White words run down
This a quick summary of what I have thought of so far.
Claudia keels
Is a young woman living in the big city 23years old living alone in her one bedroom apartment right above Mr. Chow's Asian buffet restaurant.
One night she was headed home from her martial arts class she was worn out and tired and as usual carrying too may things. Her purse, her backpack her laptop bag, too much to juggle and be perceptive about her environment on this night she needed to take the back alley way to get to her apartment she didn't notice the two men and hoodies following her into the alleyway before she understood what was happening she felt a knock on her head she fell to the ground and nearly blacked out she was trying to scramble up to her feet when she realized that two people were trying to take all of her bags by the time she can get her head straight and focus on fighting back one of them had already made off with her laptop bag there was one man left in a hoodie she looked up at him as she was squatting down trying to grab hold of her purse which is exactly what the man wanted he grabbed hold of the purse and she looked up at him she couldn't really make out his face but over his head she could clearly see the words floating over his head white words that simply said rio bravo she was thoroughly confused what is rio bravo and why was she seeing that over his head she didn't have time to sort it out right now she chalked it up to symptoms of a head injury she finally slept in the fight back load and grabbed hold of her purse and her backpack very tightly and she pulled of towards her away from the man he decided to get rough and slap her she wanted to laugh i mean does anybody slap anyone anymore she is actually starting to get angry about it he actually chose to slap her like she was some kind ofbitch ."slap me again and I'll kill you. She was taunting him and it worked he raised his hand up for another slap this time grabbing hold of her neck with hisleft hand. "Fool" she thought. Exactly why she wanted. Exactly thecpositionig she's been training in in class. He swings his hand down she blocks his wrist steps into him, and palm strikes his chin. She still sees the words above his he'd floating over and slightly behind his head. Even as she hits his chin his head flinging back from the strike. He leans forward a little, she locks eyes with him. She says it "what is Rio bravo?, he looks confused. She slaps him. The words disappear and are replaced with new white words, Elmore. " who's Elmore? He looks even more confused. She's curious now, she slaps him again to see if the words change. Nothing. Still Elmore. She hears laughter behind her. It's mr. Chow. I called the police when i saw you were in trouble but you should probably let him go now because now it just looks like you're beating someone in the alley he breaks free and the hoodlum runs away with a very confused look on his face claudia turns and looks directly atmosphere child thinking that maybe she would seem more words above him but there is nothing.
Claudia spend the rest of her week seeing words hovering over different people the same white print different words over different people but not everyone she doesn't fully understand what happening she goes to see a therapist and she explains to the therapist what she is seeing and the therapist has never heard of anything like this the therapist explains there are some brain injuries that could result in someone seeing things but he's never heard of this and she has a bump on her head but no real brain injury the therapist thinks that maybe it's just a part of her being and shock and it's all on her machination but she continues about a normal daily routine every once in a while bumping into someone that has words over their head she is sitting in a restaurant and the tv at the bar is playing the news in the news broadcast is reporting about 200 people that have been murdered and she recognizes the 200 people those were two people that she saw on the subway two days ago. She starts to see a pattern the people that she sees words over their heads and of dying eventually she ends up at a used video store and she sees an old movie poster for the movie rio bravo she sees on the wall of the video store it plaque for employee of the month and a picture in a picture frame of that employee and she recognizes the man but she was slapping from the other night she asks some of the employees about him and learns that his name is johnny now she can't help but dig a little further she finds his address and goes there not really sure what she's going to find or even why she's just trying to understand what these words are about she gets to the street corner where his apartment is and she bumps into a guy wearing an automatic shirt she apologizes for pomping into him she looks at his shirt and sees the name elmore on his shirt elmore looks panicked when he looks directly at her instinctively she decides to ask him if he was there to see johnny. He panics he gets very confused and angry he starts yelling at her what are you doing here johnny's dad alright are you happy? she says words form above elmo's had the word worm she immediately jumps on it and looks directly into his eyes and says what is worm? as soon as his she says worm elmo's eyes widened in shock and a new word appears buxton street is now floating above his head she realizes that elmore is the other guy that was with johnny that attacked her she yells to him how did johnny die? she continues didn't have anything to do with buxton street elmore panics at this he yells back who the hell are you ? What do you want? this is a setup isn't it? did johnny and warm set this up that night that
we mugged you. This is some lkind of shakedown. What do you want? You want me to tell you I miles johnny?
Look! I did what I had to do.
the rest of claudius week is about her trying to continue to understand the words so the next person she sees that has words above their had she decides to make friends with them see if she can find a connection with the words that she sees above their heads and what she discovers is that everytime she pursues that person and inquiries about the words above their head she ends up saving that person's life from being murdered eventually she figures out that there is one particular person killing all of these people and then she's contacted by her therapist and she finds out that her therapist has learned about other people that are experiencing the same phenomena they are seeing words then it gets really weird when her best friend chucky confesses to her that he is been experiencing unexpected and uncontrollable rage but only towards certain people she sees white words above certain people but he sees red x's over certain people and it's those people that have read access over them that for some reason he feels this uncontrollable urge to attack them she tells all of this to her therapist and hurt therapist freaks out and tries to kill her with a knife he explains to her that he understands this uncontrollable urge because he has it too he doesn't see why words or red axis he sees green check marks over certain people and those are the people that he feels the need to not just attack but to murder she starts to form a theory she goes back to find elmore and she finds out that the reason why elmo and johnny attacked her was because johnny started seeing red axis over people and johnny would just attack people that he thought had a red x and elmore started accompanying him to keep him from going too far and that night johnny seo are red x over claudius had and that's why he attacked her elmore realized that the more this continued the more violent johnny would get and then one day elmore saw a green check mark over johnny's head and it became clear that he needed to kill johnny claudia realizes that there are hordes of people in the city who are either seeing red exes or green checks and only a few that see white words red exes attack but do not kill, those who see green checks feel the urge to kill and people who see white words tend to be protectors and are able to talk to those who see red exes those who see red exes only attack but grow violent enough to start seeing green checks. It is clear to Claudia that a quiet war is brewing between two sides and she must work with other white word seers to stop this.
