Mystery-Maker

I make mysteries. Oh that sounds eerie, just like that. It’s best to say: I assemble a plotline and compile different routes and clues by which a crime-enthusiast then meanders, in hopes of winning the satisfaction of unveiling a mystery and therefore the honour that comes with that level of Sherlock-holmian ability. Funnily enough, that has been the pushing factor for some users to go and enrol in the study of criminology or forensic science, but that’s not why I do it. My own fascination comes with that childish excitement you experience when working through the steps a real assailant or mysterious missing cake would make, without the necessity of dealing with an aftermath. Simply a good feeling and if you’re romantic, a moral.
