Stories Listed by Date (page 1 of 1)The Painful Memory of Arifa (story 1 of 10)Her name was Arifa and she was tow times older than I. Arifa’s brother Mamoon was my age, my best friend and our families had close friendship. In our strict religious society it is impossible for a female to stay at a home where there non-related males also staying. But Arifa was allowed to stay with us, some times at nights too. She was uneducated but good storyteller. All the kids liked her fairy tales and stories of princes and princess and the old kings. I liked her for her stories and h... They Call Me The Wanderer (story 2 of 10)I’ve often read about the life of a nomad, and the writers who write those stories always make it sound more glamorous than it actually is. I’ve wandered, and wondered what I’ve wanted to be for years now. I tried going to fine arts, and learning to paint. I didn’t just do any old fine arts program, though, I got accepted to one of the most prestigious programs in the country (the country, in my case, is Canada). That’s kind of the way I’ve always been, always taking everything a little m... Life Lessons from Lady (story 3 of 10)It’s funny the things that ultimately shape your life. A simple phrase that someone utters to you in childhood can be meaningless at the time, but stick with you and ultimately impact your life. Sometimes a simple action leads to something that you will never forget. Often when life-altering things happen, you don’t even know it until way down the road. Arson (story 4 of 10)I'd never been interested in guys. Mostly because the ones I knew were--idiots, for a lack of a better word. I had never had a crush on a guy, not one who wasn't in the books I read anyway (I know, that's pathetic). I knew I would fall in love one day. Looks weren’t important to me. I had learned that simply because a guy was hot enough to melt a glacier was not a reason, much less a good reason, for loving him. Besides, most of the hot guys I knew were egotistical, immature, cheating wimps.... I'm With the Band (story 5 of 10)I began my first year of junior high without my two best friends. They had both moved away within the same month over the summer. Over the first few weeks I had virtually no friends at all and ducked from one lunch table to another, being juggled by groups of classmates who I considered peers, but not friends. I was lonely and began to criticize myself mercilessly. The other girls had small faces, I noticed. They had shoulders that were angular beneath their tank tops. Their legs were s... Again (story 6 of 10)It’s almost like a typical romance movie. You know, how one of them is leaving on a train, and they hug for the last time, and the train pulls them away from each other’s lives. 24 Hour Service (story 7 of 10)As soon as I woke up, I knew I was somewhere where I wasn't supposed to be. Scared Straight (story 8 of 10)“Okay class,” my chemistry teacher announced one day, “listen up. Today instead of a lecture we’re all going to an assembly, where we’ll hear about the perils of drinking and driving.” A Year Too Late (story 9 of 10)I wish I could say this is all a lie.... just some stupid teen drama I made up... but I cant. This is real life, and it's 100% not made up. Let me just start this story by saying.... I Apoligize, Becky, after all these years.... (story 10 of 10)We got to proudly wear our game jerseys for whatever sport we were playing in junior high school, so a couple of us had our baseball jerseys on one day in the spring of 8th grade, standing out from the crowd and feeling cocky. At lunch we sat side by side at long folding tables, on metal fold up chairs, a pretty standard arrangement which is probably what you would see in a school lunchroom even today.
