Greetings.

 

I was pleased to see many good entries; sadly, I could only select a few for recognition. Here they are:

 

In first place, winning 40 000 crystals, @Daniel898's entry:

Bloodshed

Chapter One: Dubiety

 

“I swear I didn’t do it!”

 

I suspect that he isn’t telling the truth, and neither do my fellow officers.

 

Maximus selected his pen on the table beside him, and eyed the notepad carefully. “Stefan, you claim that Juniper did not access the office.” He pauses abruptly and commences to speak again. “But later, you declared that she waved at you upon leaving the office. I’m uncertain how this is possible. As you can see, this situation is unattainable. Someone cannot wave to you if they never arrived at a visual position to do so.”

 

“I didn’t do it! I didn’t kill anyone, and I-”. Stefan roars across the table like a hungry lion, only to be hindered by the stale, calm voice of my colleague.

 

“As recommended by our lie detector, you haven’t been telling the truth. You slaughtered your co-worker Juniper. You have been charged of second degree murder and you will serve 10 years of-.”

 

Stefan screams in outrage, and lunges his body across the table. He begins to suffocate Maximus with his handcuffs. With Maximus’s neck hooked onto links of the handcuffs, Stefan swings him across the chamber, his head slamming onto the impenetrable stone wall and his body dwindling to the ground. He’s unconscious.

 

I explore my pocket and feel for my gun. Crap. I thought. I left it with Randy outside. I speculate hastily and screech at my other colleague Liam. “Shoot him!”

 

Stefan has obtained the key to his handcuffs from inside Maximus’s pockets and opens the lock with the key with his teeth. Liam begins to draw his gun. Stefan surges toward his legs and Liam capsizes. I observe in panic as his gun descends to the floor. Stefan clutches the gun and shoots Liam. I scream.

 

I lift a chair and catapult it at him, knocking him over. He targets me with his gun as I flip the table over to sustain the charge. I gasp at the puncture holes inside the table. I launch another chair, and another. I pick up the last one and Stefan looks down. I gaze. He starts to chuckle, louder, until he shrieks at full volume.

 

I drop my chair in fear. “W-wha-.” I begin.

 

“I was there.” Stefan murmurs. His body shudders, I take a step back.

I’m befuddled. He was there? “What do you mean, you were there?”

 

He continues to grin. “Oh? You don’t remember. So you don’t know that your memory was-.”

 

“It was what?” I demand, as he edges even closer.

 

Before I could react, he jabs at my gut. Stefan lifts me up and baseball heaves me chest first to the wall. I feel my ribs shatter as I scream in pain.

 

“You’ll never live to know about your memory.” He smirks, and aims the pistol at me. I prepare myself for the end of my existence.

 

Abruptly, the siren blares. I hear voices outside, orders to sprint to room A5 hastily. This room. Stefan lowers his pistol, opens the door and sprints down the hallway.

 

I cry out, seeing blood on my hands. But then, I see nothing.

For an entry that was on par with the winner, but unfortunately faded slightly at the end in terms of quality, 20 000 crystals:

The following entries also merited a consolation prize of 10 000 crystals:

 

: Au Courant

: Psycho

 

 

Congratulations, and understand that there were many more that were of excellent quality.

And Danny deserved those 40k crystals, his entry was a masterpiece.
