Writing Prompt: “amateur detective”, entry by thepavsalford

Hi, fellow Freewriters, and Hiveans, in general!

This is my entry to the Writing Prompt by @mariannewest for 20 November 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2927: a can full of kisses.

He entered the Economics class.

The lecturer was already there, writing something on the whiteboard.

This time, he had a hidden asset with him, and he was sure that the lecturer would praise him for his excellent knowledge of the subject, that is Economics.

“Sir, can I ask you something?”.

“Sure, what is it?”.

“Sir, I have read a very good book on Economics.”.

“Oh, yeah? What’s the title of the book?”.

“It’s called: ‘The Undercover Economist’. I really liked it, and I now feel confident about my knowledge, which I got from the book. I believe that I can easily call myself an Undercover Economist, just like the writer of the book.”.

The lecturer laughed, and said:

“I think you can hardly call yourself an amateur detective of Economics, even more so an Undercover Economist!”.
