Writing Challenge #26: A Gingerbread Mystery

I spoke to Daisy, Nibs, Hamburger, and Kitty. They were also at Gingey’s house when the candy was stolen. They are Gingey’s friends. They all told me their alibi and since you were there at his house, though they weren’t there when you came, they didn’t say any story against you.

Now I don’t want you to play games with me because I will tell you right now, if I find out that you’re lying to me, the punishment will be double the charge. (staring at me with anticipation while tapping his pen on the table) Banchee: Listen to me Mr. Detective I’ve told you, I didn’t steal Gingey’s candy! If the neighbor saw me in his house the day when the candy was stolen was because I had to get my key from Gingey’s desk for my locker at school.

Ok the neighbor accused me because I had that stuff all over my mouth when I came out from Gingey’s house and I admit that. But did the neighbor see me had that stuff already before I came in. NO! So how would he think that I stole Gingey’s candy?

Ok so what was that stuff all over your mouth then? ( Mr. Detective was giving me a weird look, he seems like he's not buying my alibi) Detective, we made a Ginger Bread house at school today. It’s a traditional thing that we always do every Christmas at school. You know that right? Of course we had to put Icing cover over it before we can put all varieties of candy like hard skittles, circle gummies with sugar coating, twizzlers and more! But before I could put all the candies to my Ginger bread house, I left my candies at the locker and Gingey left my key at his house by the desk. So I was in a hurry and didn’t bother to wash my hand. I didn’t realize all of the sudden it was all over in my mouth.

How Gingey got your key? Well he borrowed it a few days ago to put his stuff in my locker because he left or misplace his locker key somewhere. Do you know that he keeps forgetting stuff? I feel bad for Gingey that’s why I am here. I want to help so we can solve this case but you never know maybe he forgot where the last time he put his candy.

However, Gingey told me that Scooby (other classmate) was in his house before I came and I know that he was there because I saw his foot/shoe print by the porch all the way to the drive way. And on top of that, I saw a piece of candy in Gingeys driveway. On that time, I didn’t know that Gingey’s candy was stolen so I didn’t given it a thought. Now that I am thinking, the candy that was in the driveway, despite of all the snow on the ground, wasn’t covered with snow!

Though, I remembered one thing that Scooby couldn’t eat candy. His teeth are very sensitive. Therefore, he might not be the one who stole Gingey’s candy.

    Thanks for reading my challenge Talibah.. I know right? I use Banchee's name because that's my puppy's name. though they were human in the character :)

  • Scooby and Banchee! Ha. Now we need some more gingerbread man. I'll see if I can scrounge a few up. Scooby could be our man. Even if he can't eat the candy himself (due to his poor teeth) maybe he has a girlfriend or something.  I love the part about the gingerbread house. Very convincing, Banchee. Thanks so much for taking part in the challenge Blesie. Excellent writing!

    Thanks Guys.. Yes Anele I did put a comment and the link of Tara's Challenge.

    Nida, when I jot down everything that I could think of, I started to go back reread the challenge and I wans'nt sure if there's rules then I got lost.

     

    Oh well, all I know is I'm trying to show off that I'm innocent :P

  • Very nice Belsie, however; it's more like a dialogue rather than a monologue, I think. But still it very will written.

     

    Good job, keep it up!
