Din Ba Din

Book cover Din Ba Din science fiction short story

Sohaila never knows in the morning what the day will bring. Four babies desperate for attention or the long, empty days of a lonely widow?

Since she made that wish for more time her days come at random. Babies, adult children, willful teenagers, every day a surprise. How to keep track of it all?

Sohaila wants her days in sequence again.

Unwishing a wish, like unblowing out a candle. Not an easy task.
