Migration Stories

Stitching life's tales together any which way... This is a patchwork collection of accounts from my life. Every word is true! Well, ALMOST every word. Some tales need just a little embroidery.

Ein ehemaliger Gastarbeiter, abgeschoben in ein Land, das seine Heimat sein soll, versucht zwischen Türkei, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zu überleben. Zwischen Teppichhandel, Entwurzelung, schrägem Humor und den kleinen Katastrophen des Alltags erzählt Selo von Menschen, die nirgends ganz dazugehören. Eine raue, ironische und zugleich menschliche Geschichte über Fremdsein, Würde und das Leben zwischen mehreren Welten.

Flash fiction for the Weekend Write-In

A story about my grandfather's destiny.

Toothless and his family are migrating away from the hidden world. Toothless starts having terrible nightmares and the journey gets really tough. But when toothless meets a familiar face, a lost friendship becomes found.

A young girl accidentally discovers an old, mysterious book that transports her to another world filled with magic, danger, and a collapsing kingdom. At first, she believes it's just a mistake or a dream, but she soon realizes it's real and far more serious than she imagined. As she struggles to survive and find a way home, she learns that both this world and her own are connected, and that her arrival was not an accident. Somehow, she was meant to be there, caught between two worlds and a fate she never asked for, but may be the only one who can change it.

Locations for where The Jungle Getaway featuring characters from my role-play and even for a possible fanfiction.

I thought AdventureGirl5 could make a fanfiction of this upcoming AU web series(like with her OC's). Plot: Zookeeper Gabo (Human Gabo) gets an invitation for an expedition in the jungle at a lost island as he teams up with a team of his zoo animal buddies along the way as he and the rest sails off. However, Gabo and his zoo buddies got lost in the jungle after a strong storm swept his zoo buddies away in a river in their crates. But Gabo (Human Gabo), Chloe and his zoo buddies finds a village in the jungle, only to find out that's it an all women village. On their way, the whole village of women tries to teach Gabo to become stronger, fierce and wild as a threat is coming to their beloved island, sooner. However, Gabo realizes that not only he will get into a wild adventure, but he would soon develop a massive romantic relationship with each of the women tribe (A.K.A a harem).

My public opinion on various topics

"They say JOY IS ETERNAL", but for Titilayo, it feels like a fading memory." Sixteen-year-old Titilayo is a girl of simple dreams and quiet beauty, the eldest of three, a daughter of the soil, a pride to her father and the steady hand her pregnant mother relies on-tucked away in the heart of her little community. Naive and sheltered by the traditions of her home, she believes that life follows a predictable rhythm-until the rhythm breaks. In a quest for a greater tomorrow, a series of devastating events shatters her world. Titilayo is uprooted from everything she knows and thrust into the cold, unfamiliar reality of life she never imagined . From the vibrant warmth of her village to the harsh, unforgiving landscapes of a world she never asked to see, she must navigate more than just a new language. She must face the tragic facts of survival, betrayal, and the loss of her innocence. Can a girl raised on sunshine and simplicity survive the winter of the soul? Or will the challenges of life finally break the joy she was named for?How does she carry the weight of a family when she's lost her own way home?
