租房（renting an apartment）

 حفَّار القبور
في وادي ظل الحياة المرصوف بالعظام والجماجم سرتُ وحيدًا في ليلةٍ حجب الضبابُ نجومَهَا، وَخَامَرَ الهولُ سكينتها.

هناك على  ضفاف نهر الدماء والدموع المُنسَابِ كالحية الرَّقْطَاءِ، المتراكض كأحلام المجرمين، وقفتُ مُصْغِيًا لهمس الأشباح مُحَدِّقًا باللاشيء.

ولمَّا انتصفَ الليل وقد خرجتْ مواكبُ الأرواح من أوكارها، سمعتُ وقع أقدام ثقيلة تقترب مني، فالتفتُّ وإذا بشبحٍ جبار مَهيب مُنتصب أمامي، فصرختُ مذعورًا: «ماذا تريدُ مني؟»

فنظر إليَّ بعينين مُشعشعتين كالمسارج، ثم أجاب بهدوء: «لا أريد شيئًا، وأريد كل شيء.»

قلتُ: «دعني وشأني وسِر في سبيلكَ.»

فقال مبتسمًا: «ما سبيلي سوى سبيلك؛ فأنا سائرٌ حيث تسير، ورابضٌ حيث تربض.»

 قلت: «جئتُ أطلب الوحدة، فخلِّنِي ووحدتي.» فقال: «أنا الوحدة نفسي. فلماذا تخافني؟» قلت: «لستُ بخائفٍ منك.» فقال: «إن لم تكن خائفًا فلماذا ترتجف مثل قصبة أمام الريح؟» قلت: «إن الهواء يتلاعب بأثوابي فترتجف، أما أنا فلا أرتجف.»
فضحك مُقهقهًا بصوتٍ يُضَارِعُ ضجيج العاصفة، ثم قال: «أنت جبان، تخافني وتخاف أن تخافني، فخوفكَ مُزدوج، ولكنك تحاول إخفاءه عني وراء خداع أوهى من خيوط العنكبوت، فضحكني وتغيظني.» ثم جلس على الصخر، فجلستُ قَسْرَ إرادتي مُحدقًا الى ملامحه المَهيبة، وبعد هُنيهة خِلتُها ألف عام نظر إليَّ مُستهزئًا وسألني قائلًا: «ما اسمك؟»

What’s up everyone, in today’s episode, I’m going to focus on a game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2012 called Dishonored. It’s a pretty nice action-stealth game featuring political conspiracy, vengeance story and black magic in an environment inspired by the best steampunk fictions. Enjoy.

Here is the link to the transcript (including also the game’s webpage): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPyCE5HZuD9F2vw3fTOzvQYDs6j1dzr_3AH_gaiItac/edit


For gamers out there

Dishonored: even an honorable man can seek vengeance.

Tacos are the world's most popular street food, according to a new study of TikTok posts.

Originally from Mexico, these simple, messy, hand-sized snacks are enjoyed around the world.

A money transfer company called Remitly wanted to find out about the world's best-loved street foods.

It made a list of more than 300 such foods from 136 countries, and looked at TikTok to see how many times each one had been mentioned on the app.

Tacos — tortillas filled with meat, vegetables or almost anything else you can think of — were mentioned more than 1.8 million times.

Next came a South Asian favorite, pani puri. Eaten in India at any time of day, these are crispy dough balls often filled with potato, chickpeas and spices.

Pani puri was mentioned more than 734,000 times, a little more than the third-placed food: hot dogs, which were mentioned almost 654,000 times.

Many of the most popular street foods on the list are things you can easily eat while walking — although you might get some sauce on your shirt!

But Vietnamese pho — a noodle soup — also did well, and so did Peru's ceviche, a fish dish made with lime juice and onion.

Some sweet snacks were also in the website's top 10, including waffles, croissants and crepes.

Many of these street foods can now be found around the world, although some are easier to find than others.

But travel website TimeOut says eating authentic local street food is one of the best parts of traveling!

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”
