Hello my Steemian Friends..

This time I entered an interesting contest with a very good theme, The Last Photo. Okay here we go...

THE LAST PHOTO

(....) There was a small wooden hut and a half-covered tall figure stood at the door of the hut.

The discovery of the photo was a big question mark for the rescue teams. They took the evidence home and planned to give it to detective Ulil, a famous detective who solved many cases and investigate it.

After receiving the camera from the search team, detective Ulil entered his office and began analyzing the camera files one by one.

Some of the initial facts that detective Ulil was able to draw out include:

  1. The sunlight has begun to dim, indicating that the incident occurred at dusk before night.
  2. Nadeesha activated "shout to take picture". Indicating that the last photo was taken accidentally and out of fear
  3. The date and time on the photo indicates that Nadeesha was missing after approximately 4 hours when the camera was found.
  4. And finally, the object of the photo is not a supernatural being but a man because there is a shadow reflection from the camera flash when taking pictures.

After some of these facts were obtained, Detective Ulil gathered a search team including a sniffer dog to conduct a search mission for Nadeesha.

They search during the day when the sun is high to make it easier to see through the forest. Their first destination was the hut where the camera was first found. The sniffer dogs sniffed around the hut and immediately circled around an object in the corner of the hut.

The object was a cloth used to dress the mysterious man. Without waiting long the sniffer dog led the search team through the forest to the north for approximately 1 km and stopped at a grass location then the sniffer dog turned around while looking at the ground.

And sure enough, they found a small bag that allegedly belonged to Nadeesha. They were convinced that the search was very close to its ending. They continued the search by dividing the team into 2 groups and split in opposite directions.

After a while, one group signaled to the other that they had found Nadeesha. Nadeesha's condition when found was unconscious. Her feet and hands were tied. Some of her clothes had also been torn.

They came back together and asked a few questions when nadeshaa woke up. However, all they got was the screams of Nadeesha who was traumatized by the incident. They have yet to find a definitive answer regarding the person in the photo.

It is still a puzzle for detective Ulil and he plans to conduct further searches regarding the mysterious person. But the search mission this time was quite satisfying because they brought Nadeesha home safely.

But actually, the fact that they had yet to discover the identity of the mysterious man was bothering the ulil detective's mind. he was still not satisfied even though they had brought nadeshaa home safely. His curiosity compelled him to return to the forest another time.

Two days after the search mission, Detective Ulil visited the forest again. Only, this time he didn't bring the full team. Only 3 colleagues participated in this mission. The reason was because their main goal had been achieved, so he thought it was no longer necessary to involve many people.

However, that's where he went wrong this time. When they had gone deep into the forest, suddenly their vision was all dark. Several revolver bullets quickly pierced their backs. And just before he lost consciousness, Detective Ulil saw the mysterious man they were looking for. But they really had a bad end.

What a story. The suspense built around Nadeesha's discovery and her traumatized state is so intense. Detective Ulil's persistence and his return to the forest, despite bringing Nadeesha home safely, really highlights his dedication. The sudden darkness and the bullets... it's a shocking turn of events that leaves me eager to know what happens next. It's a real page-turner.
