    Karlis Kadegis

    I'm from Latvia. BA Degree in English language & Literature acquired abroad. A tennis junkie. Interested in peace and conflict studies, politics, writing, editing and photography. My passion for crime fiction is inspired by Sherlock Holmes stories and British TV dramas. My passion for other fiction is not inspired by anyone in particular. Fantastic sense of humour.  As an author, I still consider myself novice. Therefore I very much like to experiment with styles, ideas and whatnot.

      To begin with, I want to say that when I cracked this little puzzle, I realized that I might have made sure that the man I talked to will return back to his prison cell. Essentially, he would have returned anyway, so I don’t feel any remorse about it, but I feel that it might be important to note that before I go ahead.

      The man I am referring to is called Dāvids, but everyone here calls him the crutch. I can’t really give a logical explanation as to why or how he got the nickname, but I figured it is because he looks like he could use a crutch. From talking to him, I gathered that twenty years ago he broke his ankle by jumping off a tree and landing on a pile of rocks. Initially the injury healed, but as he began to put on some weight, it turned out that the injured ankle could not hold all the fat the crutch
