Title: The Last Message
image
Scene 1: The Unexpected Text
The phone buzzed at 11:59 PM. It was an unknown number. The message said:
"Tomorrow, at noon, your life will change forever. Be ready".
Staring at the screen in heart palpitations, he was unsure whether this was a prank or a mistake. He typed back: Who is this, and he got no reply.
Scene 2: A Race Against time.
Aman couldn't concentrate the next morning. He kept looping in thoughts regarding the text. At 11:45 in the morning, yet another text came :
"Go to the old clock tower. Alone."
Fear was subsumed by curiosity. He rushed toward the destination, his pulse accelerating with every step.
Scene 3: The Stranger's Secret.
Right at noon, an old man came with a dusty envelope that was to be given to him: "This is for you," said the man.
It had a letter from Aman's grandfather that had died five years back. It spoke about a hidden truth-a heritage, forgotten family promise and responsibility which Aman didn't know existed.
The message had changed everything.
Scene 4: The Beginning of a New Journey.
While reading the last lines, Aman's phone buzzed for the final time.
"Your journey has just begun. Trust no one."
The number disappeared from WhatsApp. Aman looked around-the fact that he was isolated gave a kind of claustrophobic feel surrounding him-had he been followed? All of this was just a start to the adventure.
Would he dare to follow the clues?
