Big Secret In A Small Town

This community has been hit by a tragedy, it was deemed to be revealed sooner or later. Every member of this tight knit community has been affected one way or the other. It all started on a beautiful summer day. Perfect with the sun shining, cool breeze, and the smell of fresh grass been cut early in the morning. The community were tight and looked out for one another. They were almost care free because f the peace and harmony. The people in this community did not believe in any pain or suffering amoungst them. Mayor Breedley was extemely proud of his community he served. He also was such a down to earth man that lived and led a simple life. People loved him. He was not only well admired leader, there was many more admiral leaders part of this beautiful community.


This beautiful day would turn to be the worst day of this town. People were going about there day as normal until a stranger came into town. He was not actually a stranger to the town. Mr Dupil had left the town when he was very young, he was 13 when he left with his parents and siblings. At 45, Mr Dupil decided to return to his home town. He was bearing a secret of this town that would affect almost everyones heart. I owned a small bed and breakfast. I have seen many people pass by this beautiful town. Then i met Mr Dupil, full of character. Extrovert with lots of wisdom. He loved to talk and had many stories. He had been siting in the library of the bed and breakfast where he stopped me and started chatting with me. He then started telling me that he resided in the town years ago. I then took a seat and was fasinated to hear more. He said there was one thing he needed to do before leaving the town the next day. It expressed that it was important to his legacy and would never return again. I asked him why wouldn’t he return and he said that he was terminally ill. My heart was sadden by this news. Mr Dupil had been holding an envelope he said it had alot of vital information on the towns history and secret that was handed down to him from his parents. Mr Dupil’s parents passed away months apart 5 years ago. This secret drove there family out of the town.


Mr Dupil told me that there is lots of things that people dont understand in the town. He began by telling me that the documents that he has was evidence of some type of corruption that had been going on as well as a unsolved murder of not just on but 5 people. He believed he knew who was the killer and wanted justice to be served. I asked him about the murders and he told me the story. So after all these years this killer has been amoungst this community. Mr Dupil explained that the truth needed to be told. As we knew everyone in this community trusted everyone and everyone were like family. It was hard to believe that murderer could be free as a bird. After telling me on how the murders took place i then asked him who did he believe was the killer, and how sure was he that it was the killer. He said that he was a witness to one of the murders but didn’t come forward as one. I asked who the killer was and he told me it was Mr Kalien. Mr Kalien was a pharmamist and the owner of the only pharmacy in the town.


It was about 4pm and was getting late. I insisted that this should be reported immidiately. No one knew that Mr Dupil was back in town and said he did not want anyone to know . He then made me promise not to let anyone know that he was back and i agreed. He handed me the envelope and said that i should hand it over to the police. I told him that i will do so immediately. I headed straight to the police station and gave the envelope to the sheriff. He then enquired where did i get the envelope from and i told him exactly where it came from.


The sheriff followed me back to the bed and breakfast but it was too late because Mr Dupil instinctively left town. The next stop was too the pharmacy. When the sheriff got to the pharamcy it was rush hour and busy. This was when all hell broke loose. The sheriff arrested Mr Kalien infront of the customers. Questions were raised and the truth was revealed. This news spread like wild fire throughout the community. Many hearts broken ecspecially the families of the deseased. It had truly been a sad day for the community.
