I took a detour to stop and see if Mr. Petticord would talk to me. Even though I had lived with him for a few weeks it took the better part of two days to find his farm. Farm doesn’t sound right. Farms are big. Homestead? Squatter shack? I had to stop for directions a coupleContinue reading “Why indeed?”

23 & Magic
Once I had the money Kebab-man dispatched one of his daughters to help me investigate. He said he couldn’t do it because he’s too old to be doing magic anymore. Once he realized that his skills were declining he taught his daughters magic so they could carry out his bidding. I said he didn’t lookContinue reading “23 & Magic”
Ask about our high pressure sales techniques
When he was doing his bitter old wizard routine Huddie told me that magic is pointless because spending 20 years to learn a spell to make light is stupid when you can buy a flashlight. He’s wrong about that, but he’s also kind of right. I found the contact information for some of the professor’sContinue reading “Ask about our high pressure sales techniques”
RIP Stella
T8 says she remembers being in a car accident in Hong Kong just like the police said. She didn’t see the other car coming she just remembers being thrown violently. The seatbelt breaking. The searing pain. She remembers being twisted in a way that her body doesn’t go. She said it felt like it tookContinue reading “RIP Stella”
Anti-climax 3 – The Climaxening
The Redacted City Power Suit Gang isn’t happy. Even though I brought them back baseball boy without any violence or publicity, which is what they wanted. I should have lied about bringing in more help. I assured them that a mechanic in Iowa, a drunk old pawnbroker in Louisiana, and another wrestler on the roadContinue reading “Anti-climax 3 – The Climaxening”
Examining the lives and morality of young people at the dawn of the Jazz Age
I took Alpha Chi Delta’s keys and noclipped him. I told him his “brother” was around with food and water in the land of endless yellow walls if he could find him. I parked his Mazda CX-5 by a trailhead. While I was driving his car I thought that I should get a sedan or a vehicleContinue reading “Examining the lives and morality of young people at the dawn of the Jazz Age”
I bet urologists have seen worse
When I woke up Martynova was already gone. I picked up the tailgate special from Chicken Express. 50 spicy tenders, corn on the cob, cheese sticks, mac & cheese, coleslaw, apple pie, biscuits with gravy, and 2 gallons of sweet tea for 34 bucks. I hope some cold chicken is thanks enough for her help. IContinue reading “I bet urologists have seen worse”
Part 7 – Smile through your fear and sorrow (j/k that’s a terrible idea)
What Cassie can tell Grace about the ring is that it’s the wedding ring of Andrea’s sister. You guys remember her right? She was a police detective and she found out about magic and her husband died and she got transfer to work for a fake FBI division to keep her quiet and she hadContinue reading “Part 7 – Smile through your fear and sorrow (j/k that’s a terrible idea)”
Reach
Stella’s mom took me up to the 4th floor to show me a book that has the spell that can bring Stella back. She’s right, the spell is not complicated. You just have to be willing to commit murder. No, five murders. I figured out that she didn’t have to take me up there. SheContinue reading “Reach”
Wash your hands
I didn’t know that there were big forests in Alabama. That sounds stupid but I thought that the Pacific Northwest was timber country. I drove past several huge timber trucks. I saw signs for the Alabama Loggers Council by the road. Stella’s family’s compound is in the woods. I knew her family was rich butContinue reading “Wash your hands”
