Mystery

A Surprise Delivery
"If you're just tuning in, a fire has been reported on the oil rig, named Roi, in the Gulf of Mexico. This is a US-owned oil platform, which has been in service since 1982. It sustained some damage during Hurricane Katrina and closed briefly for repairs, but has been operational since. Reports coming in from the Coast Guard are saying that this doesn't appear to be an enemy attack. It is confirmed that six crew members were on board at the time of the fire, but the safety of those six remain unknown.

What Is In That Box Between My Screen Door And Wooden Door?
A suspicious package wrapped in brown paper and a small box was in between my screen door and the wooden door. It wasn't evident if it had been mailed or shipped by Fed Ex or another delivery service and placed on the floor. Whatever could it be? It was so light, I thought maybe just paper!

Message in a bottle
I saw her drop it. I watched the tears falling from her face adding salt to the already salted water. Her yellow raincoat was too bright, her violet-hued hair too playful, as she knelt by the edge of the water. Strictly speaking, I should have stopped her. Whatever she dropped would need to be retrieved before I left for the night. I hadn't planned on getting back into the tank. The fish were fed, and I was ready to go home, but as I watched from the dark alcove something inside gave me pause.

This is Water
“Mr. Dolos?” Ally cautiously asked the man who sat hunched, sitting on the bench. The bench was in front of the glass of the aquarium’s largest tank. The glass curved up and over, before disappearing into the black ceiling and walls. At the bench, one was forced to confront a wall of water in front and above.

Dreamer - Chapter 51
"Where are you even going!?" I found myself yelling out as Ace stormed forward. I could already feel myself running out of breath but if I stopped now, I'd lose him. I shouldn't be caring this much. He's discharged from the hospital. He clearly doesn't need my help. "Ace!" I called out once more before sitting down on a random rock that was plopped down at the end of some person's driveway. All this effort and he doesn't give a shit. What was I doing? The old me would've just let him leave the car and drove off. Fuck him. Fuck his attitude.

The Spectacle in the Driveway
A military sized drone hovered like a giant yellowjacket that Saturday morning. The Newark, Delaware neighborhood of large homes and plush landscaping permitted the flying machine to safely enter the air space and carefully drop the giant package.

Aquariummed
This is for the Vocal "Aquarium" challenge, hopefully not exactly what you would expect. This is a chat fiction story, I have not done one for a while so hopefully, it will suit, for this particular situation.

What Happened to Hitler's Body
Most gravestones are a site of solemn remembrance, where mourners bring flowers and share memories. However, there are some people whose graves would be more likely to become public graffiti targets - no one more than Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. But no one’s defacing Hitler’s grave - because he doesn’t have one. Which raises one big question - what happened to Hitler’s body? It was 1945, and the walls were closing in on the Nazi regime.

How Third Richest Man in the World Went Missing From the Sky
What goes up, doesn’t always come down. On a warm day in July, the third-richest man in the world boarded his private plane in the UK to make the short trip to Belgium. Six other people were on that plane, and yet this man somehow disappeared mid-flight. This is one of the most baffling mysteries in human history, about a man who was both loved and hated; a man whose great wealth generated acres of envy. He was tied to strange and questionable business deals, and he was about to work with one of the biggest names in organized crime to bring chaos and pain to Europe.

Trapped Inside
This trip was just a distraction. I'm aware of that. My parents would have never taken me to this place if they didn't feel like I had to just get out of the house at that very second. The day was hectic. Hell. Life's been hectic. Mom found out. Next was dad. I knew dad would find out eventually, even if mom tried her very hardest to keep it from him. Dad always finds out.

Who is Firaro?
It had been four years since I had infiltrated the gang. So far, I had known about their cash transports, their kidnapping methods, their dens and their communication systems.

Drowning my Sorrows
I couldn’t believe she was gone. After all I’d done for her, all the money and love I’d given her, all the indiscretions I’d forgiven because of her ‘compulsive personality disorder,’ she left me to go live in a homeless shelter so she could drink and do drugs with her new homeless boyfriend.
