The Window Washers
by: Dennis R. Humphreys “Hey Julio. We have some wind today,” his partner, Lance Tannhauser observed. Julio didn't like the window. The height didn't bother him but being up fifty stories outside of a high rise on scaffolding where the wind was even worse, coursing between other high rises, was scary. To make matters worse, he had a partner that would suddenly start shaking the scaffolding and screaming 'we're gonna fall', thinking it was funny. Julio used to be a cliff diver in his home country of Mexico, entertaining the tourists outside of Cancun. He was used to the heights and he was used to the winds there. You could have, to a certain degree, control over both on the cliffs. It seemed here you had no control over the winds or what your partner might do. You had to trust someone else. In Mexico, it was just yourself and nature.

The Parliament
The light of the moon was blinding as Rickard looked up at the night sky. He could not remember the last time he saw the moon as bright as tonight. Though he knew that this moon would most likely be his last. As he thought about it, a tear began to roll down his cheek, and the brisk winter air quickly turned the tear into ice on his face. Rickard closed his eyes to shield them from the light of the moon as he felt his body being pulled over the forest floor. The grunts of his captor could be heard with each and every tug of his body. Rickard tried to struggle once more against his restraints, but it was no use. The knots that bound him weren’t going to give and escape was impossible.

Consequences - A Crime Story Based Off Of True Events
“Belladona Grey should be charged with the murder of her husband, Dashiell Parker as she had a false alibi. She was in fact, not at the bar at 11:00 PM, as the waitress at the bar, Kimberly Fawn claimed she’d seen her exit way earlier, at around half past 9 and she even has her video camera to prove it. The drive to the house is merely 25 minutes, giving her plenty of time to poison him and clean up her act. She’d cooked dinner for him, and that is why remnants of antifreeze were on his plate, even after she’d tried to cover up the murder scene. There was antifreeze hidden in her house, under the bed in the guests room. And she had a reason to kill him too. He has 789,450 dollars in his life insurance and she kept asking him about it so he became suspicious and records show that just earlier that day, at 6:43 PM he pulled out his life insurance towards her and gave it to their 14 year old daughter, Emery. Emery was said to have “written” a suspicious “suicide note” and kept it in her hands as she lay unconscious on her bed as she’d “overdosed”. But the mother “found” her and called the police just in time. But the toxins found in her body were not the pills on the nightstand her mom had claimed she was addicted to. It was antifreeze. And Emery, who remembers the incident vividly claims her mother and her had a drink before she passed out. She had been feeling nauseous so she went to lie down. The next thing she knew, she was in the ambulance and people thought she’d killed her father who she’d claimed in the letter was reportedly abusive to her mother. She denied this, and having any correlation with the scene at all. She even now suspected her mother had killed her father, isn’t that right Emery Parker-Grey?”
