I have to confess that I wrote 'The Tramp'. It's the first time I have written a story since I left school over 25 years ago - so this was quite exciting for me! I wrote it simply as it came into my head and only tweaked minor things thereafter.

I voted for you!!! Lonesome figure, I was :haha:

Touching story, dearest glo, I know you've written that the story simply popped into your head but did any of it happen to you? I mean, did any of the experiences occur in your life? Or to any of your acquaintances?

:D

25 years ago? I did not exist. What kind of stories did they used to write and what type of equipment did they use, a quil pen? Or were stories designed in the brain and then memorized?...was the story written/memorized in the german language?

Congratulations, brother Muezzin. I thought yours was the best story and I voted accordingly. :bravo:

I have really enjoyed reading all your stories and have been impressed (and put to shame) by the standard and detailed efforts by the other entries. Next year I'll know what I am up against! ;D

Thank you also to those who have made comments and given constructive criticism. Very helpful!

And of course thanks to Yanal for keeping us organised. :thumbs_up

well done sis Glo. It was a good story. differnet ppl write in different ways. Some write the story as they think of it - or rather make it up as they write (I'm that sort) and then make a few changes here and there. While others plan a plot outline and use that to write the story. and still others have to think of the whole story before they write it. It's best to know which method works best for you.

I know you did. Thank you! It would have been a tiny bit depressing not to receive any vote. :exhausted

The story is a combination of real events and my imagination.

There was a young homeless guy outside our local store for some months a couple of years ago. He did not have a dog, but he did disappear and I haven't seen him since.

I tried to reflect in my story how it made me feel to see him outside the store every evening and how it challenged my perceptions.
We did get chatting at times, although never to the degree as I described in the story ...

I now support a Winternight Shelter project, where local churches open their doors overnight to homeless people during the coldest winter months to offer shelters, warmth, safety, food and company. I guess that triggered my memories.

WOW!!!

I had an inkling it was you even though I wrote Endymion as one of my guesses!

The story had a beautiful meaning and I really liked reading it! Did any of it happen in your life? Or did you experience the revelation that Aisha found once reading the letter?

:D
 
Actually I and Glo lost.

;D
Snorry story was too short (sorry English is not my the first language and The Tramp wasn´t Islamic).

:p

Next time we will win, Snorry and Glo!

It was sort of a true story well some parts of it.

I guess I did n I guess that's the reason y I added it in. I wrote that story wen something was gng on InshaAllah will send u a pm you'll know.

Wen Eva I write a story i usually look around n write abt stuff that's gng on n wen I write abt it I kinda a feel better n u know what I kinda learn from it too.

The reason y I wrote this story is that well I've been searching for Allah's love for a long long time n this is what I learnt n I wanted ppl to learn sumfin frm that story.

I'm so sorry I srsly feel v bad I should have taken out time n checked it before entering.

Remember me in Ur Dua's :)
