Who Dunnit?
It was a fine day for watching migrating birds, so hubby and I made a trip to our local bird-watching site, Sage Creek promontory. We had bundled up in thick, wooly sweaters and hiking boots for our jaunt. The air was crisp and smelled like burning leaves and the sweet, rotting apples that dotted the ground in the field on the other side of the road.

Who Stole the Selkie's Coat?
Take out your monocle and don your tweed, for I have something you must read. Gentle reader, beware, for this is a tale of epic twists and turns. It exists perhaps between the ethereal and the real. You may not believe it. I beseech you, though, to suspend disbelief (and judgment) until the tale is done. If you grant me this, as your humble narrator, I will mayhaps let you choose what ending befits you and the worldly sensibilities you have, no doubt, gathered from your experiences heretofore, before having chanced upon this tale...

Echoes Of The Past
The local pub looked unrecognisable with the shimmering lights and elegant decorations, echoing with laughter and chatter as guests mingled, celebrating Eliza’s 18th birthday. Her radiant smile lit up the room, but behind her sparkling eyes lay a shadow of sorrow that never quite faded. As the evening progressed, she found herself surrounded by friends and family, showering her with gifts and well-wishes. Each present unwrapped brought a momentary distraction from the haunting memories that lingered in the corners of her mind. Amidst the pile of brightly wrapped packages, one gift caught her attention- a small, intricately wrapped box with no name tag. Curiosity piqued, she carefully peeled back the layers of wrapping paper, revealing a polished wooden box engraved with delicate patterns that gave her an uneasy sense of familiarity.

Just Like Iago
There is a morbid fascination with murder, I think, if that's not too obvious and trite a thing to say. I bet if you looked at the proportion of TV programmes that are dedicated to the discovery of who-killed-who, it would be a fair percentage. And so many adopted formats!
