Time Travelling Business
#WritcoStoryPrompt47
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Revival by Stephen King:
He unlocked a door and led me through an office that was empty of furniture, although I could still see square clean patches on the grimy linoleum, where the legs of a desk had once stood. On the wall was a curling calendar with April 1989 showing beside a stunning statue. A majestic statue of an angel with fabricated pale wings on it has lit up the courage in me; a courage to unleash my inner self.
"So, what do you think about this infrastructure sir?" Asked by the landlord with lots of watch on his arms. I wonder what he used that for.
"It is wonderful! But, why is the calendar still on 1989? If you don't mind me asking, mister." I scanned the whole room with my eyes especially the area where the angel statue stands.
He cleared his throat and showed me his stoic face. "We are on the year 1989, mister time traveler. Have you ever forgotten or you got fooled by that angel?"
I looked at the area where I remembered the statue stands and saw nothing in there.
"Fooled..." I said as I stare on the ground.
Those courage that I felt when I saw it vanished and left me embarassed and question myself. I never thought a statue that replicates an angel can do that to me in just a blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, you are not the only one. I, myself have once got fooled and mesmerized by that statue the first time I land on 1989. But did you know that its intention is not to fool others but to encourage you to evaluate yourself in a higher perspective? Mama said that those who felt fooled are the lost." He pats my back and pointed out the area where the statue stands earlier.
"Really? Your mama must be smart." I smiled and followed the direction of his hand.
"No..." I tilt my head towards his face.
"What do you mean?" It made me confused big time!
"She also got fooled that's why she knows! Silly." Oh, that makes sense though.
Wait, I am here to buy an infrastructure for my business isn't it? What have you done to me angel? Angel number 1989.
