Suspended death

I realize in a moment of sincerity that she is the world, that playful beauty who tempts you with all her charms until the last drop of the cup, so you cling to the influence of her wine until the end, when the waiter turns off the lights and shakes you a little harshly to leave. Only then do you realize that the time has passed, and the night has passed in vain. *** In his second literary work, Tariq enchants us with ten interesting stories. Enchanting short stories, between whose lines we live diverse lives with diverse characters. The most beautiful thing that distinguishes stories is the combination of the joy of storytelling and the depth of meaning. A collection of stories that flirt with the heart and mind together. Although death is the title of the collection, with a contemplative look we find that talking about death is, in essence, an attempt to understand life.
