Don’t they say, with hard work comes great reward.

    1. LOL 😀 You are spot on. I was wondering why would people use a telephone booth these days… and a ransom call was the first thought! 😀
      Thanks Vinodini!

    1. True that! I guess, criminal or twisted minds think and act differently. They are by nature, irresponsible, impulsive, self-centred, and driven by fear and anger, so weighing all the pros and cons of their actions is not on their agenda, may be!

  1. His troubles are just beginning 🙂 You have used all three picture prompts beautifully in your post, lovely.

  2. SG, you have an interesting way with words and sentence construction to give an eerie feel in a few sentences than with a voluminous crime thriller.

  3. nice one! Some people want shortcuts or rather they are so tired of constant failures that they stop trusting in hard wok and opt for such crimes.

  4. Nicely done, Shilpa. Good little story in the short word count! Bravo!

    Sorry I’ve been negligent of commenting on your blog and others, too. I haven’t even been blogging that much myself. Gotta get back into it.
