    About this ebook

    Bismillah

    ‘Finally!” shouts Maria.
    “Where have you been?! You’ll ruin everything!”
    “Maria, calm down. She’s here now. Back off.” Drew eyes her up and down. Sharp twist in his brow.
    She puffs her cheeks and walks away.
    “That girl needs a real attitude adjustment. Perhaps a whole new personality.” Drew removes his hand from Kimberly’s and lets go of her arm.
    “She’s worried. This is important to all of us. That’s all.” Kimberly smiles sincerely.
    “Sure, Kim. Always covering for everyone.” He shakes his head.
    “Any way, here’s your position. Remember, twenty paces and you’ll be in the centre of the stage.”
    He kisses her on her cheek softly.
    “Break a leg.”

    InshaAllah

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Zoe cracks the curtain in the bay window and watches as he bounces from one foot to another in the cold. Tap, tap, tap, he goes at the letterbox. But she shouldn’t even let him in. He’s trouble. He throws his arms out and shouts through the glass: “S

      The Blind Dates

      Mar 15, 2021

      I spot him immediately when I walk into the bar. He smiles at me like he knows me, despite the fact this is a blind date and we’ve never met before. Nerves take hold of my body and my hands begin to tremble as I approach him. “Hi,” he says. “Hi, um,
