The Cap
“Yes, that’s the cap my grandson was wearing,”. Old woman was
pointing to a man in the crowd.
“It’s his cap. Arrest
this man, right now, He…. he must have…….” She was in tears.
The police officer felt sorry for her. He knew that there was
nothing unique about that cap. Hundreds of such caps were available in the
market.
“You think I’m not in my senses. Just look inside that cap…. you
will see my signatures…. the poor boy insisted…….”
The man panicked and tried to get away.

ReplyDeleteof course not. thanks for reading the story
ReplyDeleteIt's getting harder to be taken serious when you're getting old. I hope the grandson will be found safe and sound.

DeleteScary times, I hope the man doesn't succeed in escaping.

DeleteA great set-up for a short story!
ReplyDeleteCreative story with a sharp mom/grandma. Looks like the boy will be getting his cap back (maybe later though, police will probably hold it as evidence until the thief is arrested, tried, adjudicated, and sentenced.)
ReplyDeleteamend that to grandma only
Deletethanks for reading, but i fear the boy has been murdered.
DeleteShe was right. But nobody wants to listen to her. Good story.
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteA harrowing story. I fear something dreadful has happened to the boy which is why his grandma is beside herself and no one is listening. A living hell.
ReplyDeleteyou got it, i left it unsaid. thanks for reading and commenting
DeleteDear Arora,

Shalom,
