KNOCK FROM THE PAST

"THE WORST COMBO FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE PAST AND STRUGGLE FULL PRESENT"

VOICE OVER

It's better to live your life according to your terms & that everyone wants too, but what the problem is, life is not a bed of roses, and there will always not happen what you want, struggle is a must... Sometimes it tests your patience & sometimes it gives you punishment, you never know!

Penguin Publishers is one of the best publishing houses I have ever seen. They publish good work and appreciate it as well. I saw a man with middle height & fine figure was all set for his turn. He was excited like his story had already been published. The publisher called him and he went towards the seat while reading his work. The publisher was showing no emotions as he was very serious about the work.

"What is the genre of your story? Mystery or Comedy." The publisher asked, being annoyed after reading his work.

"It's, its mystery, interesting right!" He asked while stammering.

"Not at all, it's baseless! Mr. ROBERT FROST, this is not a story. For a second I thought it was a comedy, sorry my words are harsh, but the truth should be said it is trash. This is basically nothing. You may leave, and make sure to differentiate between Mystery & Comedy." The publisher got angry & left from there to cool himself.

ROBERT FROST POV

After getting disheartened again, I drove back to my place. It's nothing new, being a writer. Oh sorry! A struggling writer I faced a lot or I say I am facing a lot. Publishing a mystery story is one of dreams & now becoming passion, and day by day it is increasing, but my efforts are not turning into a development. I think my life is punishing me for something bad I did, which eventually I didn't remember. Ah! My bad, I know. I hardly earn enough to live a contented life. All these thoughts were roaming in my mind while getting ready for my job. I went to the cafe and started taking orders, as today was Friday, so the cafe was houseful and the whole staff was busy with their service.

"Any progress in your struggling career? " My friend asked.

"Nothing, they said no as always" I frowned.

"They definitely don't have an eye for talent" he said consoling me

"Yeah stop it" I said while blushing it was comforting.

"Anyways Bro I will be going to Lostwood for a few days till Thanksgiving, will you cover my shift Mom is getting old so she wants some attention" I said shortly.

"Don't worry, I got your back, make sure to have an amazing time with your mom" he said while tapping on my back

I was on my way to house after my shift. I got a call from a stranger, who told me to meet him ASAP. I thought why would someone call me like that than he message me that he is a producer & he wants to meet me. I went there and found a man in a red t-shirt and black jeans. His appearance was fine but I couldn't digest the fact that he was wearing a cap.

"I have read your story & I want to produce it on big screens." He said in a cold way.

"You liked it?" I asked in an excited way, because I just got rejected in morning.   

"I just said I want to project your work on big screen, so definitely I like it" he made his point

"Thank u, Thank u so much but I need time to think" I said folding hands in front of him and being hard to get I don't know why I did it.

"It my Business card give me a call after making up you mind I am so ready to rock this" he said in a cool way.

"Never beg infront of anyone,not everyone will show mercy on you, my personal experience!" He said & left.

I felt like his words have thousands of mysteries which no one knows. He is here for something or someone which actually connected to his cold & Mysterious attitude,I reached home thinking of this mystery man aka soon to be my laider to climb up. While I was opening the door of my house,my eyes caught some thing, I kneel down and found a letter there,I opened it with wide eyes,

"WHY DON'T U WRITE A THRILLER

FROM YOUR PAST,IT WILL BE A

HIT"

After reading the letter shiver ran down in my spine and my whole body got freeze, my mind got back at the moment from where I was running from.

FLASH BACK

"What will we do now,we did a disaster,we are doomed" A girl said

"We have to take him to the hospital or or to inform police or he will be dead" I said

"Yeah! Let's take him to the hospital & inform his parents too, we will tell principal about it too" a girl agreed too.

"Are u guys mad! If we tell this to anyone we will be in prison for attempt to murder,we have to run away & make sure not to about this to anyone" a boy said.

"But what about him,he is lying in pool of blood" I said

"He is already dead & we can't risk our lives for him, and now we will never meet again!" A boy said

Is the mystery guy related to their past?

Guess the flashback characters..
