The City Burns
Night fell with the color of old blood.By midnight, the first explosions painted the skyline --not the distant thuds of hidden wars, but open defiance. A government records office went up in flames, followed by a police armory. Within an hour, the fire had multiplied --spreading like faith, like vengeance.The city burned from its core outward.The Writer’s voice had returned that morning; by evening, his words were prophecy. Anonymous manifestos appeared online, quoting him directly: “Truth demands ash.” It became the rallying cry of thousands --students, ex-soldiers, workers, even children who had grown up under the shadow of corruption.They lit their torches not for destruction, but for cleansing. Or so they believed.Government drones circled overhead, broadcasting curfew warnings that no one obeyed. Streets once ruled by Los Reyes or Hugo’s enforcers now belonged to the mob --a leaderless rebellion born from poetry and rage.From his underground
The Writer’s Voice on the Radio
The morning began like any other under the new “peace.” Commuters trudged through streets still stained with the memory of blood, digital billboards pulsed propaganda about unity and reform, and the news anchors spoke with mechanical warmth about the “nation’s healing.”Then, at exactly 7:17 a.m., the airwaves changed.Every major radio frequency in the city went silent for six seconds --long enough for hearts to pause, for coffee cups to hover midair, for soldiers to glance at one another in sudden unease. Then a voice emerged, soft and deliberate, like ink soaking into paper.“Once, a man built a city of lies and called it order. When it collapsed, he blamed the fire, never the spark.”The cadence was unmistakable --low, precise, hauntingly calm. The Writer.Traffic froze. In cafés and offices, people leaned toward speakers, some gasping, others whispering prayers. In a newsroom downtown, Lucia Navarro dropped her pen, her pulse hammering in her throat. Sh
Diego’s Guilt
The applause was deafening --sterile, hollow, and endless. Cameras flashed, microphones jostled, and Hugo Martinez stood beside Diego Flinch, smiling like a priest at a baptism. The backdrop behind them read in gold letters: REBIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC. Reporters called Diego the prodigal king returned to the people. Hugo introduced him as a man who has chosen peace over pride. The press room shimmered with applause. But under the floodlights, Diego’s face was a portrait carved from stone --unmoved, unreadable. When the questions began, he answered them perfectly. He spoke of unity, of rebuilding, of closing the chapter of violence that had plagued their nation. Every word sounded rehearsed --because it was. But inside, every syllable scraped against him like glass. That night, after the ceremony, Diego returned to his mansion --a fortress now stripped of purpose. The guards were gone, the walls silent. He walked through the marble halls w
Diego’s Funeral
Rain fell the way time does when it wants to forget --slowly, without mercy, washing over marble and mud alike. The capital had not seen a funeral of this scale in years. Every screen, every station, every square showed the same image: a black casket draped in gray silk, not the royal red or gold of the old empire. A single white lily rested on top, trembling each time the rain struck it.They called it a national day of remembrance.They called Diego Flinch a patriot, a visionary, a cautionary tale.But no one called him what he was --the last king in a city that had learned to live without thrones.The streets overflowed with mourners and opportunists, tears and cameras. Soldiers stood at perfect attention beside politicians who had once plotted Diego’s fall. Former gang leaders, now rebranded as businessmen, stood in the front rows in expensive black coats, heads bowed in counterfeit reverence. The church bells tolled with mechanical precision, ringing through an air heavy with
Harold’s Escape
The tunnels beneath the city were veins carved by forgotten wars --damp, echoing, alive with the drip of slow decay. Here, history had no witnesses, only echoes. Harold’s boots pressed through puddles that smelled of rust and memory. His breath came steady, disciplined, each exhale visible in the cold dark.Around him moved what remained of the Ghost Hands --five men reduced from an army of shadows. Their faces were blank beneath respirators; their silence was loyalty sharpened into ritual. Every step they took reverberated through decades of betrayal.Above them, the city pulsed --riots, sirens, celebrations, all stitched together in the name of victory. The government had declared a national holiday to commemorate The Writer’s execution. Streets that once burned with revolt now glittered with banners reading Justice Restored. Fireworks replaced gunfire; applause replaced fear. The illusion was complete.Harold stopped beneath a rusted ladder leading upward. He lifted his head and
Harold Illusion Execution
Morning broke not with sunlight but with screens. Every television, every phone, every digital billboard in the city flickered with the same broadcast: the end of The Writer.A man in a black hood knelt in a concrete courtyard under gray skies. His hands were bound, his head bowed. A firing squad stood in formation --faceless, official, righteous. The air was thick with that ceremonial quiet governments prefer before public death, the hush that turns murder into message.A reporter’s voice trembled through the static:“After a decade of chaos, the man known as The Writer --real name, Harold Flinch --has been executed for crimes of treason, terrorism, and the destabilization of the Republic.”Diego sat alone in his mansion’s panic room, the walls humming with generator light, a glass of something stronger than courage untouched beside him. The feed froze on Harold’s bowed head --that unmistakable posture of a man thinking, always thinking, even in his final second. Diego’s breath s
