Sphinx Stories

Welcome to our first-ever Echoes From the World. At @IdentityandCulture, we believe every story has a heartbeat and every culture has a secret. This activity is designed to bridge the gap between the stories we host in our reading lists and the diverse community that reads them. Together, we dive into our culture, spotlight a story, and challenge you, the people of the world, to decode a mystery. Every reader who joins us will receive a special participant sticker at the end of the month to celebrate their contribution to the community.

I'm just going to write all these dialogues and situation down here that come to my mind. Some will be based on situations I experienced some will be actual copies of them and some will be completely fictional. Also some poems will be here. The chapters don't rely on each other unless clamed otherwise. Fell free to use the dialogues and situations in your own story if you want to. Caution: gets kinda depressed

Looks can be deceiving, costumes can tell the truth and your own can be someone else's.
