"An-Namrud, I think that... Maybe you don't need to build this tower."

It was a normal day, like any other. Every day was a repeat of the one before. The man who was the architect of the Tower of Babel hardly did anything other than work on the tower. He had shut himself away, except for the times when he needed a break or when his thoughts were in disarray. This was not common though, and he could go days without leaving his work space. What exactly was he doing in there? People could only guess.

An-Namrud looked at Ishmael like he was crazy, "I will just ignore that you said that."

"I'm serious. Is it really necessary to finish it? If something were to happen… if the tower just couldn't be finished.." 

Ishmael shrugged and gave his brother a weak smile. It was clear what he was implying.

"Enough, I don't want to hear anymore. We are so close to finishing our work, why are you saying this now? No, just stop."
