Miraculously the ball finds its way into the hoop‚ with 6 seconds left and the clock stopped‚ the other team calls a timeout.

“Walking on Ice” In the calm and chilling winter of the end of the year. My friends and I were walking back home from Friday prayer at the Masjid. We walked on down the road until we approached the river bank where it was arctic and barren along the shore.
