Forces We Can't See — Questions We Can't Ignore

No easy answers, just the ones we live with.

Some stories refuse to stay silent. They haunt us, demand to be told, and won’t let go until they are. The Gales of Alexandria is one of those stories—shaped by unseen forces, where history, global events, and personal fate converge, and where the struggle to understand the choices that define us takes center stage.

A story that accepts complexity, quietly resisting the pull of easy answers.

It is born from a generation that has seen history unfold firsthand—the shock of 9/11, the ensuing wars, the war on terrorism, the rise of extremism, and the hopes of the Arab Spring. A generation torn in opposing directions, forced to reflect and search for meaning in a world shaped by these events.

Bringing this story into the world was not easy. It challenged me, pushed me, and stayed with me even when I tried to step away. It carries the weight of places I have lived and moments I have witnessed—across borders and time. But now, it belongs to the readers.
