Shokie in my village

 

#vss365

I met Insp. Shokie in my village. In her first week, we had the Raju-Saju killings. They killed their father in the river and, hanged mother at home. Shokie had little to do. 

The whole village knows the who, when, why and where of this heady rush of #traffic in bodies.

During our annual festival, when we allow murders with a mystery, she had her first real case: a tourist's kid in a well.

But then, that's the only type we allow gods to kill. So, the murderer had to be a tourist.

Shokie got to the killer before us. The kid's father. Tourists!
