RIOT - 55 Fiction

3:35 Saturday
Adyar, Chennai.

Busy traffic. I am waiting for a bus.

Suddenly far away huge cry. A man appears first - running for life. Behind him some 14-15 people with hockey sticks in their hands.

"Somebody please - ha - ha - please - HELP - ..."

Nobody is doing anything.

At the end comes a cameraman filming the action.

[words used : 55 ]

P.S.: I read my first 55 fiction at the White Window. Dedicated to Preetilata.

just a query -
the title and the content dont go together..like why wud people go in bus at the time of riots or such things in front of them

Abhishek Behera said...

thanks for reading...

@ joidevivre : yes. right. wrong title. oops. thanks for pointing out...

by riot I had meant the onset of riot. It's how riots start right? No notices. No prior information. A perfectly normal day - with normal traffic - people traveling in bus.. and then a bunch of religious fanatics just do it.
