The Perfect Crime
Setting (Flashbacks): It’s been 50 years and my name has long since been forgotten. The only place left with my name on it is an old case file in the back of an old, rickety filing cabinet marked “Open For Investigation.” It’s been left to gather dust in the way back of the grey, chipped, and antique middle drawer alongside all the other cold cases. My name is filled in as “Jane Doe.” Because that’s who I was. That’s who I’ve become.

Sessions
Movement of the cat, even a meow, a faint unfamiliar whisper among the cast of her favorite tv shows on her old boxed television set, a swarm of leaves grazing the window of the family room, an untraceable creek in the ancient weathered wood floors of her kitchen, and that's all it took. It was the smallest of sounds, the normal sounds, that caused the most havoc in Sarah’s world.

Facets
Part One - A common, small town, packed with bumbling commoners, some odd, others plain, was subject to an infamous period of deep unease. During this time a leaden strangeness weighed down the town, turning the residents untrusting and timid. Frightened became the default condition. Schools filled with gossip and juvenile naiveté about the topic; kids made up phrases like “the aqua-psycho” or “the river maniac”, and the adults kept those they knew not so well a lot further away; the town was, speaking in older terms, under a spell. Darkness wasn’t imminent, it was here.
