"TRUTH IN LIES IN TRUTH"
----------------------------X-----------------------------
"FOR-
ALL THE SLEEPING SHEEP-
WITH WITS-"
----------------------------X-----------------------------
In a Parallel World-
Almost similar to Twisted World of ours,
Where, Technologies are shining and roaring like thunders,
While Morals of Mortals are getting bitterer.
And Homeless people are getting younger and younger,
While souls are disappearing with silent raindrops of their tears.
Every corner of the world is filled with the so-called "God's Eye" from which no
crimes or deeds can escape, not even in their nightmare.
In this world, informations and technologies are considered as powers controlled
only by The Rich who hate to share. That is because- with that, only the rich are
getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. No middle line exists in this world.
This sick world has forbidden many phrases. One of them is—
"Sharing is caring."
Even in this secured world, people are disappearing with the darkness of midnight
on a daily basis. No one knows where they are. Only the middle finger wrapped in a
black cloth with a message saying, "Life's purpose finally fulfilled" is being delivered
to their families by people, no one has ever seen before.
People call them "The Ghost" as they are also invisible to "The God's Eye". Counting
the number of victims is like counting the raindrops of the monsoon. The cracking
sound of their families' sorrow can't be heard by anyone, as they don't hold the title
"Elite" that only the rich possess.
(Scene- 01)
(THE BREAD)
Date: UNKOWN
Location: Near a basketball court in a Field
Time: Afternoon
A voice is echoing,
inside the mind full of illusions of a rotten place for sinner mortals to live in:
"It's a day just like any other days,
where people don't care or share or say-
Who lives? Who dies? Who slays?
Who is laughing? Who is in pain? Who is in play?
Who needs help? Who's starving to death? Who becomes one with clay?
And who is diving in the silence of madness without any rays?
No one cares, unless they are the victim.
They just wear a mask to hide their true selves scheme-
behind fake fantasy words and titles made up by Mortal Dreams."
The rays of the sun peeks through the cage of clouds, not too warm, not too cold. The
air is refreshing like fresh mint, the scent of new leaves— reviving and reminding
of nature's existence in a world full of technologies. No better day to play some sports
with friends.
At the right corner of an open vast field with green grass and trees with new leaves,
inside an outdoor basketball court, A Madman, 5'9" in height with dark brown
skin, face almost covered with rough-long hair and beard, skinny body, with a bright
yellow smile on his face, is trying to play basketball with a bunch of little boys circled
around him. He is trying to get the ball, running here and there.
But those little boys are making fun of him. They are throwing the ball at him,
and snatching it from his hand if he manages to get the ball. They are also yelling and
making fun of him using slang words like "Madman! Donkey! Lunatic!"
The madman doesn't understand what they are saying. He is just happy that he has
people around him, looking at him, talking with him, playing with him. He keeps
on running and jumping after the ball with his innocent smile.
ASIF, a 12 year old boy- who is holding the ball, throws the ball hard at the
madman's head. The madman gets hit on the face, but manages to avoid falling on
the floor with the support of his one knee. All the boys have started laughing. Seeing
them, he also smiles thinking it's a part of the game.
Some boys come towards him, look at him with disgusted eyes and push him hard
to make him fall flat on the ground while saying,
"Hey lunatic! What's so funny? Stop laughing!!!"
As the madman falls on the ground, an angry yelling voice pierced through the boys
hearts from a distance,
"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE ALL DOING?"
The boys look at the direction of the sound and see a man- in his 20s, with brown
Skin, 5'6" in height, has curly medium long hair, wearing black spectacles and black
gloves on both hands- is running towards them.
Before they could do anything, the man grabs Asif's neck.
Asif's face got pale at once. Fear covers his eyes like lightning. His lips are shaking
and words have lost their ways to come out . Other boys have already started to run
in the opposite direction out of their natural survival instinct.
But the man shouts again,
"Oiiii! COME HERE YOU ALL!!!"
All the kids paused on the spot at once as if their body isn't listening to their mind
but listening to a predator from whom they can't run away no matter what.
