Saved or done for?...
The skyline here is the actual view from the window of my bedroom back in Beirut!

There are so many scenes in part 6 that I expanded from one page in my original script to several pages. This and the previous page were not originally in the script; what's going on here was only implied in page 33. But this is much more satisfying to me as it gives a sense of Malaak belonging to a lineage of Guardians, and clarifies what actually happens. Of course, that means all the pages got renumbered an absurd amount of times!

Even though it's been absolutely ages, I hope you notice echoes of previous pages ;)
Vocabulary note (it's been a while!):
Tayyeb = "Alright."

This is another scene I had planned for ages and ages... Bittersweet I know!

Heads up! As a Christmas present to my long-suffering Malaak fans, there will be a new page a day till the very end of the story!

Busted...

Not sure I'll get the next page(s) up in time for next week, because I just decided to add two pages to this scene to do it justice. But most of the pages after that are ready to post, so if things go as I hope, I can up the pace from next post on. Exciting!

There's so much going here that I don't want to explain... I've carried this page in my mind for years now!

Oh great, she can trail him by scent! Which is based on a actual Jinn lore, by the way – scent plays a large role for their kind.
That row of trees is authentic, as is the garage with the door bent in... When I'm done and put all this together in an ebook you'll be able to see the pics ;) The written-on metal panels at the bottom, are from real life as well, and I lifted the writing straight from the photo, because it tickled me. It says: "No parking" - "WHY??"
There's even an additional comment in Armenian which you can see in this close-up. Can anyone translate this for me? (Hoping it's nothing rude!)
