    Author

    Fizza Younis

    Dr. Fizza Younis resides in the vibrant city of Lahore, Pakistan, where her journey through life has been as diverse as her country. With a Ph.D. in economics, she has delved deep into the intricate webs of financial theory, but the enchanting realms of fiction and poetry have captured her heart. As a dedicated indie author and ardent reader, she revels in the art of storytelling, crafting narratives that transcend the boundaries of her academic pursuits. Rooted in the principles of minimalism, equality, and harmony, her writing reflects her steadfast beliefs. Her stories are both mirrors of her philosophy and windows into the lives of intriguing characters navigating the labyrinth of existence. In her world, characters come alive, and their misadventures resonate with humanity's shared joys and tribulations. She sprinkles love and encouragement with every word, creating a cocoon of empathy and connection that envelops her readers. Though she might describe herself as an average person leading a mundane existence, Fizza is nothing short of spectacular in the world of fiction. Join her on a journey through the written word, where ordinary lives take on extraordinary hues, and the essence of humanity is distilled into every sentence.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

    Somewhere in Time - Fizza Younis

    To the dreamers, may all your dreams come true!

    More Than a Century Ago

    There weren’t many things I wanted from life, but the one thing that I had desired the most remained elusive, hiding just out of my reach. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t touch the moon.

    The Year was 1904

    Looking at the chubby face of their newborn baby girl, they both thought the same thing; she was the most beautiful child in the world and they’d do anything to protect her. It was the happiest day of their lives.

    Have you thought of a name yet? Atticus asked his wife.

    Aurora, Hima said, smiling, because she is the dawn of our new life.

    Beautiful just like her, he said, kissing his daughter on the forehead, Aurora it is then.

    After years of waiting and praying, Lord Atticus and Lady Hima received a blessing in the form of their baby girl. They wanted to celebrate her birth with all the pomp and show befitting a princess. Atticus was one of the richest men in the world. Being from a noble family, he was well-respected, and the world would cherish his heiress.

    You’re already planning a party, Hima said, knowing him well, Aren’t you? She pursed her lips in a pout.

    Oh, well, there is no point in delaying the inevitable. She gave him the approval. His face beamed with delight.

    The day of the party came soon enough. Atticus had invited all the important people, including national and international dignitaries. Unfortunately, an old friend unexpectedly crashed the party, interrupting the celebration.

    Phillip’s sudden appearance was most unwelcomed. No one else noticed it as the party went on, but Atticus made sure that he greeted Phillip himself because he wanted to ensure that Phillip didn’t go anywhere near his wife or daughter.

    Aren’t you happy to see me? Phillip asked, as if accusing his friend of being negligent.

    There was a time when the two were closer than brothers. Even though they came from different backgrounds, their friendship was once fodder for people’s envy.

    I don’t recall inviting you, Atticus stated, looking weary. He
