LNM: The Word

[ LNM: The Word ]

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Word”

The stage focused to a single man, whose name remained unknown to the audience. Lights glimmered through his feet, forming a circular image on the floor. The man looked around and started delivering his speech. Everyone was paying attention to this man, who dressed like a clown, wearing a red blob wig, white and blue striped shirt and black trousers. He smiled, with a sinister look on his face.

Trails of voices of the crowd in a soft, yet layered in the thin speck of air. Everyone discussed the reliability of the man’s remark.

“Seriously?”

“Can we trust him?”

“What he’s just another con guy?”

“Heck, like I believe anything this guy said.”


Without anyone noticed, a guy in black suit popped out a .44 Magnum from his pocket.

“You! – on the stage, what a bluff. Like Hell I would listen to your blabbering.”

Everyone screamed in panic. Chaos ensured.

The guy pulled out the trigger. As he tried to shoot, the clown guy opens up a black book from his trousers. He slipped out a fountain pen from the shirt’s pocket and writes something in the book.

====
Seconds later, the black suit guy retracted his gun and directed the nozzle to his head.

“Curse you!” that’s his last word before a gunshot was heard.

A high-pitched tone of shriek from a lady followed up. Everyone else muttered in silence. No one dared to meet the eyes of the clown guy, No one but one – a young boy.
=====

“See, I told you. The Word is indeed amazing. It can be a Heaven or Hell, depends on how your writing.”

“As long we listen to you, you’ll not cause any harm to us, right?”

“Well, you could say that. But I have something prepared for you. Walk through the red-colored door next to me – and you’ll see.”

The lights of the room suddenly turned off, and on within a minute. Traces of the clown guy is nowhere to be found. He just vanished, right after that.

====
‘Should we walk through it –the red door?”

“Who knows what happens next.”

And some of the crowd make their way to the red door.

====

The young boy, suddenly watched his surroundings and starts to write up what he observed in a small book. A plain, brown A5 sized book.

“This sounds interesting to me!”
