2. Who is the Killer?

-

 #2

You have decided to examine the crime scene before starting the interrogation. After hours of examination, you were compiling everything as a report…

               It was a two BHK flat which was located in the heart of the city where many VIPs like actors, directors, politicians live. Inside the house, there was the main hall for guests, two bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a kitchen, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the entire city. Her flat was on the 13th floor of the apartment.

               She was lying dead on her bathtub. It was filled with water. She died while taking a bath. The forensic team analysed her body for external injuries. There were no physical injuries. There were two glasses and a bottle of wine on the table. The police thought she might get drunk and fell unconscious while taking a bath in the tub. After searching the house further, we found some strange markings on her bedroom walls in a different language. There were some drawings as well.

               In those drawings, there were two different types of drawings. One is colourful and happy. The other was dark and sad. Both drawings were about an old woman with a baby in her hand. There were some inscriptions on the floor written in a strange language. It was clear that she had a belief in stuff like black magic.  Her body was taken by the forensic team for a detailed study for evidence.

               The director and the actress were the prime suspects. There was no evidence for their presence during the time of the crime. The police were still trying to find some. They were so curious to prove any one of them killed her. They should think out of the box. There were no physical injuries or any traces of physical abuse. There were two glasses and a wine bottle which means, someone was having a drink with her. What about those strange markings and inscriptions? Was she practicing Blackmagic?

               This case is gonna screw us up.

End of the report…

               After compiling the report, you noticed someone knocking at your door. When you opened the door, none was there except a small piece of paper with a note, ‘Catch me if you can Mr. Detective.’

Aye! Sinaamika

It was around three hours to midnight. I was walking along a road that was dark and inhabited. I could hear the noise of katydids and crickets chirping here and there. I was afraid to walk alone along that spooky road. I touched my heart to feel how fast it was beating. My skin started releasing the potion of fear. I was biting my lips out of nervousness. I was afraid to take even a single step. Suddenly, I received a call. ‘Hey! Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I am at the entrance, standing alone, afraid to take even a single step.’ I said. ‘I am at the restaurant, waiting for you,’ he said. ‘It’s too dark here, I am afraid of this locality. Can you come and pick me?’ I asked. ‘Hey, you are a brave girl, right? You are just a few metres away from me. Just close your eyes and start walking,’ he said. I felt safe talking to him. His voice drove me mad and it made me do whatever he told me. I was stating my every single step and he was giving me confidence and courage. Eventually,...

Years after quarantine

A letter to the next generation Hey! decades passed, but the world is still in quarantine. When you were reading this letter in the future, I won't be there for you to hold and rub your cold hands to make you feel warm. I have been counting on my final strokes of breath. My eyes turned pale as there is none to cure my cataract. My legs stopped obeying my brain. My brain has announced its retirement. It has stopped its work one by one. All that I could do is just sit, lie on my bed and see the stars that I pasted on the walls when I am at the age of yours. My dear grandchildren decades ago, the earth was beautiful. It was filled with lots and lots of green trees, forests, animals, birds, and humans as well. But we, humans, didn't realise that nature is for each and every living being. We started using each and every resource that mother earth gave to her children without leaving for others. This created cancer on mother earth. Which made her angry. Then the day arrived, th...

After clicking the publish button on the interface, she desperately wanted to close her laptop and doze off. But it was then, she noticed something strange on her screen. It was Instagram with a red dot on top of it. She clicked to open it. There was a message from someone called Javier.       ‘She’s coming.’      ‘7 nights and 6 days,' was the message from that person. She was too tired to think about that message. She just closed the lid of the laptop and dozed off to sleep.  The next morning,      The clock was running past eight and she was still sailing deep in sleep. It was then, her mobile started ringing so loud as it used to ring all the time. After a few rings, she realised it and woke up to answer that call. It was Bharath.      ‘What’s the matter? Let ...
