Murder Mystery

“Murder…murder….you…the murderer”, such voices were echoing in Faolan's head. He knew it wasn’t his fault. Oh no! It was that brutal gang who had done that. They had murdered his friend Graham while both of them were returning from a late night party! But now, he kept on remembering those horrible scenes in his mind and felt guilty of something he had not done!

As the police enquired, he had told them the truth but they didn’t believe him. They suspected Faolan of the murder as he was the only one with him. But Faolan knew it wasn’t him and he had to prove himself innocent to the Police, the family, the society and everyone else!

He then received a phone call which informed him that he would have to leave for New York that evening. Glad at the news he eagerly started packing to distress himself from this bad phase of his life. That evening, he rejoiced leaving for New York but only God knew what he had in store.

After his work at New York had been done, he decided to go to a nearby coffee shop for a rejuvenating sip of coffee. At the shop he kept on gazing out of the window and remembering those horrid visions. As his empty cup was kept on the table, he took a glance at the interior of the shop. It was bustling with people all waiting for a cup of coffee or some snacks. Suddenly his eyes went on a man sitting at the far corner of the room. He was alone and looked in a hurry.

But what attracted Faolan’s attention was his striking resemblance to his friend Graham. Faolan rubbed his eyes to see if he was dreaming but he wasn’t! It was true. Suddenly the man went out of the shop and Faolan paid the bill and hurriedly followed him. He reached a house with the name of Mr. Gabriel.

Faolan was dumbstruck. He decided to investigate the case. He tried to obtain Mr. Gabriel’s bio-data from the investigative agency and finally his hard work paid its fruit. He obtained the data and was surprised at what he read! He soon contacted the police who arrested Mr. Gabriel. He was given a lifetime jail!

The mystery was such that Mr. Gabriel was actually Mr. Graham’s identical twin. Graham had been in a financial crisis of late and asked his brother some money. Graham had refused and a cold-blooded war had started between them. Soon, Gabriel came to know that Graham had his will in Gabriel’s name but he was going to change it that day itself.

So Gabriel decided to murder him. He bribed some fellow criminals who did his job. Gabriel was to return to London the next day and take care of Graham’s property. But with the help of Faolan, his plan had been foiled!

Hi Meghna,

Notwithstanding that it's been a little while since I left a comment, I'm still following your progress my dear, as you go from strength to strength.

I still think you might do well to include a donation button on your blog, so your readers can donate directly to you.

You now have a large army of fans, many of whom would, I think, be only too happy to show their appreciation materially for the joy that you give out to the world.

You can easily get a donation button from paypal.com

Think about it.

Yours with continuing admiration,

Hi Kukuh,
I too am an avid fan of Agatha Christie. She had written once in a lifetime mysteries! I'm glad to be compared to such a great person but I think right now, I've got miles to go! :D

Creativity blossoms in freedom and of all types for that matter.

Looks like you are really falling short of time and have cut the story short.

Even i feel the plot could have been developed more. The begining was good and caught attention.

Keep going.

Meghna

Hi Ranjhani,
Thanks for the compliment! You too rock!

Meghna

Hi Anoop,
I could have elaborated it but then it would have become too long and boring, I suppose. So I purposely kept it short!
I'll try to do even better next time!

Meghna

Hi Nitin,
Creativity certainly blossoms when free! I get your point but as I said before, i purposely kept it short because if i did elaborate it, it would have become too long! I would have had to split it up in two parts but I don't usually like that!
So I made it as short as possible.

Thanks for the comment! I'll keep it in m,ind the next time!

Meghna
