Shattered Reflections
Detective Michael Harris stared at the crime scene before him, the dim light of the streetlamp casting an eerie glow on the abandoned warehouse. Raindrops echoed in the silence, creating a rhythmic symphony on the wet pavement. The air was thick with tension as he approached the yellow tape, his worn-out trench coat absorbing the chilling drizzle.

Finley High Confessions
Part One Connor stares down at the red plastic cup in his hand. He hates parties. The cup only has soda in it, and he only has it because he doesn’t need people looking at him like he’s some sort of freak. As if slurred speech and being imbalanced was the only way to have fun when you’re in high school.

Where did they go?
“Don’t call me a lower-than-dirt criminal until the facts—yes, facts from my point of view. All of it, the money, that detective I thought was one of you, all the tunes just get me out of this damn position. I’m fresh out of an arm cast, undoing weeks of physical therapy progress.

…in light of my own changing values – the expansion of my family and the recent deaths from improperly using the technique – I have decided to discontinue the practice.

There Were Four
The office felt different. There were still the old, dusty, metal file cabinets and the half-empty water cooler and the rusting air vents with the loud, clanging air conditioner. But everything came off in a brighter hue. Detective Jameson straightened his tie. It was new, if anyone cared to ask, though they wouldn’t.

While I slept it off; 100 feet away from me...
It was a little after 7:00 pm when James Smythe came up aside the camper he had parked along Beach Ave next to the boardwalk, where it ended. He had just gotten off of a divorce case where he had to reveal to the woman that her husband was indeed having an affair with someone else; another man, which hit her hard. The whole fiasco was settled (as far as his part went), and he e-mailed the rather raunchy pictures he took to the wife who immediately copied them over to her lawyer.
