Mystery Man

Once upon a time, a man , no one knew what his name was, or  where did he come from?  Or anything about him…!

Most people knew that he is a good caring man. He always wore a  white vest with a cap that hides his features and the glow of his face that used to brighten up the street's dark,he looked  fine , as the people who have seen him say ..

He used to walk everywhere , in the narrow street's alleys , in the wood, and inside our houses too , some of them  were able to see him , and many others couldn't…

He is a light touch of caring… His joy was in drawing a smile on a poor child's dirty face… in sitting with an old woman listening to her faded stories … He always looked for those who needed him more than any other… he heard their sobs , their cold whispers between day and night… he heard their running tears …their wounded hearts and feelings…

He looked for us in our darkest moments … In our weakness, in our frustration  …

He was delightful by helping us " the strange people"

Wiping the misery of faces lived on the streets, in dark alleys, in a Dumpster ...People who made street their last hope…

He reached his hand for a desperate teenager who wants to end his wretched being, by a jump off a roof , or by the sharpness of a blade that kissing his veins passionately …

He dried the tears of a wounded lover, a crying mother in the memory of her child's death

He tried to fix our bled hearts by a gentle touch of him…

He was and still around us when we crave his touch  … He has always drawn a smile upon our tears and grief… he is the invisible touch.. The sightless man … Who comes and goes ,and no one can see him, but the people who believe in him…

This man... Is called "Hope"

It's a bit difficult to fully critique this considering English is not your first language. I can't imagine how difficult it is to write in a second language, but hopefully, I can get some minor points across.

I really enjoyed this piece! I wouldn't call it a story though. I might call it a fable? It can possibly even be warped into a fairy tale. Even though some of your wordings were a bit off, I understood what was going on and what you struggled to describe at times.

This could even be the start of a much bigger piece if you'd like? The character is highly likable. We (your readers) would like some dialogue too.

Just some quick advice, read as many popular novels as you can that are in English! That will help your wording out a lot.

98/100

Take care!

English, so I hear, is a difficult language to learn to speak much less speak creatively! You deserve it. :) You are welcome!

Best of luck,

Will i have to disagree with you in this point chris , English it can't be difficult at all , in fact maybe its the most easier language in the whole world !! believe me i knew english for my whole life , but i started writing literature two months ago ! and just for fun, i already write in my own language in a pretty good way i believe , but believe me Arabic is a way difficult than english , this is why its the most difficult language on earth ! i am lucky to be born Arabic :P

You did a very good job Hadeel, the story was lovely. I do find it difficult to review the writing of those whose first language is not English. Sometimes the phrasing and grammar if off, yet I hate to be critical, as I can only imagine how difficult it must be to write in a language that is not your own. For that reason, I try to only comment on the overall message and feelings expressed.

Thank you so much LA for your sweet words :) I know exactly what you mean , English its my second language but i've known it like for ever ! but speaking is a thing and writing is another ... And English its not that difficult to write in! for me i believe its easy language compared to others like my mother language .. And i didn't use English for three years after graduation form the university , so its hard to remember all the grammars and cohesiveness things in writing but with a little study and practicing nothing is hard ;)
