THE OBNOXIOUS MR. AAYDAL

The biggest threat to a writer is Mr. Aaydal walking into his/her life. He has a weird face much worse than the most dreaded monsters described in old legends. Mr. Aaydal is an expert in adapting himself to the changing tides of time. He positions himself in every agency/corporate house/communication designers, where writers are found slogging it hard to make ends meet. His grim appearance sends shivers down the spines of writers. Be it in the brightness of a day or in the darkness of a night, Mr. Aaydal becomes the shadow of a writer.

People are always found talking or being very curious about how Mr. Aaydal finds his way into swanky offices. These offices are no less than digital fortresses that are protected by password complying doorways. Passwords can never shoo off Mr. Aaydal. He is ageless and has lived eternally through the times; civilisation started taking shape in this world. Mr. Aaydal has always been interested in the form of writing and has been on a mission to challenge the existence of writers.

Mr. Aaydal has found a mention in the writings of modern and ancient authors. He is strategic. He stages his inception in great style. Once he finds a place in the writer’s life, nothing of the writer is spared. Slowly, Mr. Aaydal starts manipulating the writer’s actions. He wrongs every right and imperfects the perfection. He has exterminated the mightiest and the weakest of writers. The weakest could not face the force; Mr. Aaydal has always subjected them to. The mightiest did try to resist but in the end gave up.

Writers who committed heinous crimes, attempted suicide, slaughtered their pens, immolated their manuscripts or suffered a paralysis attack always wished they would never had allowed Mr. Aaydal to gatecrash into their lives. They had no choice because Mr. Aaydal just entered their lives.

Mr. Aaydal has also from time to time helped employers or publishers to do away with writers. He has self appointed himself and vowed to make life miserable for numerous writers. Mr. Aaydal is an expert in self cloning too. He can be found all over the world at the same time, causing harm to writers. Some debate, Mr. Aaydal is a myth. But very few know he is a harsh reality and a dark truth. Experts protest that Mr. Aaydal doesn’t self invite but is welcomed by writers to shun the chores they are entrusted with. Mr. Aaydal conspires, Mr. Aaydal threatens and Mr. Aaydal devastates. Especially when it is appraisal time, Mr. Aaydal activates his venom filled lungs and spits on the many performance sheets of writers. This leads to two probabilities: 1) Dismissal and 2) Demotion. After a final decision of the writer’s fate is being conveyed to him, he gets a nausea attack. As the writer steps out of the cubicle to run towards the restroom, Mr. Aaydal prevents him from making it on time. The writer collapses on his knees and starts pleading to Mr. Aaydal that he wants to survive for his own self, for his family. But Mr. Aaydal doesn’t believe in mercy. He only believes in merciless tactics. Mr. Aaydal makes a roll of unattended papers then thrusts it into the mouth of the writer. The writer starts choking. His eyes start showing towards the sky and turn bloodshot. The writer starts experiencing insurmountable pain. His nerves and veins poised tend to burst out. His heart starts pounding ceaselessly. Suddenly he plunges into darkness and couldn’t let the vomit eject out of his mouth. Mr. Aaydal starts putting pressure on the writer’s throat, keeps pressing it and gains success in killing the writer.

After this ghastly act, Mr. Aaydal stands firm on his feet. He takes a few step then turns back to see if the writer is dead or alive. If he senses a movement, he waits and once again tries to strangulate the writer till he breathes his last. Mr. Aaydal then finally stands up, kicks the writer’s body to confirm that it is lifeless then smartly walks out of the office in search of his next target, the next writer, the next victim.

The above mentioned technique of murder is just one of the favourite techniques; Mr. Aaydal is very fond of to slay writers. His other techniques are far more heinous. The most affluent the writer, the most brutal is the death.

Mr. Aaydal refuses to leave this world because he too is under a spell to destroy writers. But he never repents his action. He was created to make writers understand that hard work is always not rewarded with precious rewards. Mr. Aaydal is not a friend, he is a foe. I being a writer myself feel too vulnerable to Mr. Aaydal. Though he is supposed to arrive unannounced, I can sense he is very much around. I am equally tense how brutal he would be, when it comes to me being a victim of his outrage and his mission to silence writers like us.

Let God be with the writers.
