It was a night just like this, in a place just like this, where kids tell scary stories around the fire.

There is nothing Ibrahim enjoys more than a nice hike in the dense woods of Southern Indiana. The trees as majestic, the flowers are colorful, and the fauna, whenever he sees it, is full of life.
