An Adaptation to Chaucer's Canterbury tales- The Pardoner's tale. It was an assignment I was given in my Literature and Composition class.
An old Native American women tells her grandchildren a story about the Cardinal, the Crow, and the Sparrow and how each were destroyed by envy. She tells this tale in hopes that they will learn the lesson well and not be given to envy and learn to live with what they have and to, more importantly, LOVE what the have.

Erkenci Kuş | Keşke
The story was special. The legend was powerful. There were moments or story lines I desperately wished for, and moments that at times seemed small but were so important to discover and delve into. This is a book of these moments that I wanted to explore with you all. I hope you will join me on that journey.
Erkenci Kuş: Broken Promises
Snippets of alternate outcomes in the lives and enduring love story of Can Divit and Sanem Aydin. When I started out with this story, I only intended to loosely base the 'short piece' on the events in Bolum (Episodes) 17 & 18 however, I got such positive feedback, I decided to stretch it out a bit. I'm still unsure how far I will stretch it but so far, I'm enjoying writing it and will keep going till I run out of steam. I can't think of any show/movie that I've watched in recent times to which I have reacted as I did when I watched Erkenci Kuş. The characters hooked their claws into me and wouldn't let go. I rooted for Sanem and Can; cried and laughed with them; railed at and cursed their detractors and finally rejoiced over their reunion. However, the ending was so rushed. After all the angst we were put through with their relationship, I felt robbed of an extended happily-ever-after. What we were given was too short. I hope to right that wrong, amongst others, with this story. Though I only watched the show in Jan/Feb 2023, I have since rewatched it countless times. There were certain parts of the plot which wound me up so much so this is me writing what I wished had happened. Enjoy!مكتمِلة
AA's Second Chance.
"Where There Is Love, There Is Pain" "Can love happen twice with the same person?" Letting go of someone you love is never easy, and the scars left behind can be deep. .....................🩵 she asked, "What's special today?" "Our 4-year anniversary," I said, my voice gentle, as if saying it aloud would remind her of the love we shared. Oh, I forgot," she muttered, Will you be my girlfriend again, my moon? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? I want to spend my life with you, to have children, to grow old together. Will you be my wife?" Silence. Her tears fell freely now, but they weren't tears of happiness. Her face was pale, her body trembling. I stood up, panic rising in my chest. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be your lover anymore. I'm scared of becoming your wife. I don't want to bring a child into a world where they'll suffer. Let's break up, Abhay." ......................🩵 (Optional to read) The distance from a heart you cherish creates an unbearable ache, leading you to act as if you've forgotten them. Yet, that separation doesn't just distance two souls; it transforms one, giving birth to a new identity shaped by pain. A sweet soul can become arrogant, an excited heart may turn into a depressed one, hiding behind a mask of false smiles. This is the story of two souls-Jeevana and Abhay-whose love was shattered by fear. Four years later, they find themselves on opposite paths. Jeevana, now a talented artist, conceals her sorrow with a smile, while Abhay has become a successful but cold businessman in the gaming world. Fate intervenes, bringing them face to face once again. In this tale of love and second chances, they must confront the past and decide if they can forgive and heal together, or if the wounds of their history will keep them apart forever.

The Aviary
Birds are some of the most diverse creatures to ever live. They are very intelligent, too, some even using tools and speaking small snippets of human words. Some can see a greater range of colors than we can, and outsmart us in some facets of object-permanence. In The Aviary, though, some birds have more powers than just that. There are fire pheasants, birds with bright plumage that can shoot fire from their beaks. There are speaking grey cockatoos, able to quickly and efficiently learn languages. There are fanged vultures, people-sized creatures that can crush bones in their jaws. But most mysteriously there are the witching birds, unlike anything anyone has ever hoped to see...مكتمِلة
