The Friday Fictioneer challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo.

Fishing Expedition
It wasn’t his only unsolved case, but the one that bothered Andy the most. The car explosion sent debris and body parts everywhere; funerals for the family of three had closed caskets. Andy never gave up looking for that one piece of evidence to connect the crime to the prime suspect.
Now retired, Andy decided he might as well go fishing. It was just a coincidence, he told everyone, that his place of choice was near the crime scene.
Andy tugged on his fishing line; it was caught on something. When he found what the lure had snagged, he smiled.

What was it? What was it? Don’t keep us in suspenders. 😉
The pipe! The pipe in the water!
Eureka!
A very clever take on the photo: well done.
This is a great beginning to a crime novel. Lots of twists and turns are possible from this point. Does he die and another detective takes over? Does he live but finds the evidence doesn’t point where he once thought it would?
Yes… this could definitely be the beginning of a whole longer story! Well done.
I love it, too. It’s a great take on the prompt, and contains potential for a lot more story.
Hmmm, maybe I will work on it . . .
Nicely done. Cold case solve. Wonderful take on the prompt.
Yes, case solved. Nice way to start a retirement.
Rats! Solved, I meant solved!