All of them have turned and are now coming back slowly while trembling in fear.
Asif is also shivering in fear like his whole world will just end here.
He looks at the man's eyes and gets afraid even more. He can't breathe anymore as
the claws of the predator are blocking his life force to act normally, he is fainting
slowly. With all his courage and strength he finally says,
"Amir brother, trust me— I didn't do anything!"
With one hand, AMIR lifts and throws Asif on the floor. Before Asif could get up,
Amir sits in front of him and says with a calm but bone-chilling cold voice,
"Am I blind to you?"
Asif, trembling in fear, starts coughing. Amir grabs his shirt and pulls him closer,
then whispers to his left ear,
"Answer me— brother! I don't — like — repeating — questions!!!"
Asif with his trembling scared voice replies,
"No— brother, you aren't blind!"
Amir turns around Asif and stands behind him. Then he puts of his hand from
Asif's shirt. Asif at once takes some deep breath through his mouth. But before he
could calm down and collect all his thoughts, Amir grabs Asif's nose and covers his
mouth with the same hand and whispers to his left ear again,
"Then— why did you— lie?"
Asif can't breathe, he is fainting. He can't think anything straight. He is feeling like-
one wrong step now will be the end for him, he can't even make eye contact with
Amir, he's just staring at other kids as they are also scared to make a single step to
run away.
Tears are dropping from Asif's eyes from both sides. He feels like the freedom of sun
in the wide blue sky is slowly shrinking, getting blurred and turning into a caged
eclipse. He can also hear his own heart screaming loudly and continuously for some
hope to devour.
But the ghastly whisper from a predator knocks on his mind again saying,
"Where's the answer? "
Amir's whispers become colder than before, like it's piercing through Asif's mind
and heart at the same time with invincible threads of abandoned abyss. Asif begins
tapping on Amir's hand as he is suffocating with pain in his veins.
Amir finally removes his hand from Asif's mouth and Asif takes a very deep breath to
fill his screaming heart of mind and says,
"Sorry brother— it was our fault!"
Amir smiles with cold eyes and lets him loose. Asif starts coughing. Amir points his
hand and directs other boys to come closer. All the boys slowly start coming closer
with fear in their mind thinking– it's now– their turn to get beaten and also feeling
shame in their veins for their deeds with weak ones.
But as they are getting nearer, Amir's expression changes from a predator to an
innocent kind man. He smirks and puts his hand on Asif's head. Slowly rubbing
Asif's head, he says to everyone with a calm and kind voice,
"Never hurt anyone if he doesn't hurt you first, Understood champs?"
The boys, seeing Amir's gentle face and hearing his gentle voice, become really happy
As they were rescued from a wild animal. Cheerfully they say which voices of
happiness,
"Yes, brother!"
Amir pauses for a moment, looks at the madman, takes a sigh, then looks back at the
Boys with sad eyes. Then he points at the madman and says to them,
"And also, treat a madman with kindness,
who knows, when- THE FATE- might twist your mind the same way?"
The boys look sad and embarrassed, out of guiltiness they put their head down and
says,
"Sorry brother— we admit our mistakes!!"
Amir stares at them for a while, and then gives a bright smile and says,
"As a punishment for what you guys did today,
you can't play on full court for all day,
So just stay on the right half side and play.
Now go~"
As the punishment is lighter than they thought, the boys also smile and yell,
"Ok, brother Amir—"
Then the boys run to the right side to play.
On the left side of the court, the madman is sitting on the floor and staring at Amir.
Then Amir walks towards him. As he is getting closer, the madman is shivering in
Fear with tears.
Amir smirks and moves his hand like waves towards the madman's scared face.
Getting more frightened, he closes his eyes and sits down like a broken egg.
Amir stares and smirks, then takes a basketball and brings it towards the madman's
wimpy soul. The madman opens his eyes, and before his eyes is the ball, then he
looks at Amir with confusion thinking it's an illusion.
