...that you can write stories...
I have now read The Birthday of Ali, and this story.
And here's what I found:
I came to the conclusion that Joe456 was a skilled storyteller of great intelligence and learning in his own language, and it just transferred quite well into English.
There are some people who write in such a way, with such expressions, turns of speech, comparisons/analogies that it does not matter too much what the destination is about -- the trip itself is enjoyable. Then you are gratified to find yourself at an enjoyable destination after all.
Hats off to a writer who has it.
