VOICES

Prologue: Voices
"Ha Haa...Ha..Haa..Haa!" The laughter echoed after him. He was running like a man condemned to a certain death. He ran blindly, desperately through the swirling mist trying to get away from that mocking laughter. But it relentlessly followed him. In the dim flicker of the streetlights one could see his pink pinstriped suit as he ran. A passing car by the expressway shone light on his face. It bore garish white face paint, the trademark of Gotham's most notorious gang:
THE JOKERZ.
Then he slipped and fell, rising only to be felled by a blow from some unseen hand.
He slowly rose." Who's there?" He demanded." Who?"
More laughter.
"You ripped off that poor man in the park, Carter Wilson", a voice said.
The thug looked unnerved. "How do you know my name?" he asked the invisible speaker.
"You then shot the man in the park. Did you really think you'd get away with it?" the voice continued.
The man was by now quite afraid. He searched in vain for the owner of the voice. All he could see against the background of the streetlights was a cloaked shape of blackness.
"Did you really think I wouldn't find out? Now, Carter Wilson I would like you to turn yourself in. Understood? Or else I'll be back to haunt you in every room, every street, until you die. For no one is safe from my hands. No one can hide from me.Ha.. Ha.. Ha................."
The laughter faded into the night leaving the thug perplexed on the pavement.
