The RHP Prose contest 2021

Rules:
* We do a contest for original prose, written by RHP members. So please contribute only things you have written yourself. All material should be thought of as copyrighted and authors who wish will be attributed to their work. (Those who wish to be anonymous can get that also.
* Language is English.
* Length is no more than 1000 words (excluding the title).
* Topic is "Murder Mystery".
* You can send your entries either via (sometimes multiple) PM to me. Or you can send a file with a reasonable format (txt, rtf, doc, doc, odt, pdf (not secured) ) to Ponderable_Dickens@Yahoo.com. I will try to send receipts. Please contact me if I don't (it has happened that mails were in the SPAM).
* each author can send in up to three contributions. You can always change contributions, send edited versions, or pull back if you want to until I posted the stories.
* The competition ends in six weeks time: 8th of March 17:00 GMT.
* I will create a new thread with the stories, in which can be voted (three votes: 1st, 2nd and 3rd).
* If the story can't be posted on the Forum I will try to identify the reason and streamline accordingly (If you don't want this to happen try posting the story to see if it goes through yourself , don't forget to delete it immediately after the test.)

If something comes up, I will add to this set of rules.

There's no specified minimum. To be in the running though I'd advise over 400.

You hit the 'e' instead of the 'w' in your first word! 😉 I can see how that could happen as the 'w' is next to the 'e'! 😉

It’s not gibberish, any half wit can work it out. Do you not have half a wit? 🤔

I did but I lost half the wit, the other half went looking for it and neither one of them came back! 😛 😉
