The lover's neck

Author's name: Mohamed El-Makhzangi

"His only song had grown old, and was about to wither and fade away, so he did not accept that. He made the absent beloved live, and she had a house nearby to inhabit, and this house invited him to enter. And the house of illusion would inevitably be destroyed with the first touch of the smallest reality test. Whether by an attempt to enter it, or an obstacle that postponed this entry, or a reality that destroyed its entire illusory structure. "Qasab" was, in the aggravation of his delusions, dead, dead. Fate brought him someone who would postpone the misery of the end for him for a month and a half by finding the beloved, even if he was traveling. A continuous quarter of a century of absolute love, to which "she" added a month and a half. It is love until the absolute life, or the decisiveness of death, which only the insane can withstand." New short stories by Dr. Muhammad Al-Makhzanji, who often seems to be distancing himself from this literary art to connect with other worlds through writing. We then discover that he only distanced himself to get closer to his first love: the art of storytelling. He takes this art to unfamiliar regions, especially in that unknown continent we call: the human soul.
