The following was a submission I put into a local writing competition where I was tasked with somehow retelling a classic myth or story under 1000 words. To do this I chose to retell the myth of Tantalus from Ancient Greece in a Wild West setting. Which explains why the ending seems a little... undercooked hehe.

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.

في ظل أخي by AmaniMohamed939
35 parts Ongoing
تدور القصة حول قوة رابطة الإخوة وكيف يمكن للحب بينهم أن يكون طوق النجاة في أوقات الشدة. عندما تواجه الأسرة حادثة كبيرة تغير حياتهم، تتحول العلاقات من حب وحنان إلى توتر وصراعات، وتُبرز القصة كيف يمكن للضغوط والأولويات أن تؤثر على النفوس وتُثقل القلوب دون أن يلاحظ أحد، وكيف يمكن أن يكون أقرب الناس إليك ابعدهم. ورغم القسوة والخيبات التي تفرقهم مؤقتًا، تُظهر القصة كيف أن وجود من يحبك بجانبك يمكن أن ينتشلك من اليأس، وكيف يكون للأمل النصيب الأكبر في رحلة التعافي. إنها قصة عن الألم، الكفاح، وإعادة بناء الجسور المهدمة بروح الحب والتسامح، الغفران، وتحمل المسؤولية، مع إبراز مشاعر الحب والخذلان والصراع بين الماضي والحاضر.
