It would be a test of the apprentice’s sleuthing skills. The boy was getting complacent disposing villains
with ease. A crime fighter needs smarts
not just fighting skills.
He left the photos from musicals starring Fred Astaire and Gingers Rogers
at the crime scene and DVDs of King Kong and Citizen Kane. The link?
Both produced by RKO Radio Pictures Inc.
The logo of a triangle enclosing a thunderbolt was an obvious giveaway. Forgotten by the public the studio was his
now.
He was pleased when the boy wonder walked in.
“Welcome,” he said from his perch.
“Holy Apparition Batman.”

It's interesting how many people saw a monster or ghost or whatever in the photo and I didn't even notice. (My story's dark enough as is, but still...) Good one.

Thanks Janet. Your story is fantastic. It is an eye-opener for those not aware of that side of life.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Kent, I think I like your DVD collection too :-)
DeleteI absolutely saw Batman first thing. I didn't think I could pull it off. You seemed to ave doine it with ease.
ReplyDeleteHow could I resist that Batman image Dawn. Got the idea in Holy Nick-of-Time. Thanks for reading and commenting.
DeleteGood story. Boy Wonder needed to be taught a lesson. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia, I think Boy Wonder learnt his lesson faster than he could say "Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods"

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments Kz. I'd say it's Holy uncanny photographic mental processes.
DeleteAh.. yes I can see him up above (was the first thing I saw) .. but couldn't fit it into a tale... love the last line.
ReplyDeleteCan't take credit for the last line - that a Robin original :-). I saw the picture and there was only one way to go. Blame it on my Holy memory bank :-)
DeleteDidn't see that ending coming! That was an amusing take on the prompt :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hala that ending was a part of my Holy diversionary tactics :-)
