This post is written for Three Line Tales Week 87 hosted by Sonya. The challenge is to write a three line tale for the supplied image.
“When you are angry, raise your hands, keep it back on your mouth” Said the leader in his speech.
A hand went up from the crowd and a gun shot was heard leaving behind a dead silence.
Then another hand went up, only to fall down, sinking and splashing in blood.
Profound! For me,it reflects the illusion of free speech that we are given yet snatched away,all on the whims of certain people who don the role of authority
