Mystery story

A peaceful night

It was a joyful night, crowds gathered in the capital's main square just to hear the new president's speech. It was New Year's Eve. A night that promised a brighter future or so I believed. The most respected and admired man in the nation stood in the centre of Jupiter square. "Today will be marked in history as the start of a new era, an era of peace and economic stability. I promise...... , I promise......" The president suddenly stopped talking , the throng stared at him while they were waiting for him to continue his speech. All of a sudden the president dropped dead. People started panicking. Someone ran looking for an exit, others started screaming and crying. In a few seconds chaos overwhelmed the entire square. Despair, panic and sadness was all that was left in that horrible day.
