Blurred Starlight: Volume 3

by Rokaya Muhammad Afifi, Rania Mansour (Editor)

After seeing his sister asleep on a hospital bed, his sister's words rang in his head more than a dozen times, "What if something happens and I die?! Will you just kill yourself, saying that you'll join the rest of your family?!" Well, Light still can't nullify Star's words. He would definitely commit suicide if she were to die. "Why would I live in a world without Stars that light the nights for me? I need my Star so that I can live. Without her, there's no light in my life," he thought.

As of now, Light can't do anything but try to grope for the hope his sister needs, for he won't give her hope he doesn't have anymore... IMPORTANT NOTE

THIS BOOK CONTAINS SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, SUSPENSE, AND SOME BLOODY SCENES, WHICH WOULD BE FOUND IRRITATING FOR SOME READERS. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM READING IF YOU DON’T LIKE ANY OF THE MENTIONED POINTS.

28 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

My name is Rokaya Muhammad Afifi, currently 14 and a half. I am the author of Blurred Starlight. Due to my (considerably) insomnia, I stay up at nights, bored of boring boredom. Hence, I find my imagination taking the lead and starting to indulge me in the fascinations of the dream world, where one could live in another world as another person with other people! At times, I'd be in control of this imagination of mine and be a character in the story. At other times, though, I am merely watching a movie happening before my eyes. Sometimes, I start to ask myself if I have the right to call these stories my writing since my imagination is the one who made it. I merely just watched the events unfold in my mind then wrote it into words. Then, I remember that it's *my* imagination who made it inside *my* mind, then it's my making!
At other times, I feel perturbed when I read what I wrote or when I find my imagination showing me new scenes of the story. I feel like I don't want to think of the story because I am afraid of what I might think of. What if I think of Star dying? What if I think of Light committing suicide? What if, what if, what if... Those questions are way too bothersome, and thinking of these questions forces me on thinking of what I don't want to think of. I know it might sound insane, but try to understand what I mean. Either way, I'll try my best to make an acceptable ending for the Blurred Starlight series later.
Actually, I have already finished writing another 8 volumes... Wait for them to get published!
Lastly, I would like to remind you that this story might have started as a childish kind of story in the first volume, but as you read the following volumes, things will get even more serious. Therefore, please refrain from reading if it's usual for you to get any sort of irritation when you read scenes about wars, comas, blood, fear, and mistrust since the next volumes would be brimmed with much more irritating and stressing scenes.
I'll publish a volume each month, so wait for more!
