The Fascist [ A Short Story ]

 A Fascist is a follower of fascism.

Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-Century Europe.

"Kadda" is a modern Sinhalese colloquial word reflecting the meaning "English Language".

"Kadda", the word is a strong reflection of the fear towards "English language", especially among the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka.

In the "sketch" for the "kadda" language short story [ I have used these Sinhalese colloquial words purposely to arouse a modern use of language among the new generation especially Sinhalese ] many aspects like character arcs, the atmosphere of the story, and some of the dramatization effects were included back in 2010 prior to the writing of the short story.

"The Fascist" short story's incident occurs in an old English bungalow in the hill country of Sri Lanka.

It is a discussion among two characters related to a concentration camp about a moderation in a business transaction to benefit both sides of the business contract by making several amendments to the relevant deal.

In this 'sketch' for the short story back in 2010 I have used the Sinhala word "eka", which reflects the Sinhala word "එක", meaning "number one" or "that thing". It was clearly a manipulation of language to arouse the reader's mind with a local (Sri Lankan) touch. Actually, the sketch was a personal reference document. Therefore many colloquial Sinhalese words were used as personal motivators to move with the short story assignment positively.

Characteristics of the atmosphere related to the short story "The Fascist"

* Top notch, glossy sorrounding, '1940' style architecture. [ A special office for 'the general']

......................................................................................................................................................................

This short story will not depict a time period. It is a story that has an eternal theme among humanities.

......................................................................................................................................................................

The story is a short discussion on canceling the cost-cutting methods introduced by the general on war against a revolution.

As it makes Mr. Nimal, the negotiator run out of business.

But the general disagrees.

The general is a patriot of course a great soldier. A man of his word.

But not a very good human.

Runs a war and concentration camps for a very low cost.

- Fucking hysterical - (Dramatization effects)

......................................................................................................................................................................

Mr. Nimal Wijenayake is an opportunist and a talented businessman.

A very good consumer.

- Takes his moves on his opponent.

[ Like taking a hamper to the general with his favourite chocolates, alcohol and etc. A special fruit basket containing 'dragon fruit'.]

- The general is kind of a sick person (health wise he has identified sicknesses.)
