March 1996. A smart young man is waiting in the hostel/dorm rooms of Cambridge University. The  guy is nervously biting his nails until there is a warning voice calling his name:
-Mr. Walter?
-Mr. Walter?
= Yes, Madam.
-Mr. Jacob is waiting for you in the office.
= Thank you, Madam.
Good afternoon Mr. Jacob I'm Walter Dorn.
- Take a seat, Mr. Walter.
( Jacob start to read through Walter's Resume)
- Well, you are such the genius !
(Walter smiled at him)
-Okay, Mr. Walter. According to your GPA and social awareness which look perfect, we are honored to give you our scholarship to be a student at Cambridge University. The university doesn't provide accommodation. Therefore, you are asked to find some place near to our college.
Well, sir, I'm working on that.
-Nice to meet you, Mr. Walter.
…..
The police are still in the place asking more people if they have any information about the murder. A young detective called Adam feels that there are some confusing secrets covering the whole story. Since the man looks like a stranger.
…..
In the same night of the acceptance. Walter's sitting in a dark street when Noah his friend came.
= Walter, What did you do?
I'm accepted
=Wooooow, man you did it! So why do you look so tragic?
I have to leave the city
= Oh man, I'm going to miss you. You are my only friend, but I wish you work so well there and Screw them up
Yeah…
--- Rose-Noah's sister-is coming to ask about Walter's interview. Noah tells her. Her face changes. ---
….
2 days later Noah found a written message from Rose. She admitted everything. She and Walter are together in love. They refuse any limitation for their willingness to be together.
---
Noah and Rose are not the only siblings, they're close to each other. Noah and Walter were friends from their childhood. Someday they were playing in the street together until they heard a guy running to them telling them that both their dads just died in an accident in the factory. They hurried up into the factory to receive the bodies of their dads. From this moment Noah, Walter and Rose were together. They lived together sharing their dreams.
Noah was strong and he is a clever athlete. Rose was pretty; she is a books' lover, too. Walter was a genius in School and everyone expected him to be a clever doctor.
Walter and Rose shared many dreams together. He wanted to be a doctor while she wanted to be a writer. But they share the same dream as both of them were looking forward to marrying each other.

One of the neighbors found a missing ID carried the name of "Walter Dorn" the next day following the tragic night.

April 22, 2017
In the lecture hall in Cambridge University, Mr. Walter is standing discussing his Ph.D., with the impressive speech he concludes his word. He looked at his wife who is so pretty, and said " All my accomplishments go to her". Rose had smiled then they went home.  In the same night, Rose and Walter were celebrating Walter's award then they started talking:

- How pretty are you my Rosie? I'm so lucky.
= My beauty is no longer
- your speech is killing me.
= I tell the truth.
- No, you are my life. I couldn't live a moment without you.
=My cancer is eating my soul.
-Nothing can eat my sweetie except me
=It is not a joke, Walter. Stop acting like I'm a child.
- Well, what do you want for now?
= My brother.
- Yours is a solider now he may kill me. He will definitely kill both of us. He is aggressive and why do you think he would forgive us? We couldn't face him in our strength, so you think we are able to do that now!
= I want my brother's forgiveness before I die. It is my last wish. Please, if you love me. Bring him to our house. I want to see him.
- Well, I'm going to visit him tomorrow.
= You are a gentleman, May Allah bless you for me.
-Amen
In the next day, Walter kissed his wife and went. He was afraid of the confrontation. He took the whole road thinking about what is going to happen between them. While he was thinking, he got a call from a man working for them in the house. He told him that Mrs. Rose died!

Walter stopped the automobile and start crying. He decided to go to the city and find her brother. In a guilt night, Walter just stepped into the city and the rain started to fall. Afternoon, dark street.
Walter met Noah and started a conversation.
= You? Again?
-Yeah, I'm here to as….
= How dare you? Where is my lovely sister? Did you kill her? Did you make her ashamed to face me? You are not a man. I trusted you. I treated you as my brother. I supported, fed and worked to fund your education. Then you take my tiny world and go. You are selfish. Why didn't you think about me? About the shame you bring to me? Did you think I deserved all of that? Or are you the dangerous disease I'd kept in my house?
-Noah listen.
= You are not supposed to order. I own the situation here. You are nothing.
-She always wanted your forgiveness
= Wanted? What do you mean? My soul, my sister, and my world? She is the only reason I'm still alive. Is she dead? You are the reason! If I didn't adore her, I would kill you right now. May Allah put you in the darkest hole in hell!
- You are right. I never deserved her, I was so ambitious to keep her for me and take her away from you. Now she died. It is all about me. I don't deserve this life.
(Walter pick his gun and pointed it to his own head, this time was too cloudy to be obviously seen. Noah couldn't stop him from committing suicide although he was grateful that Walter killed himself before he killed him.)
Noah took the gun and ran away from the body. He threw the ID on the river……

Miserable

 This one word could describe my life right now. I am writing this because of the last book I read talking about how to re-organize your life. 32 days ago, my dad has gone. In the beginning, I couldn't cry. Now, I can't stop crying about everything. Everything reminds me of him. His favorite stuff became my nightmare. I dream of him every day, too. One week from his death, I took my exams. I didn't remember how I did in them. I knew they were not how I supposed to do, but I am not aware of how I did. I wish I could have cried when he passed. I wanted to cry a lot but I didn't have the ability to face myself with the fact of his death.  He died between my shoulders. I just saw his color turned to yellow like how my grandpa seemed before death. I heard my brother told him some prayers that a person says before death and I just shouted at him to stop. I spent time squeezing his feet to make him shocked. I even talked to him, I said don't go, don't leave me, not now...

Fate degree

The world became unfolding before our eyes.  THE BIG GHOST! "Global warming".  Listen up!  Historically, there are two ice ages. One of them was in the Middle Ages form the 12th to 14th centuries, followed by a "little ice age" lasts at the early 19th century, but here we are, 1998 was the warmest year in the warmest decade in the warmest century of the last millennium. Therefore, Scientist predicts the Overhasty end for this Earth and creatures thereon.  Is the greenhouse effect can be considered as the worst phenomena?

Back to Track

Hello guys, It's been a long time since we last talked. I want to mention that I'm doing very well now. Reorganize my life and it works. I wanted to commit suicide, but "Omar" my friend helped me to get these ideas away from my head. I did very badly in my exams, but Merna, Hana, Maria, Omar, and Ziad helped me to go through this difficult period in my life. During my exams, I've gotten two acceptance mails. One for an international competition called YouNoodle and to be honest I never thought about it.  The second was for Google Developer Student Club leadership. I always considered this position as a normal volunteering position which is going to help me increase my network and nothing but a network.  No. no it is not just about it, friends. They started the training while my exams so, I feel so late. They offered us many courses and labs...  What makes me happy is the Study Jam they provide. we used a platform called Qwiklabs . It is crazy...
