- 2002: A Lesson Learned in “A Sailor Boy’s Tale”
- ... takes the boy under her wing; I’m using that saying metaphorically, because the woman that comes to his aid is the same being that he had saved atop his ship’s mast earlier that day.

On that day, Muhammad ordered the murder of 10 people living in Mecca. Muhammad said "God forbid killing in Mecca, except for this one day." Sarh was one of the people Muhammad ordered to be murdered. His crime? He had left Islam, and he constituted a threat to the credibility of the Qur'an and the prophethood of Muhammad.

- ... from me because of their potential danger. So I was kept out of harms way in the playpen or crib. As I grew older and was no longer watched by my parents 24 hours a day, I realized that I was censored by others. In school, it was constantly no to this and no to that.
