Chapter 1 - The Hearts of Stone

Who has a Heart of Stone ?

What is the definition of a heart of stone ?

People say, a person who can take life of other people , definitely possess a heart of stone. A person who can can take someone's life without giving it a second thought

Must be executed before getting hands on more lives.

An article in a newspaper in favor of the decision taken by the new government to execute assassins guilty for taking innocent lives.

"The past leaders used to silence those who used raise voice against them with the help of these hearts of stone who can forget and kill there own blood just for one thing Money.

It is so disgusting that there are people who enjoy taking lives of other human beings. These people just take one life but they also do destroy the lives associated with it." A T.V Reporter

"The grief of a Father who because of the society can't even show it. He pretends to be strong So that he can be there for the weeping mother for whom the life that was just taken for some money and for gaining a little pride for was her whole world. Maybe last night, she was laughing hard with family with her child who was just sacrificed to fulfill someone's pride, to fulfill someone's desire for pleasure that comes from killing people. Paper in any form can be dangerous. I have seen children crying for parental love.

(the words of an activist expressing over the conditions of the parents of the victims during a public conference)

"A few days back, When I was going to all my fellow activists, all my fellow humanitarians, asking for opinions to get to a conclusion and prepare a proper counter attack to this system where human lives are just small offerings to the fire. For enjoyment, For fulfilling a person's stupid bloodlust.

Humanity is being kept as if it is there prostitute,

throwing it at everyone for getting pleaure. Even a prostitute has a heart that can love people.

A prostitute never gives up her heart. No money can buy a heart full of love but stones c an be purchased easily in markets. Stones of evey shape and colour

They just have different pricing.

When I knocked the door of one of my friend

Mr Raven Potts who was in the front row asking questions which very common man of this world should ask to those leaders, who always thought of us as subjects. What is the value of our lives? Raven's children opened the door the saying "We were waiting for you you didn't even inform us that u will be coming late". That meant Raven was not home for quite sometime his family was worried for him.

I was about to fell down the children came dashing

to open the door. They hugged me tight I felt so happy I remembered the time when my son Jonathan used to do that I was always late to home and see today I don't have a home to return. Jonathan was killed by an assassin to break me. Raven was found dead a few hours later in a garbage dumpster near a bakery. He must be carrying a cake for his children as a sorry for coming home late. five shots on his chest one on his forehead. He was a good father he ran in the opposite direction of his home. Even in his last moments he thought of his family. He kept their life as the top priority.

Jonathan was shot on his birthday.

unlike Raven I failed as a father I ran towards my house for my safety. I was the last one to reach at my son's birthday party. He was angry I think so and as I knocked before opening the door he came running towards to open. He didn't even wait for opening the door I could hear him saying "I was waiting for you daddy You are so late everyone came Iike an hour before. They were asking where for you. My friends are eager to see you. Daddy you always do that."

I said to him "open the door first I'm sorry for coming late ur present.... he cut me in the middle of my sentence." He reached by the door stopped there and said "Dad I told you last night I don't want any presents.

I only want to you to be there now come on let's celebrate". As he opened the door I saw his lively smile but damn myself I didn't notice that there was still an assassin following me. He pointed his gun towards me, I felt chills I think he didn't even gave it a second thought maybe the weight of notes was heavier than humanity, heavier than mercy Maybe feeling which that the heart of stone gets from killing someone. Maybe the pleasure of fulfilling one's bloodlust far surpasses the feelings of a father. Paper has more emotions than a human I was confirmed it that day. He fired a shot but I don't know was it the assassinwho was a good for nothing, not even able to shoot a tired man who ran all the way down the streets or my sulking luck that for the first time I was able to dodge something bad coming towards me.

The bullet hit Jonathan straight in the center of his forehead. Everything stopped at that moment. I saw him falling slowly, it was so sudden that the lively innocent smile on my boy's face didn't even had time to vanish. In one moment I was seeing him falling, in the other I held him. It only took a moment for my son to die. He once asked me to take him for shooting games. I thought he was gaining interest in guns, him being an eight year old kid and also considering the scenerio of the society that time I promised to take him when he will be a teenager.

