Hey popcorns πΏ
And weβre back, Day 7. We didnβt come this far to come this far, thought Iβd drop that inspirational quote in there π
So my goal is to finish this challenge by next Monday (6 days away, 8 stories away) so I do need to cram in a triple or double whammy somewhere along the way π
Guys I was crying my eyes out yesterday π because I watched the third film of the The Maze Runner series (AKA my FAVOURITE series EVER also the best series EVER) and oh my gosh it was so sad π’ Like words donβt even come close to my emotions in that film, I did cry more in the book though! π’
You guys know the drill, so here we go…

Writing Challenge 2020 Day 7: write a murder mystery story

Her ruby red lips were pulled into a confused frown as I asked her some questions about the party.
One party, one murder and one missing puzzle piece that I just couldnβt quite place.
βDid you witness anyone walking into the kitchen looking as if they were about to kill someone?β I demanded, impatiently tapping my foot while I acted for her answer
Looking nervous as ever, she leaned forward and whispered one name that would change everything.
βCameron,β She hoarsely whispered, her voice shaky and her bottom lip trembling.
She was either an incredible liar or had really seen Cameron waking into the kitchen, looking like he was about to kill someone.
I nodded at her and told her she could go, but not before I wrote the name CAMERON DALLAS in thick, bold letters in my notebook.
Melissa Tali, the party thrower, had been killed in cold blood. A stab to her heart from the kitchen knife.
I called more party go-ers up, mostly people from Melissaβs close circle of friends, but a couple of eye witnesses who had βclaimedβ to have seen mere glimpses of hr killer, my ass.
Each friend from Melissaβs close circle claimed to have seen one of her other friends walk into the kitchen, looking as if they were about to kill someone.
That canβt be right…
It must be some cover-up to save the person who really killed Melissa Tali.
7 names were now scribbled in black, bold letters and expressively underlined, all over my notepad: CAMERON DALLAS, LOLA TERA, MATT WOODS, PEONY WISD, ELLA SONTANA, TIAGO LUGO.
βYour the last one,β I stated to Kai Tali, Melissaβs brother.
βNo shit Sherlock, I see why your a detective now.β He snapped saracastically.
βI actually became a detective through a university degree…β I mumbled on.
βGod, is all weβre gonna do is state the obvious?β Kai rolled his eyes, sighing at this futile conversation.
βDid you do it?β I directly asked without beating around the bush at all.
His coastal eyes were aching around the house in boredom but after hearing my question his head snapped back so fast I woudnβt be surprised if he had whip lash as a consequence of it.
βNo, I didnβt stab her.β He replied, satisfied at himself.
βWe hadnβt released the case investigation yet…β I tailed off, realising I had just caught the killer.
Wide eyed and shocked, Kai realised his mistake.
Even the most experienced of killers slip up sometimes, but there was no experience when it came to Kai, heβd killed his sister, and deliberately.
No excuse even.
Heβd watched as ruby red blood gushed out of her open wound, making no move to help her.
His guilt would be the real killer..

Murder mystery, uh. Just to state the obvious (pun intended π) I hate murder mystery writing. I donβt mind reading it, but I cannot write it for my life.
Anyways, hope quarantine is going okay for everyone and speak soon βοΈ
Was this your favourite story out of my collection of short stories? Who was you favourite character? Would you continue reading this if possible?
Thatβs a wrap π

DUDE THIS IS CRAZY, I NEED TO KNOW MORE- who is the detective? Why did Kai kill Melissa? What did Melissa do? SERIOUSLY AMBS I-
AHAHAHA! π See, two can play the cliffhangers game, lol! Aditi is EXPLODING with questions lol π I already have the whole plot planned out for this, but Iβm not spilling anything because I might continue writing it if it gets voted! π

Loved this! Reminded me of playing Cluedo π It’s got Agatha Christie vibes β¨ Really like how it started with Ruby red lips and ended with Ruby red blood. Fabulous story! You might hate writing murder mystery but I wouldn’t have been able to tell unless you’d said because it was so good ππ
Thanks so much Elsie! π Yes thatβs kinda what inspired me actually π I should have called one of the character Professor Plum π Oo I agree π Yes, I wanted to have some similarities there! Aww thank you π That means so, so much to me Elsie!
