FICTION
ADVICE
โ FLASH FICTION by Juman Ahmedani
(Translated from Urdu by Abdul Ghani)
โHave it!โย
โWhy do I need it?โ
โWhat an eccentric person you are! I am giving you a very precious thing. And you arenโt going to possess it.โ
โBut this is the lie.โ
โThatโs why Iโm asking you to keep it.โ
โBut what will I do with the lie?โ
โYou know, people clandestine it in the rims of their eye sockets and hide inside their hearts. It rises and sets the Sun of power of the enthroned. Now it is being marketed from social media to the bookstores.โ
โBut, I am looking for the truth.โ
โThen I have a piece of advice for you.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โGo to the Fountain House.โ
โฆ.
