In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story without ice. It can be a world without ice or a
summer camp that runs out of cubes for lemonade.
Inspector Ghote finds it hard to believe that it is a Perfect
Murder. What is the motive?
No clues.
The billionaire’s obituary extends to a full page in the
newspaper. The dead man’s chest
is cut open. Looks like the work of a surgeon. All the family members are abroad. The
lone
maid retires after serving supper.
**********
Ghote stares at the cylindrical ice in his lemonade.
“Water can take any shape to form ice and melt away”, quips
Pratima.
Ghote kisses his wife.
The murder weapon too melted away. He will search for the
motive. The murderer is
zeroed.
