“While an elderly man in his mid-eighties looks curiously at a porno site, his grandson asks him from afar, 鈥溾€榃hat are you reading, grandpa?鈥欌€� 鈥溾€業t鈥檚 history, my boy.鈥欌€� 鈥淭he grandson comes nearer and exclaims, 鈥溾€楤ut this is a porno site, grandpa, naked chicks, sex . . . a lot of sex!鈥欌€� 鈥溾€榃ell, it鈥檚 sex for you, my son, but for me it鈥檚 history,鈥� the old man says with a sigh.鈥� All of people in the cabin burst into laughter. 鈥淎 stale joke, but a cool one,鈥� added William More, the man who just told the joke. The navigator skillfully guided the flying disc among the dense orange-yellow blanket of clouds in the upper atmosphere that they had just entered. Some of the clouds were touched with a brownish hue at the edges. The rest of the pilots gazed curiously and intently outwards while taking their seats. The flying saucer descended slowly, the navigator鈥檚 actions exhibiting confidence.

“The Audi tires squealed as the vehicle tracked the same path. Jake hammered down the avenue, hunting for a getaway. Traffic thickened at the juncture ahead. A green light flickered into amber. He ramped up over the limit, punching over the white lines on a red signal.
Tires screeched and a horn beeped. The needle sat on one hundred kilometers per hour. He fishtailed at a laneway. The GPS showed a right angle, car slid into a slot in an overhang. Jake got out and crept toward the opening, hugged the brick wall. He pulled the SIG and flicked off the safety.
The Audi braked at the mouth. Door slammed. A shadow fell over the concrete. The swish of clothing indicated a possible weapon draw.”

“Raimund stepped down from the merchant鈥檚 wagon that had carried him from Tora, and stood for a moment taking it all in.

It was time to find Aleana, and that meant he had to find passage to Boretar.”

“Dawa is happening not only in Muslim communities but also in Western prisons. Believing that religious education will benefit prisoners, the authorities mistakenly give agents of dawa access to Muslim prisoners.
