"Nothing but net," Hodan Yassin shouted, smiling and pumping her fist in the air, after making yet another slam dunk. The Gatineau University women's Basketball Team were absolutely creaming their rivals, Dwyer College. It was an all-Quebec showdown between two of the top women's College Basketball Teams in all of Quebec inter-Collegiate sports and the Gatin...
In 2017, the entire world was quite shocked upon finding out that Libyan savages were abducting Black migrants who hoped to cross into Europe by sea and selling them as slaves. Africans and others around the world were outraged, but they needn't be surprised. After all, the Arabs have a long and cruel history of mistreating Africans, in spite of their claims...
Ron took Fudaki, Rumiko and Ishi to Heathrow the next morning. At departures, Rumiko held Ishi's hand out and helped her wave goodbye to Ron. Ron waved back. Fudaki shook his hand warmly as they went into the terminal. Ron had liked Fudaki. He hadn't connected much to Rumiko because of the language barrier, but he thought the world of Ishi. He was sorry to s...
For those narrow-sighted people who simply don't believe in monsters and demons, I offer one simple word: Tuesday. For me, Tuesday's utter vapidity has grown into a more fearsome creature than any long-toothed beastie my subconscious has ever concocted. Monday might represent the depressing beginning of the work week, but when you have a blisteringly boring...
"There is a certain organized chaos in this life that we lead, and that's what makes it beautiful," Oscar Basing said to himself as he sat on the front porch, reflecting on all the strange things that had happened to him lately. Sipping on his ice tea, Oscar looked at the sprawling sea of greenery that filled the landscape, everywhere he looked. This was Bos...
The things a man does when he's bored, man. Honestly, I'm not proud of what I've done. My name is Abdirashid "Rashid" Yussuf. I was born in the City of Toronto, Ontario, to a Somali immigrant father and Hispanic mother from the Republic of Colombia. My parents, Ali Yussuf and Ramona Ramirez got divorced in the third summer of my life. No, I'm not going to go...
Allah's wonders will never cease, and every day I urge all my friends, whether fellow Muslims or our fellow People of the Book, the Christians and Jews, to thank the Most High for His blessings. How else would you explain how, a year ago, I was a cleaner at a business office and now I'm married to the owner's son? He's a wonderful man who embraced Islam to b...
There is no underage sex in my story. Ahmad was a thirty-three years old single Egyptian man, living alone in Old Cairo. He was a secular, believing in Deism and Western civilization values. And he disliked Theocratic Abrahamic Terrorist nations like Saudi Entity KSA and Zionist Entity, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Erdogan's and Justice and Development...
Continued from Chapter 2: "Thank you for your service," rang empty whenever someone mindlessly said that to him when seeing his dog tags hanging from his neck. To him, that phrase sounded too much like, "Thank you and have a nice day." He'd give them a stern look that made them afraid. "Thank you for my service?" Just as angry as he was violent, that's al...
If you're Somali, and happen to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, it's probably a good idea to keep it to yourself. Well, if you want to live, that is. Sometimes, I wonder what brings more pain into my complex life, my sexual orientation or, ahem, the other thing. That which marks me as different from the rest of humanity. What am I talking about? I'll get to tha...
