Writing novels is really a challenge. I had already written a story before this one, but that story has not been published yet. In the future, if readers like to read my stories, I hope that I will reconsider publishing this story.

Chapter I

Today is a beautiful day. Chilly and rainfall. What a day! Just after breakfast when my 2 grandsons are talking to each other. This is what they are arguing about,

‘Do you know there is rain outside?’

‘Of course. I do.’

‘It is thunderstorm, is it not?’

‘If you walk out of the door. You are in real trouble.’

‘Why is?’

‘Why not?’

‘Reasons?’

‘There are rain droplets on your head.’

‘I don’t mind, actually.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes. Absolutely!’

‘Why then?’

‘I put on a cap.’

‘I see!’

‘You see now?’

‘But there are drops on the cap, aren’t they?’

‘Maybe yes.’

‘You are in real trouble, then.’

‘No.’

‘No?’

‘Do you know the amount of rain on my cap at that time?’

‘Around 200 water drops.’

‘How do you know?’

‘I count it.’

‘You What?’

‘Honestly, they are on your cap, are they not?’

‘No!’

‘Where are they?’

‘They fall to my shoulders.’

‘Before they are falling. There are 200 in total amount. Exactly!’

‘They are water.’

‘I am capable to count the total amount.’

‘What means?’

‘By all means!’

‘Are you Keating?’

‘Absolutely NOT!’

‘Boys. What are you talking about?’

‘Astronomy. Grandpa.’

‘What astronomy?’

‘Rain from the sky!’

‘Yes. Atmosphere!’

‘Why there is rain, boys.’

‘From Heaven!’

‘Not Hell?’

‘What the hell are you talking about, Grandpa?’

‘Gosh!’

‘Guys, ready for lunch. Quick or no lunch!’

We are having our lunch. Prudence suggests a picnic with my Mum. I am saying Mum is 103 years old. She may be not willing to go. Prudence says Grandma is much-more-stronger than all other ladies of her own age. She is capable. Then decided after Mum nods her head.

Only a couple of minutes after this stupid discussion. Larsen and Prudence are hurrying to a Police Station for a new case. What case? Cage? Cage fight?

When they return. I serve them the dinner. They talk to each other which is quiet enough not other guys will listen in their ears but myself. My God!

They are talking on a case of an old man dies suddenly. Meanwhile the doctor in charge says the man should not be dead at that time but do not know why. Therefore, biopsy is underway. There is nothing unusual on the death reason. All body structures are good. Seems strong enough to ask for fight/flight. Why then? It is for them to find out. God knows! Do you know? No, I don’t!

On picnic day where we are
