“This silence was broken with the sound of a car, wading through the turning curves of a thin, but well maintained road leading up to the cemetery.”

“Its leaves are as broad, rounded, long, or notched at the tip and they have dull green in color with visible veins.”

“The butler, who was a very serious man declared that it was the first time in years that he had had a hearty laugh.”

“The diary is my subconscious mind trying to talk to me and telling me to wake up from this illusion that I am trapped in.”

“Abdul Muizz and Abdul Warith snorted with laughter, assured that their older brother, Rasheed, is in love.”
