I upvoted as soon as I saw the use of the Arabic (I assume?) text, and I didn't regret it having read the story. I like that this is a run-of-the mill thing that everyone here does, I like the detail about always taking a certain path (I wonder about those who don't - intriguing), and the woman's eyes are genuinely intriguing and memorable, not just "piercing violet" or somesuch bullshit. I like that nothing here is HORRIBLE DEATH inducing, especially the woman. I also like that the author doesn't care whether or not you go see her. No promise of riches, no nothing, just … something intriguing. (And the woman is very intriguing, too.)
