The Case

 I’m just a P.I. and my cop friend is only trying to save me. The woman was found dead just outside my cabin on a crisp morning. Months we’ve tried to find the evidence of who was framing me, no luck. My phone rings and I pick up, “hello…Okay, the town center, bench by the fountain.”

The short walk there gave me hope. 

I saw him sitting there, his eyes met mine. He stood to greet me smiling. “Ben, here.” He said handing me an envelope. “The results of yesterday's DNA test.”

“Thanks,” I took it and opened it.

I smiled when I looked back at him.

 Beneath the overpass is where I found him. The water from the river had risen nearly to where he lay due to the unrelenting rain. The local news reports say there is no end in sight and it's already been a week. Flooding on the lower ends has taken lives already and no end in sight just means horror to come. The old man lay there as though nothing was happening, sound asleep. I tapped his shoulder but he didn't move so I nudged him harder with both hands. He rolled over to face me, his hollow eyes stared at me as though I was the intruder and not the rain. I guess in a sense he was right, but at this point, he needed to be awake if he was to live.  "Come with me," I said, reaching out my hand. "Who the hell are you?" the old man grumbled angrily. "I'm from Spencer, the town across the bridge, my name is..." "I don't care, just go on and leave me alone," the man grumbled. "The river is rising fast," I said pointing at th...

 Happy Halloween "It's so dark in here," I said trying to shift my weight before realizing I couldn't move. "Anyone there, hello?" I heard no response. I felt cold and... pressure? "What's going on?" My hand came free and I felt around me. The grit of something in my hands, it felt like dirt. I don't understand why there would be dirt in my bed. I don't understand why there is so much darkness. Light usually crept through the narrow openings and crevices of my door, but I see none. I feel like there is a ton of weight on my chest, almost like something heavy is on me. I wonder what it could be, maybe from the storm last night? I remember the storm, it was something terrible. lightening flashed in streaks across the sky and thunder roared from every direction. The electricity must have been knocked out and that would explain the total darkness. I'll just wait and listen for a moment. I hear vehicles in the distance but still see noth...

Back at it

 I rejoin you tonight with a simple message, I am alive and well. Ian zigged and zagged then zagged and zigged enough that it wasn't so bad in my area, though our hearts and minds are with those who did not fare as well. I will be back on my journey of writing for your entertainment this week. I think I need to sit down and compile a schedule first to keep up with everything I need to do. It seems that either I am getting more things that need fitting into my day or I am getting too old to keep up with it all - most likely Both! What are some topics you might want a story to be about? (leave a comment, and I'll see what I can do for you.) That's it for now, thank you for taking the moment to read this.
