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…
“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.
You can check out my A-Z posts thus far by clicking on a highlighted letter!

April 7, 2017 10:02 am|
OMG!!!!!! That was a completely planned and meticulously done crime.. Hope the detective sees through the forgery
April 9, 2017 8:35 pm|
You bet and I hope they do!!
April 7, 2017 10:04 am|
Oh mine! Unexpected end! Brilliant!
April 9, 2017 8:35 pm|
Thank you, Sheela!
April 7, 2017 1:08 pm|
Oh my that was truly an unexpected ending – murder and forgery! This crime series gets better and better.
April 9, 2017 8:35 pm|
Thanks a lot, Suzy! Glad you are liking the series so far!
April 7, 2017 1:28 pm|
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.
April 9, 2017 8:36 pm|
I love the way you thought so much about this, Chicky! I am sure, he would be caught!
April 7, 2017 1:32 pm|
Your stories have the most unexpected twists, Shilpa! Really enjoying them!
April 9, 2017 8:37 pm|
Thank you Mayuri. Glad you are liking it here. i am loving your food stories too!
April 7, 2017 1:33 pm|
Haha! That bugger. Kinda expected he was behind it, but the forgery part was unexpected.
April 9, 2017 8:37 pm|
Thank you, Sreesha! Glad you liked it!
April 7, 2017 2:06 pm|
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 😀
April 9, 2017 8:38 pm|
Thanks a lot, Vinodini. Glad you liked this attempt! 🙂
April 7, 2017 2:19 pm|
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 !!
April 9, 2017 8:39 pm|
Suicide is devastating. But looks like this one isnt suicide.
Thank you for reading, Genevive. Arent you participating in this April challenge this year? I enjoyed your travel series last year!
