“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

         Today Grandma came over and much fun was had. Also I found out that thing you wanted to know but I forgot, sorry. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Figures And The Old Man

        The police found the body covered by the strangest of things. Thousands and thousands of little wooden figures. All of them exactly the same. The police checked to see what brand of toy they were to possibly track who left them but couldn't find it. The figures could be a strange obsessive mark to be left by a killer, but a possible one. They'd seen weirder.
        The captain found the truth which didn't line up to their assumptions. The “murder weapon”, a carving knife, had stabbed him when he fell down. They didn't know what kind of weapon it was at first. They only found more and more of the dolls all over the house. The one with an unstable mind turned out not to be a series killer, but the poor man on the floor covered in wooden figures.
       The police talked to the few people who knew the old man. His family died young from an accident where he was the only one at home. He had a enough for retirement and went into seclusion. Once a very successful carpenter of custom furniture he went crazy and depressed and only made the figures.
       Later an officer looked closer at the figures during evidence examination. They each had a name on them. The officer investigated on his own and found out that the names were all of people the old man knew. It seemed that even secluded the old man didn't forget those he loved and knew.
