Forgery #AtoZChallenge @AprilA2Z

My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Crime Stories in 55 Words. Today’s story, F is for Forgery…

55 Fiction

“Dear People. Don’t cry. I’m taking a nap which is going to last till eternity…”

Tears cloud my vision as I read my girlfriend’s suicide note for the nth time.

The detective reminds me to identify her handwriting.

I nod in agreement.

It’s hard to suppress a smile as I admire my handwriting forgery skills.

    1. Oh, I am sure that the long arm of the law is going to tap to his shoulders sometimes soon. Thanks Manisha!

  1. I sure hope he doesn’t get away with it. The body will surely go for postmortem examination, and they will suspect foul play. And, based on all the crime fiction I’ve read and seen so far, the boyfriend will be one of the first suspects. This, in fact, could be the prelude of a brilliant crime fiction novel.

  2. This one is my favorite of all of your posts so far! I love the words on her suicide note: ‘I’m taking a nap which is going to last till eternity…’ Simply super 😀

  3. its sad, suicide always gives me a lot of pain, coz its the most preventable form of death, like the way you present the crime series, hats off shilpa !!

    1. Suicide is devastating. But looks like this one isnt suicide.
