The Writer

The writer casts spells as his pen hits the page. Is he blessed or cursed? Or simply deranged? The writer never sleeps he writes in his tower, and people wait for him to toss out a page every hour. They grapple and bite and fight for his words, the mayor wants order he says it's absurd. He hasn't read any pages, he'll simply refuse but the Mayor is unaware of what the pages can do. These words resonate, and dig in like claws. The writer knows this, that's why he keeps writing on. One day the Mayor received a page: "Up in this tower I have all the power, the people are brainwashed and tricked. I hope my words to you stick. So why don't you join them? Instead of annoy them." The Mayor of the town became lost in the crowd, awaiting a page to come down.
