Mind Trap #125 - Death in a Tent
Question:
Shadow flipped the tent flap open and surveyed the scene. On the floor, in the centre of the tent, a man lay dead from self inflected gunshot wounds. In the corner of the tent was a small cot. A package of cigarettes and an empty whiskey bottle lay on the bedside table next to a kerosene lamp. Shadow combed the tent for additional clues to the possible motive. Other then the articles mentioned, the only things Shadow found were a half dozen small circular wooden disks under the cot, the mans personal effects, and a variety of scrapbooks and news clippings. Shadow found the last articles particulary strange since it was learned the suicide victim was completely illiterate. What was the reason for the apparent suicide?

He forgot he was illiterate until he tried to read the newspaper. He was so upset to remember this he killed himself.

@previous (E)
The dead guy is a midget who works for a circus as the world's smallest man. His nemesis has gotten him drunk and gradually sawing off discs from the legs of his cot, which has given the dead guy the illusion that he's growing taller because the cot is getting shorter, and that he is no longer the world's smallest man. He was looking at photos of himself getting awards and meeting famous people and couldn't take the loss, so he killed himself.

hmm, the version I read referred to a previously unmentioned cane that was cut shorter gradually, not cot legs, which is why I was so WTF, how would I know about a fucking cane