He was happy, he said it will be the best gift. He was really really an innocent kid considering that the best gift. just two years later on his tenth birthday I gave the best gift possible. I made him meet his Mom, who died at the time of his birth just ten minutes later. Her last words were "see our child looks so cute, da.aa..mm..nnn mmmmy.....my eyes damn myself not even being able to see him clearly. Honey he looks so charming when my vision is blurred. How charming he must be looking let me please, I....II... can't breathe. It hurts, it hurts, it really really hurts honey, it is so painful, it is pathetic. Honey you have many names on your mind for this lovely creation of God but it is my wish please name him Jonathan as he is the ultimate gift of God. Honey you said don't leave this early, Not so fast but you this pain I can't bear it anymore. This pain is taking so much time killing me. Death is so cruel honey, all the happy moments I would spend with my boy are flashing infront of eyes as it is getting dark.

Ahhh I remember like that movie theater we both used to go. Thank you for all those moments please don't cry now for me,my pain is vanishing. I will not say give this boy a happy life because I know you very well. U will be the best father like you were a good husband, a good partner. Sorry for leaving this early"

She then left this cursed world with a happy smile. She trusted me to take care of our son. She left him to me and in my arms I saw her trust taking it's last breathe. What was my son's fault I to ask you all what was the fault of my Son. What was the fault of Raven's children they were waiting for their Daddy.

These people who lack a soul just take lives. They don't even answer the questions. The one who killed Raven was not there to tell his children, his wife about his death. I saw it with my bare eyes,how those children cried,how their mother held them in her arms

The three of them were in tears of pain.

It is just ridiculous that a person who is unknown to you. Just for some money comes in your life and take the most important part out of it.

Like Raven's family and mine, many other lives have been ruined and many more are in danger. Maybe, out here, someone can be the next Raven. Someone can witness the next Jonathan.

Don't You all think that these people should be punished. They should be given a punishment infront of everyone. So, no one even dares to turn into a heart of stone. I Conwell Richardson as the leader of this PURIFIERS OF SOCIETY association ask you that are we right that these assassins should be executed in public. So that they can also feel the fear of death. When they will ask for mercy and they will not even get a glimpse of it. When these criminals of humanity will see that what it is like to stand in front of death who is merciless, who is cruel. I want to see that fear on their facesalso know that many of you are so kind that you will still feel for them. Your kind heart will not allow you but we will have to be strong, we will have to keep our kindness aside. We should not stop ourselves.

"Yes.... Yes.... Yes...."

"We are with you"

"You are right"

(The massive crowd roared after listening to Conwel.l

Conwell's words ignited a flame in the hearts of everyone listening to him.)

Is Conwell a great leader ?He was able to touch everyone's emotional self. He is the choreographer of the performance that is going to take place.

"Thank you to everyone, I am so sorry not being able to see you all clearly it is all blur. I know when I will die and meet Mandy she will be very angry, She will be disappointed I broke her trust. You all can day that it all my sorry to her. One of the main reason I am doing all this is that I can look into her beautiful eyes.

If I will ever get a chance to meet my Jonathan and Mandy at the gate of heaven as they both must be there in heaven. Mother and Son must be having a great time together. As I have done such a great sin of breaking the trust of my wife,I will definitely depart to hell but actually there is no hell bigger than living without them. I want to do this as a small repayment to my sin. So that I can atleast beg to see them both at the gate of heaven and say sorry. Then finally departing to hell after embracing them for one last time that's my wish."

(The things are in proceedings but in a different way.

Assassins found guilty for killing people for money are being sent to places marked for executions. However, the twist is that all these assassins have things in common. Each of them have been found guilty of killing someone close to the Purifiers and are related to the previous regime.

Maybe it is not a purification of society but the purification of grudges.)

[Six of such assassins have been found guilty. They are being taken to a place in a market for execution by stones people will be throwing at them.

"Killing of stones with stones of emotions"

Conwell will be joining them in this 7 days long journey. He wants to know learn ,what is engraved on the hearts of stone? is it only money or what is a stone now once was a beating human heart.

He wants to know,how that assassin felt after killing Jonathan?]

It will be interesting to see whether he will get his answers or something great is waiting for him.

As these people are really interesting.

To be continued....
