A Story of Nothingness and Everything in Between
The day was bright but meaningless. The sky stretched overhead, vast and blue, but for what purpose? No one knew, least of all Sull Kaak, who had spent his entire life pondering the great paradox of existence, only to conclude that the paradox itself was a meaningless contrivance of a mind too stubborn to accept that it knew nothing.

During this month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs.
