Welcome To 2020

Welcome to my new blog, fresh for 2020.

This will be primarily used, at least for now, for my Twitter #vss365 murder mystery entitled Pandora's Children.

I plan to put other stories up on here as well, short stories and vignettes. Anything I write until I decide to publish it elsewhere.

See you soon.

Atlas Missing - Part 9

The #nudistertian day began with me moving everything I owned into storage except for what I needed for a cheap one-bedroom apartment, and now here I was just a few days later, pawing through the remains of someone else's life. I wondered if I would ever get mine back. *** 'Why is it always a post-#jentacular jogger that finds the bodies?' Jaci asked. 'Is no one else up that early?' 'Who else did you want to find them?' I countered. 'Dog-walkers? Little old ladies?' 'It's such a cliche.' 'There's a reason for that,' Hannah interjected. *** 'It's a cliche because it's true,' I told Jaci and held up an evidence bag. 'This is a hair sample, but it hasn't been tested. Why not?' 'They don't have the funding to test for DNA on cold cases,' Hannah said. 'According to the police report, the hair is #ulotrichous.' *** 'And?' 'All of their suspects had straight hair, not curly....

Atlas Missing - Part 12

Hannah chimed in. 'You need to reach #satori.' 'Isn't that like nirvana?' Jaci asked. 'Something like that,' Hannah replied. 'Are you ready to focus on the case again?' Jaci took a deep breath. 'I'm ready.' 'Good. Are we going through the timeline this morning?' *** 'We'll go through the reports for each victim, jotting down notes about times and places, then we'll go #back and write it all down on the big board. Hopefully by combining all the data we can get an idea of what happened when.' 'How long will that take?' Hannah asked. *** 'It depends entirely on how much is in the reports.  Based on what I saw yesterday, it could take us a couple of days to go through everything.' Hannah smiled. 'I'm not a delicate little #flower. I can handle it.' 'Good. This is just the start. It's going to get worse.' *** 'Hey, watch out for that #cat,' I yelled as the small black furb...

Pandora's Children - Part 20

Alcoholiday was the kind of club that my #mother would have frequented in her younger days. It was a place where one's inhibitions became exhibitions. We walked inside, and even this early in the evening we could see that there were already some questionable activities. *** There were private rooms where we couldn't see what was going on, but there was plenty on display in the booths, alcoves, and on tables. I saw a woman was providing oral sex to two men in one alcove, and a man giving a #petrissage among other things to a woman in another. *** We walked toward the stage where the band was setting up. Dana saw us, scowled, and angrily signed something. It was almost too fast for me to read. "What did she sign?" Jaci asked. "She called Sarah a #quisling." "I'm hardly a traitor," Sarah huffed. "I saw sense." *** "Maybe you should hang back," I said. "Hell no," responded and strode up to Dana. She signed, 'You...
