Finding Dead Body!!!

A group of children discover a dead body

By Karthikeyan Varma S RPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a midnight dreary, a group of children were walking down a foggy street. The children were on their way to the park to play what they thought would be a fun game of hide and seek. However, this night, the game would take a dark turn.

As they walked, the group noticed a thick fog had drawn in, making it difficult to see beyond a few feet in front of them. Taking a shortcut through a narrow alley, the group stumbled upon something they had never expected to find. There, lying in the alley, was a dead body.

The body was so mutilated and grotesque in its appearance, that the children could barely look at it. They could see the wounds over the body had been caused by a sharp object, and the bones seemed to be broken in several places. There was no sign of life coming from the body.

Once the children realized what it was they had found, they quickly ran away from the alley in a state of shock and fear. They ran all the way back home and had difficulty speaking as a result of what they had seen. None of them had ever witnessed such a gruesome scene in their whole lives.

The body was eventually found by the police. An autopsy report concluded that the cause of death was multiple stab wounds to the chest. However, there was no explanation as to how or why the body was placed in that alley.

The children had not reported their discovery out of fear of being questioned. One of them had been the first one to spot the body and they shared an unspoken agreement to never speak of it. But, as time passed, the knowledge of what they had seen began to haunt them.

As they grew up, they started having vivid nightmares of the dead body they'd seen in the alley. It seemed like a sign of some dark force at work that wanted to haunt them for the rest of their lives. It seemed like the body's death was connected to some hidden secret in the city, and maybe even linked to the children's own past.

The children never told their parents or teachers about what they had seen, and eventually, their curiosity took over. They decided to start investigating the death of the body, and soon discovered more information about the case than they had hoped to learn. It seemed like the body might have been linked to some crime they had witnessed in the past.

The group of children soon found themselves in a dark game of mystery, trying to uncover the truth behind the death of the body in the alley. They started putting together pieces of evidence that had been buried in the past a long time ago. They never stopped looking for clues, determined to unmask the identity of the murderer and find justice for the victim.

The children eventually found out that the dead body in the alley had been connected to a series of cold-case murders that had taken place in the city years before. A serial killer had been at large, and the children had been their unwilling witness.

The killer was never found or identified, and the children kept their secret to themselves. Unfortunately, the haunting memories of that night in the alley would stay with them forever. It wasn't until years later, when they had grown older, that they shared their story and the truth was finally revealed.

Only then did the children realize the importance of reporting their discovery to the police. Armed with a new understanding and appreciation for the power of justice, they taught others the lesson of not remaining silent and reporting any discoveries of violence or crime.

In the end, the children had discovered that what was found in the alley was not a game, but a lesson in the power of criminal justice.
