Steps That Never Turn Back
🚶♂️ “Steps That Never Turn Back”
(“خُطى لا تعرف التراجع”
Chapter 1: The Choice
They warned him not to take that road.
“It’s cursed,” they said.
“No one walks it twice.”
But Adil wasn’t like the others. He was tired of standing still — tired of waiting, wondering, and wishing. Life in his small town felt like a paused song: silent, motionless, forgotten.
So one cold morning, he tightened his boots, packed a small bag, and headed toward the edge of the village — toward the road everyone feared.
Chapter 2: The First Steps
The path began as a narrow dirt trail, swallowed by mist and lined with trees that leaned like they were whispering secrets.
Adil’s steps were firm.
One after another.
No pause. No second thoughts.
Birds disappeared. The wind stopped. The world fell strangely quiet.
But the further he walked, the clearer things became — not around him, but inside him.
He remembered dreams he’d buried.
He felt fears he never named.
He heard the voice of his younger self, asking, “Why did you stop believing?”
Chapter 3: No Way Back
At sunset, he stopped to rest. He looked behind him.
Nothing.
The road had vanished.
No footprints. No sign he’d ever been where he started.
Only forward.
Only unknown.
And yet… he felt no panic.
Because for the first time, the road ahead — however uncertain — felt more alive than the life he had left behind.
Chapter 4: The Traveler Within
Days passed. Then weeks.
He met faces and places he never imagined.
He slept under stars he never thought he’d see.
He failed. He fell. He rose again.
And every step taught him something:
That courage isn’t loud.
That change isn’t always visible.
That sometimes, walking away from comfort is how you walk into yourself.
Epilogue: The Road Lives
No one in the village ever saw Adil again.
Some say he vanished.
Some say the road took him.
Others believe he finally found what he was searching for.
But every now and then, travelers speak of a quiet man walking ahead of them — a calm face, steady pace, eyes full of stories. He never speaks. Never stops.
Because his are steps that never turn back.
