Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Stinky Fish. Hope you enjoy the story.
There's a bad odour coming out from the flat.it smells like stinky fish that has decomposed under the sun for days.
It got so bad that a few neighbors come together and had a quick discussion. They knocked on the door, but as expected, no responses. Therefore, they decided to call the police.
Within minutes, the police arrived, and they got no responses too after knocking on the door for a while. They decided to force entry. Upon the door opening on force entry, they saw the corpse of Dave lying in the kitchen floor.
Dave, unwed and had little close friends and family, lives alone after retirement. From the position the corpse was found, it was believe that Dave might have slip and knocked his head against the sink. It's an unfortunate case of lonely death. Where seniors or people living alone with no close circle passed away unexpectedly alone.
The sad part of lonely death is that they usually occurred and went unnoticed, it's usually till body decomposition and a stinky fish like strench that issue the first signal to the nearby neighbors like in the case of Dave.
