Hello, this is part 1 of a multi part story. I'm posting just part 1 for now to gauge response. This is a story based on my own experiences. Let me know what you guys think? *Sorry about that strange bright blue on white text.
PART 1: America… Almost a year here and I am still figuring things out. Nabila gazed upwards, fighting a sense of vertigo, dark brown eyes watching the New York skyscrapers catch the oranges, reds, and purples of dusk. Around her, crowds of men and women brushed passed, some shaking their heads, some staring her up and down.
When she realizes what she was doing her cheeks redden just a hint. She fidgets with her hijab, adjusting the dark blue cloth before shuffling quickly down the stairs to wait for the train. Late… It’s always late… the six train rumbles to a screeching stop, she squeezes passed a few riders. Ugh..too slow…I have to stand She looks up and stretches out her arm, barely reaching the bar above the filled seats. After a sudden shake as the train rolls forward, she is on her way home.
