Eighty years waiting for death, Part 2, written by Abdel Majeed Fayyad... Fifteen years have passed since the day when Ahmed was buried over the body of his wife, Abrar. Years whose days were as long as an eternity, as dark as the night of thirty, and as lonely as an abandoned shrine. These years continued, during which Ahmed's fame spread. The old boy, the thin stranger, with young features and white hair! Ahmed suffered from a genetic defect that stopped his body from growing, but his soul continued to age and wither day after day. Ahmed's interest in toxins and their plant and animal sources grew. In the end, the love of his life died because of them. His situation became more controversial and curious, and news reached Alexander, the ruler of one of the independent cities of Haiti, who hosted him and brought him closer, and enabled him to learn the colloquial language, read in his private library, and learn the details of life in his city, Verdom. However, Ahmed's condition did not last forever, as the winds of fate quickly buffeted him, as the health of his host, Alexander, deteriorated and the end of his rule approached. He once again felt alienated, weak, and despondent, not only because he had become alone, but also because he had become stuck in the conflicts, conspiracies, and machinations of those around him.
