Island Odd Couple
On a breathtaking tropical island surrounded by rolling waves and lush forests, Harold - a gruff retiree - and Polly - a chatty parrot - were cast adrift by fate.

Life and Death Meet on Vacation
The tropical island was a sanctuary for families coming to escape their mundane lives that revolved around their work. It was a perfect place for people from all over the world to reside for a week. The all inclusive resort was nestled among the palm trees with the ocean as the background. There were loud children running back and forth from the snack shacks to the various pools that were located within eye sight of their parents. Everyone seemed to be here with someone except for Evangeline. She was perched on a bar stool in front of a slow bar that was located near an adult’s only pool. It provided a little distance from the children, but not from noise. The hot sun beat down on her body causing her ivory skin to glow. You would expect her skin to turn red, but she was used to hotter conditions. She lifted her face to the sun and felt the beams of light penetrate her closed eyes through her sunglasses. She wished that the sun would get hotter and melt away her stress from having to save humans on a day to day basis. She was a saving angel after all.

The party had been well-marketed on social media. Many influencers had also been recruited to promote it to their followers.

Alpha-Boring
She sat back on the lounge chair, relaxing, enjoying. Another beautiful day on the beach. Anna looked up at the umbrella covering her lounge chair, then out again to her feet. The waters were beginning to wash away her pedicure, but that was okay, she didn't mind it. The waters were still that day, quiet, they had been for so long; one long unending beach vacation. She looked good in her swimsuit and she had a great view, at least she had that going for her.

If walls could talk, they would have many stories to tell. They would have seen the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, the laughter and tears of generations of people who lived and loved within their confines.

“If these walls could talk? Eh, Goldie?” I could barely hear them ramble on as they shoved themselves against my wallpapering, and felt a rip as bodies rammed into my chest.

The sun was setting over the crystal-blue waters on the tropical island. It had been a long day, and although the air was still warm, there was a chill in it that seemed out of place. It had been days since Anna had arrived on this island, desperate to escape her life back home. She hadn't expected much from this place - just some time alone with her thoughts - but she wasn't prepared for what happened next.

The Perfect Murder
As I sit here watching another episode of Columbo, an old detective tv show that I still love, I wonder if he is right when he says that a "perfect murder is an illusion". Can there ever be a perfect murder, so perfect that even enemies would look at it and say, "no it wasn't them".
