Write your own detective fiction story! Charles McDougall, Scotland Yard’s best Inspector, is laid up in the hospital with a badly broken leg, but that doesn’t mean he’s off the clock! An online news headline describing a tragic gas leak/explosion catches his eye. Four people died: a housewife, a minor politician, a young chemist, and the daughter of a local mobster. Somehow, using only clues from the internet (and what he can worm out of his coworkers), he has to figure out which of those people was the actual target, and why.

200 word challenge! Answer the planning questions first to get you thinking! You only have 200 words, so you won't be able to tie up all the lose ends, just paint a picture!

Sentence starters:
"Watch the leg, Watson!"

Wincing in pain

Glued to his laptop screen, he scoured...

"Ah ha!"

Curious, he thought, how one person could be in two places at once... The photos from the Charity Gala Ball would prove invaluable... He knew three things now:

1.Who was the actual target?

2.Why were they the actual target?

3.Who was the killer who set off the explosion?

4.What clues will point Detective Charles McDougall towards the truth? (mostly from the internet, remember!)

5.How will McDougall's friends help him solve this, when he can't leave his hospital bed? What can they bring him or tell him?
