Stories with love

J’ai écrit cette nouvelle dix ans auparavant. Quand j’étais jeune, j’avais l’habitude de courir le long de la plage. Un jour, j’ai vu un jeune avec des béquilles. Je me suis arrêté et je l’ai salué. Cette scène m’a impressionné et le souvenir a duré jusqu’à présent. A ceux qui se dévouent pour mener une vie décente malgré le handicap, je dédie cette nouvelle.

Escribí este relato diez años atrás. Cuando era joven, solía correr a lo largo de la playa. Un día, vi un joven con muletas. Paré y lo saludé. Esta escena me impresionó y el recuerdo duró hasta hoy. A aquellos que se empeñan por llevar una vida decente a pesar del hándicap, dedico este corto relato.

I wrote this story ten years ago. When I was young, I used to run along the beach. One day, I saw a boy with arm sticks. I stopped running and saluted him. The scene impressed me and the memory lasted in my mind up till now. To those who struggle to live a decent life in spite of the handicap, I dedicate this short story.

This audiobook is an excerpt from my first novel ‘An unexpected Intruder’, which is, in fact, the first part of my next novel. It has been a series of seven books so far. Self-publishing is a painful adventure. However, it can be beneficial if one has a humane message to deliver. Life is a game with strict rules to abide by. The boy’s voice is by my almost five years old son Akram. I used an electronic reader because I live in a building and noises from inside and outside make it difficult for me to get good recording results.
