What is 'Watterature'?

Just like we have 'Twitterature', which is an amalgamation of two words - Twitter and Literature - we have introduced our own (Wattpad and Literature). The only difference is the word limit. While in Twitterature, there's a word limit of 140 characters, in Watterature, . Please note it's ten words, not ten characters.

For example, the Watterature for Harry Potter can be written as: "A young wizard, Harry Potter, defeats Voldemort, the Dark Lord."

Below we have listed three prompts that fall under the Crime-Mystery genre. Read the prompts provided and create Watteratures for them. Please see the Guidelines and How To Enter sections for more details.

Moriarty is a Machiavellian, consulting criminal mastermind who does not commit crimes himself, but instead uses his intelligence and network of resources to provide criminals with strategies for their crimes and sometimes protection from the law, all in exchange for a fee or a cut of profit.
