Ghareeb.

Gareeb wakes up one Saturday morning, performs his morning prayers, and looks over his inbox for a few minutes. Then he dozes off on his couch. He Then hears a bird singing outside his window; the sound is identical to that he used to hear outside his window during the peaceful weekend mornings in his hometown in Lebanon. So for a few seconds, just a few, he gets snatched out of place and time and could almost smell his mother's breakfast....... Then, he just coldly smiles and tries to extend those seconds as long as possible, for he realizes it was just another dream.
