55 word fiction: The case of the dead men




My lifeless eyes may no longer be as sharp as my little grey cells, but the tall, lean man who rose from the grave was unmistakably him.
I glided over. He shook the hands that I offered with a hint of vanity.
“So we finally meet, monsieur Holmes,” I bowed. “I am Poirot. Hercule Poirot.”
