I esp like how you didn't think the stain was apparent. A hidden stain is intruiging and a stain liek on honor and not really on her hijab like a metaphor woudl be interesting too.<BR/><BR/>Thnaks for your input Anon #1 :)<BR/>The majority seemed to liek blood!<BR/><BR/>Anon#2 aka Amanda ;) hehehe girl i wish i could remeber the rest of those titles we made up....they were a riot!American Muslima Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494763839971976761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-83833294039854954522008-08-20T16:25:00.000+04:002008-08-20T16:25:00.000+04:00ummabdur-rahman: Good idea for her to glimse it an...ummabdur-rahman: Good idea for her to glimse it and remember. No matter what the stain is, seeing it again woudl bring the story back.<BR/><BR/>Jayne: those a great ideas, although i'm surprised you picked black hijab because most stains don't show unless they are opposite colors. I like the missing signals and your opener is fab. thanks for taking the time from your busy night to do this :D Although you coulda done it the next day ;) thanks.American Muslima Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494763839971976761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-36135623463985609842008-08-09T22:30:00.000+04:002008-08-09T22:30:00.000+04:00I can't resist sharing my vision of, "The Stained ...I can't resist sharing my vision of, "The Stained Hijab."<BR/><BR/>One nice weekend many years ago, my husband and I took a bus from Riyadh to Mecca, for Umra. The bus stopped just outside the Miquat, and I remember standing in front of the rest stop buildings, admiring the many birds that flew around chirping and cooing, without fear of the people. <BR/><BR/>Suddenly I felt something plop on top of my head. I reached up to investigate, and...you can imagine the rest of the story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-17348997073090286732008-08-09T10:51:00.000+04:002008-08-09T10:51:00.000+04:00Oh wow, I remember that afternoon too.

Not by her own hands, that's for sure!<BR/>The book's about missing signals & automatically thinking the worst.<BR/><BR/>Here's an opener for you:<BR/>Yasmin opened the passenger door of the car & was hit by the immediate force of a scorchingly hot & humid day. Wearily, she made her way around to the back of the car & opened the boot (trunk)to take out the grocery bags. Her back ached with the effort, even though the shopping wasn't heavy. She felt the sweat start to trickle from her hairline & just as she was about to close the boot, she saw a crumpled up hijab, tucked discreetly in a corner.............Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546956519928584352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797518818272666624.post-40489146963852935712008-08-06T00:27:00.000+04:002008-08-06T00:27:00.000+04:00I think the hijab should be hidden away in her clo...I think the hijab should be hidden away in her closet and she sees glimpses of it and it reminds her maybe from a previous encounter that causes much termoil in her life but she can not part with it....I don't know I am working on my own short stories so I do not want to mix the two thoughts in my brain...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
