My partner, Seth Holloway—a tall, slim sleuth wearing a brown trench coat and a deerstalker cap—continued fiddling with his flashlight. He liked to tinker. Seriously, a high school marching band could have paraded past and he wouldn’t have noticed. I tapped him on the shoulder. “Ahhh,” he blurted, nearly catapulting out of his coat. “Look.” The ghost flickered behind the…

backcountry, a figure loomed through the dust of the dirt road. A small child, up ahead, was sauntering along the road with no destination in sight. The boy was ten miles from the city, and the villages were another ten miles away. He carried a flashlight in his right hand and a single bar of soap, wrapped in Marriott paper, in his left.

I played tennis today and my friend Geri Crowle invited me to spend the night at her house. I had my overnight bag fully packed and was ready to leave when Claudia stopped me and told me I couldn’t go because I just had to go meet her friend who was a talking vixen. She said that her vixen friend was in trouble and that she had to talk to to me, Claudia, Charles, and Janie tonight. I thought she was talking about an imaginary at first because of her age.

I stood at the edge, questioning my intelligence and commitment, wondering what it was I should have done differently. I came up with nothing. I put everything I had, including my life's savings into creating a body mixer.
