WAITING FOR THE MORNING
(A Collection of
Short Stories)
(Stories versus Songs)
Feast
A short story which stops time and cancels fake
ceremonies and false joys reduced to mere streamers hung across the streets….
A Pair of Scissors
A narrative text cut off a society whose language is
Censorship and Scissors.
Waiting for the Morning
A short story with no starting-point or ending, stuck
in fixed time, between idle clocks and human suffering beyond time.
Foggy

the popular culture and the official one.
Shattered
A fragmented text emphasizing the dilemma of a
shattered character who willingly has let go of his right to determine his own
destiny.
Open, Sesame!

technique, the stream of consciousness, in a journey from the individual dream
to the collective one.

Truth discourse
(=Zarathustra) to Propaganda discourse
(=Tarik lbn Zyad) to Power discourse (Hadjadj)...

the human hunger for Freedom in three patterns: Imprudence, Submission and
Persistence ….
Identity
A round narrative text with round spaces and events (police-station,
staircase, yard and fountain, market, yard and fountain, café and then back
again to the police–station …)
The Crack
A short story as fragmented as its main theme:
Everything is cracking apart and waiting to collapse: the building, narrative
structure, characters’ convictions…
A Crow's Talk
A short story on Free Expression narrated by a crow
metamorphosed for misusing its right of free speech and honourable say.
Eternity
A stray narrative text lost in vicious circles,
between deadly still time and utterly stifling void.

by future riots, condemns in advance all its citizens for life with a stay of
execution.
