filled with a massive package of doubts,micheal types his resignation letter from school on his laptop and sends it to the principal (father mathew)

father mathew decides to have "the talk" with micheal after seeing his email,sensing that the boy is lost in confusion and mislead by evil in this world,he decides to help him in a highly unusual way when he asks him to join a secret Christian organization that gives fathers and nun the necessary skills to excoriate the devil from within the people it possessed.

"Exorcism",removing evil from people using the holy bible,water and the holy cross.a ritual that has been going probably since the beginning of time,done by fathers to save people who are believed to be possessed by the Devil,and only fathers and nuns can remove evil from within you...they can purify you,make you good again.

micheal flies to rome to start the training program for the exorcism.relating everything he hears or learns to science and facts, refuse to believe that these people are really possessed by the devil and that its just psychological disorders and these people should see a shrink.again being the outcast in the family, his professor sends him to an old friend who feels might be able to help micheal considering that this old friend is an exorcist,but he has got a mind that thinks outside the box,so he and micheal might get along well and micheal would learn from the lesson form him just fine.

و عجبي

احيانا اشعر بأنن اتخذ منهجا غريبا ف الحياة. منهج "الناس الرايقة اللي يتضحك على الطول ". كم غريب هذا المنهج على الناس, بعضهم يشعرني بأنني كائن من المريخ, لا يعرفونه, و لا يفهمن عما يتحدث. و البعض الاخر بأنني الملك على هذه الارض و كأنهم على اتم الاستعداد. للتضحية بأي شىء كي يتعلمون طريقة الحياة بهذا المنهج.

و في بعض الاحيان يشعرني هذا المنهج بأني انسان مغيب. و على الرغم من ذلك, فانا لا ارى نفسي كذلك ابدا.

نعم اعترف باني لازلت اعرف القليل جدا عن الحياة و لا اعرف كيفية التصرف في معظم المواقف و بأن حياتي محدودة, لكن لا, لست انسان مغيب.

انني انسان حالم, يحاول ان يسعى بكل ما يعرف ان يصل الى الحياة التي يتمناها, الحياة في بلد الاحترام والتقدير و الانسانية, حياة الا تلوث و الا كوسة.

و كي أؤكد بأنني لست انسان مغيب, و اني اعرف صعوبة الحياة و الوصول الى ما تريد. فأني لدي حلم اخر ف حالة ان لم يتحقق الحلم السابق.

في اسوا الاحوال,ان اضطر بي الحال الى البقاء داخل الاراضي المصرية (لان الحياة ابدا لن تكون كالحلم الاول داخل مصر). فعلي بالمال, بالكثير و الكتير من المال, و الكثير من المال ايضا.

هذا هو السبيل الوحيد للعيش داخل هذه البلد عيشة جيدة في الوقت الراهن.

و في خلال محاولة تحقيق ذلك الحلم, ربما سيتحتم علي الامر ان اتخلى عن كياني, عن مبادئي و عن نفسي. اسمي هذا الحلم بالحلم الاسود, الغامض, الذي يجذبك الى داخله, الي الدوامة السوداء, و بداخلها توجد تلك المفرمة.........اكلة لحوم البشر. و يالها من مفرمة.

و حتى تظهر البشائر اي حلم سوف يتحقق, يبقى الوضع على ما هو عليه. و حتي يحين اللقاء لكم مني اطيب و ارق التحيات و تصبحون على خير.

life,it is full of ups and downs in everything.its got everything you need to success and everything that would make you fail.

life, it has got love,hate,pain,anger,ignorance,happiness,sadness, difficulties,people who try to find love,an people who try to find hate.

why does people tend to be against a thing so badly? they hate it,get angry at it.use all their nervous and emotional energy to completely express how much they are against this thing.they go on streets protests,holding signs,throwing flyers and shouting with all they might to prove their point.

is it worth it? does a person really want to be so exhausted,so consumed by this anger that he or she spend such a chuck of their time in life expressing those negative feelings?

as i said before life is full of contradictory things;so why do you spend so much time hating something,adding more anger and sadness and negativity in your life when you can spend this same time appreciating something?loving it,looking intently at it..like you are seeing it for the first time every time you see it , with new eyes,new feelings....good ones.

some people also tend to be very judgmental.they think they have the right to throw judgments at people,telling them if they were wrong or right (according to their very own personal point of view).the thing is,they are just human beings that god has created,just like he created those they were judging.

god created us to live,explore life,maybe try figure it out,see the point of his creation...think about it..and him.

another thing about god,he created each and every single person on earth...in a constant searching for love state.

so there is absolutely no point in spending a second in our lives hating anything,judging anybody,because judging is only god`s job.....and court judges too :D.

Evil

i have seen evil

i have lived it,

he is everywhere,

i saw his eyes

they are more than two,he has so many eyes and they were all looking at me

he has been around all through my life,watching it; making sure it goes as he planned it for me.

watching,waiting,like the spectator of the show,making ME the spectator of my own life too,it was his master plan all along and they all served him wright,his recruiters.served their master with plain obedience and the dedicated desire to corrupt,to destroy.

and now,after his mission is accomplished he is still there,looking at me.i feel all his eyes looking at me now,gazing with a huge interest;he is so glad that he ruined me;feeling so proud and egoistic that his pride might trick him into showing himself to me,revealing his identity along with his true nature;EVIL, hideous,ugly,soulless, controlled by emotions.only the bad since they are all what he`s got inside him.

his body is like red and black colored.with wounds and bruises everywhere,his eyes are so vibrant with red thats you`d think for a second that they were on fire,his nose is pointed out toward you like its saying that you are the one i need to corrupt now (it says that to everyone).his teeth are coming straight out of wide dark red lips, like all he feeds on is his own blood coming out of his lips,caused by his own fangs,his own pain.

he is just here watching his victory.watching himself after he got the best of me.watching me writing about him with sorrow and desperation.he won.
