Muhammad, The First Born

Muhammad opened his eyes at 6:34 in the morning. He checked his phone and he saw 34 missed calls and 302 notifications. He tapped his finger on his screen and scrolled through each text. 

“PICK UP! MAHMOUD IS FIGHTING THE JEWS IN ISRAEL!”

“MUHAMMAD, WHERE ARE YOU?! PICK UP!! PICK UUUUUPP!!”

“MAHMOUD SAID HE KILLED 10 JEWS! MAMA CAN’T STOP CRYING! MUHAMMAD!!”

Oh my god, he thought. His hands began to tremble and the thought exploded in his mind that his brother might be dead. He had to know. He had to know now.
