The Big Green Egg

I frequently eat fish, meat and eggs, in an effort to build muscle. However, I have been concerned of the unwanted trans-fats that exist in bacon, pork, and other meats, but because I am a picky eater, I often look out for the larger and noticeable pieces of fat. As a kid, the only proteins…

Chapter Two The Dead Don’t Talk Meeting with the agency’s co-founder, Twist Top-secret hideout Thursday, 10:30 a.m. Oliver Twistleton (a.k.a. Twist), an associate at the Deadwood Detective Agency, was waiting for Seth and me in our tree house—sorry, our top-secret hideout—complete with its three-legged desk and secondhand chairs.

In order to reduce your carbon footprint, they would say “take shorter showers, shut the lights off, and instead of having your parents drive you to a friend’s house, walk.” I always listened to this advice, trying to be as green as I possibly could. Last year I watched an eye opening documentary about our current climate and environmental crisis; however, the documentary didn’t focus on how we drove, if we left the lights, on or if our shower was too long.

And Rosario was not dying in the traditional sense, as others outside the city might think. He was not dying of natural causes.

As the rising sun shines through the curtains, I open my eyes to the beautiful colors of blue, green and gray. The humming bird moved from flower to flower smelling them and deciding which one it likes better. Spring is the best time in Michigan when all the birds are out and the sun is not to hot but not to cold. Carleton is a nice small country where neighbors are very friendly and you don’t have to worry about anything because nothing really happens in the country. The land is wide and long…
