It Is Time For The Freewrite To End II (5 minute freewrite)

The Radio And The Palimpsest

If you missed part 1, then I have something to tell you. Whilst you are all enjoying a retreat in a house in Philippines, a group led by Mr White is plotting to destroy the freewrite community. His first job is to root out a suspected mole.

Part 1

Prompt: palimpsest
Definition of palimpsest.
1 : writing material (such as a parchment or tablet) used one or more times after earlier writing has been erased.

“There is one problem that we must deal with first,” explains Mr White. “There is a mole in the room. Someone from the freewrite is amongst you. We need to find that person and deal with them.”

He pulls a razor out of his pocket.

“There's another problem,” suggests Mr Black. “There's no radio.”

“That ruins the scene entirely,” says Mr White. “I need some music to dance to. I'll get on the phone to Mr Brown, he always has radios.”

Mr White makes the call. “Hi mate, it's Mr White, what radios have you got for me?”

Mr Brown answers. “What is this time? Another mole? I've a great model I think you'll love. I'll pop it over in a bit.”

Meanwhile, whilst they are waiting, Mr Indigo is playing with a palimpsest.

“What on earth is that?” asks Mr Green.

Mr Indigo replies, “it is a palimpsest. It keeps me calm.”

“Then why are you writing 'The Scream’’ on it?” asks Mr Green.

Let's take the story thousands of miles away to Baguio City, Philippines. A place high in the mountains. It is not far from San Fabian, the place of the retreat for the freewrite community.

It would take about 3 hours to get to Baguio City from San Fabian, but only 2 hours to return home. Driving down the mountain requires considerable skill.

Mr Neil loves Baguio City because he can have his own peace and a good night's sleep. It is usually around 8 Degrees Celsius cooler than the land at sea level.

He is taking a leisurely walk, when he sees a woman in black running towards him. She doesn't look friendly, so Mr Neil decides to make a run for it. He manages to lose her and makes his way to the bus.

The bus leaves for San Fabian and Mr Neil breathes a sigh of relief. The headphones go on and music is playing. But, as the bus is traveling down the mountain, a motorcycle passes the bus then swerves in front of it.

The driver of the bus manages to turn into a car park where people usually stop for a toilet break.

The motorcycle follows and parks right next to the bus door. It is the woman in black.

To be continued.