But seeing such gentle eyes of Amir, an unknown bright smile of belief rises on the
madman's face without him realizing . Amir also gives a bright smile then puts his
hand on the madman's head and rubs his hair. While caressing his hair Amir says
with a gentle voice,
"Yo–Don't be afraid— I won't hurt you."
The madman glares at Amir with confused eyes.
Amir then leans towards him and softly says,
"You want to play with me? Little King.
Cause today this whole half-court on the left side is yours-"
The madman's face lights up, he smiles, nods and looks up. Amir offers him a
hand to stand up and says,
"Then get up and let's play~"
The madman smiles brightly and gets up to play. Both of them are playing and
laughing, Amir is also teaching him some tricks of dribbling and shooting.
In the background, a voice echoed from as sourceless Void of creations-
"As kids, we were told stories of liars,
To be aware of the BAD PEOPLE who hurts others.
But no one never ever told us,
Even those BAD people are afraid of some Creatures,
Who disguise as Human and blend in human societies lectures.
They act, talk, and eat like humans,
but their heart is deeper-
And colder-
than the deepest part of the sea of natures.
As an enemy they are the worst nightmares,
but as friend they are - – - - - "
Amir looks to his right and sees a cripple man (in his 20s, 5'11 inch in height, having
dark skin, silky hair and short beard), limping towards the basketball field.
Amir waves his hand and shouts with a smile,
"Hey Faruq— Over here~"
FARUQ comes closer to Amir with a bag in his hand and says with sadness in his
both eyes,
"Don't you have any mercy in your heart?
How can you grab this little boy's throat?"
Amir looks back at Faruq and his eyes turn cold, almost like a dead fish. He then
says with a deep voice,
"Bullying a bully is the best way to teach arrogants a lesson.
And Kindness is for those who realize their fault on their own~"
Faruq smiles by hiding his sadness behind Amir's word, and then hands over the bag
to Amir.
Amir opens up the bag, takes out the big bottle of cold-drinks and calls Asif. Asif runs
to him. Then he gives the bottle to Asif and said,
"Make sure to share with everyone.
But you can have little bit more than other ones,
cause you took the beating for them."
Asif smiles and runs to the other boys. Faruq also smiles as the sadness has gone
from his eyes at this behaviour of Amir.
Then from the bag Amir pulls out some more drinks and foods, and gives a loaf of
bread and a drink each to Faruq and the Madman.
Getting the food, the madman stares at Amir with a surprised look. Amir pats
madman's head with a gentle smile saying,
"I know you are hungry— eat slowly— don't rush unwisely!"
Then he signaled the madman with his hand to eat. The madman's face glows up
in happiness with satisfaction and gratefulness, he starts to eat fast. Amir slaps him
on the back of his head gently and says,
"Slowly!"
The madman smiles innocently and starts eating slowly. Faruq is watching and
smirking with satisfaction. He then says,
"Won't you eat? I brought it for us-"
Suddenly a memory from the past stabs Amir mind as he sees the madman
munching the bread with pleasure-
{-A Memory of AMIR-}
'A dark room,
A little bit of light is coming-
through the hole from the left corner of the ceiling.
Amir is sitting on the floor and munching something,
like a hungry wild animal- furious with rage
in both of his hands.
The smell of fresh blood is roaming in the air,
While Amir was slurping and licking something with care,
then he puts his both hands on floor's red flood,
And paints his hands with Crimson blood-
HAHAHA—
—--a demonic sound devours the light into darkness'
Amir snaps back, takes a deep sigh and opens up a water bottle, which he gives to the
madman, then looks at FARUK with a smirk and says,
"Food should be only for the hungry ones!"
Hearing that Faruq splits his own bread and gives half of it to Amir and says,
"Food should be only for the hungry ones— right?"
Amir smiles and walks up to a dog on the side of the road and gives the food to the it,
then looks back at Faruq and says,
"You are right— now give me the other water bottle-"
Faruq smiles and he thinks to himself,
"When even the Devil gets confused with your deeds,
who am I to predict your actions!"
and then throws the water bottle in the air at Amir
