Weekly Contest #19
"Why did you kill him, Stan?" "I said I want my lawyer." "Come on now. You're making this way too difficult. Just admit it, it'll be easier on your sentence." "Hey don't blame me for something I didn't do. Give me a lawyer, then I'll talk." "Forget your lawyer, Stan. He won't help you, not after I show him incriminating video footage." The detective leaned back in his chair and straightened his tie. "What are you talking about? What video?" Stan’s eyes narrowed. "You, buying a screwdriver at Hardware-4-Life; hours before you murdered Joseph ...
Weekly Contest #18
Francis pushed down on the crowbar, putting all his weight into it. The window swiftly rose accompanied by the sound of splitting timber. His heart skipped. He remained motionless, head ducted between his shoulders, listening for any sign of movement. Nothing came from inside the house.

"Alright, go ahead and chew the paper again." It left a few red dots on the filing and the adjacent teeth. Switching to the blue side, the doctor instructed his patient "Now move your jaw from left to right. Well done, Jacob. " He gently brushed the tooth with his high-speed burr under the microscope, and then polished the filling until it felt s...
The grey door opened, and a massive man entered the room. He wore a suit and tie, his face clean-shaven. He dragged a metal chair across the floor and sat down at the table. With one hand, he unbuttoned his jacket, with the other he placed a thick yellow envelope on the table. "How are you, Kaleb?" No response came from the other person sitting opposite. "Do you know why you are here, Kaleb?" The official asked without looking directly at his subject. He slowly unraveled the red twine securing the envelope. "Those clothes we gave you, are th...
