The Fingerprint


On the first day, there was a spate of robberies in poor neighbourhoods. The police could do little. The thefts were too many, in places far apart and at the same time. They were surprised to find the same fingerprint at all locations.
On the second day, the police should not have been caught unawares. Billions of financial transactions on the new fingerprint-enabled app brought the marketplace to a crunching halt, that too with a single fingerprint.
On the third day, a very important person was found murdered. A poisoned tilaka on the forehead did the job. The fingerprint lifted from that was the same.
On the fourth day, the fingerprint rested.
On the fifth day, the faithless wondered why the fingerprint rested before the seventh day.
On the sixth day, the faithful created a temple for the fingerprint.
On the seventh day, there was an election and the fingerprint won. The fingerprint faded before the end of that day.
