Strangers smoking salvation

Author's name: Ahmed Salah Saad

Among those searching for salvation, questions abound and their echoes spread, stories are born and intertwine. Between a stranger untouched by raindrops once freed from the clouds' confines, and a drop saddened by its inability to see blue, perplexed by the reality of dwelling in clouds suspended in the sky, perhaps a lost soul can be found. And why does the strange face, whose owner is unaware of his own feelings, bear familiar features, whispering past memories after a silence akin to death? Can humiliating hunger create a tender memory? And from the darkness of shadows, how could a cup of coffee alter the dimensions of the universe, conjuring for the heart a ladder of breeze and an angel of strange form? Seven pairs of stories reveal to their subjects the secrets of their souls, illuminating depths within them that they were unaware of until the light dawned.
