Garreth shook his head. His emotions were in a turmoil. It was painful to remember the events of that fateful day. The sounds. The fear. Blood. It all had a smell and as he tried to remember more details it once again filled his nostrils

The policeman across the table looked impatient. And suspicious. Garreth wanted to scream, 'I did not do it. I nearly got killed myself!' But he could find no words. His mind was filled with images of the dead and dying on the train. He remembered every detail but he could not picture the gunman's face. The fear was too great. It consumed him. Overwhelmed him. If he could only describe the face of the man who took his gun out of his hand and shot all those people.

He remembered glittering eyes and the arm stretched out in front of him holding Garreth's gun. No face. Nothing. He cannot even give an opinion on how tall the guy is. Just the eyes. And the arm. And the smell. And the screams.

The arm!!

He saw it again. On the wrist was an armband.

Yes! They were going to catch this guy!

Quick and descriptive, enjoyed the way you have given some but revealed everything @reonlouw

Perfect plot I must say.
Sometimes in crime scene people don't even notice whoever is beside them till something bad happens and you're asked to describe who you never even cares to know.

Thank goodness he can be identified now.

This is just what I need, lately I hve been into reading mysteries. Now I just need to know how they will catch the murderer!!

Wow, wouldn't have thought to take armband that direction. Always enjoy reading different peoples posts just to see how many different directions a prompt can go.
You worked it well.

The story touches, it is always interesting for me to look at the same topic from different sides.

Wow - I love the way you led us to find out that he probably was the guy after all - hmm - maybe not. well done!!
