fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about copycat killers, eyewitnesses testimony, what makes a murderer and more.
The Witch Trials
“I looked, and looked, and this I came to see: That what I thought was you and you, was really me and me.” (Ken Wilber) When we look through the history pages and read about “The Witch Trials” --- it is hard to believe that people can be whipped up to such hysteria that they came to believe things that were just not true (or possible) --- and that people were executed for (supposedly) doing these impossible things.

Fur Elyse
Life is full of irony, both literal and figurative, and a deeply rooted appreciation for the absurd has served me well. Cynicism and gallows humor inoculate those of us for whom unchecked empathy would otherwise render inert. Strength through sarcasm, if you will.

Clue in the Garten
You are a kindergarten at Isopropyl Elementary, Paoli, Indiana. No one has asked you why your school was named after rubbing alcohol. They are more likely to ask you about the double murders that happened last Thursday in your neighborhood. Given you are 6 and was hanging like a banshee in your school’s jungle gym when the crime happened—around eleven in the morning—would not really hold back anyone from asking you, a little girl, about the gruesome killings. You live in that neighborhood, in that quiet cul-de-sac, probably bike-raced with the kid sister or kid brother of one of the doomed.

Carl
Carl looked in the mirror nervously, running the comb through his gray beard. He couldn't remember ever feeling this nervous. His stomach was in knots, and for a brief moment, he thought he was going to lose his dinner. He closed his eyes tightly, took a slow, deep breath in through his nose, and let it out carefully through pursed lips. He opened his eyes and examined his image in the mirror once again.

The Walk
March 31, 2009 It started off like any other Tuesday. 5:44 a.m. and the music starts blasting. Sharon sprung up, turned the coffee pot on, and proceeded to the bathroom for her shower. After that, she wakes up her fiancé, Don, followed by her 3 year old son, Mikey, for a quick breakfast before they all run out the door for the day. She has to take Mikey to the sitter, Dana, and drop Don off at work before going into the bank to start her own work day. Dana, who is also Don's sister, was Mikey's babysitter at the time. She was a total lifesaver.
