A new MBM story after a long period of struggling with writer's block. It's a bit weird. Based on a random prompt on discord, and written within a week (which is a lot less than the usual, where I obsess endlessly about improving a story endlessly and then never publish it.)
I hope my choice to focus on a Muslim character is well recieved. It's a vague reference to a Muslim girl I briefly dated, but I also recognize that it's a bit weird, to use other people's faith as a prop like this.
I hope it's not read as an anti-Muslim, or a hijabi- fetishistic story. I know that any depiction of minority religions can quickly become problematic.
EDIT: The observant among you may have noticed that I have changed the title multiple times by now. Yes. I don't like any of these titles. Apologies.
Feedback, if constructive, is highly appreciated!
