In this life, you only need to look carefully

Hello is a collection of short stories, some are travel literature, poems, biography, or even daily contemplations crafted in the form of fictional short stories. So, let's say it is a collection of short semi-stories. What ties these stories together is the simple word hello, all stories must end with hello. It may seem counterintuitive to use an opening word as a closing word! But, do you believe that the end always means the end?

Hello is about life, friendship, love, loneliness, alienation, hope, death, war, and more. It's more about me, my friends, humans, and all these simple and beautiful things around me that I had been ignoring for years. You may find pieces of yourself in some of these stories too, who really knows?

The plan: I'm starting this project in 2024, I hope the number of stories will be around 20. Every two or three months, I'll try to write a story in Arabic and translate it to English using my limited skills. Then, I'll have a discussion session with anyone of my native English-speaking friends who is interested in giving me comments to improve my translation. Then, both versions will be uploaded. Sounds totally unprofessional I know!

Let me know if you are interested in participating in this unprofessional mission for the current In Progress stories and becoming one of those native English-speaking friends, I’d love your help. Free coffee

are guaranteed, do not worry! Hopefully, we can publish Hello someday
