    A Little Noise in the Library

    “Would you be quiet?” Ms. Stern hissed through clenched teeth as a giant chicken approached. She drew her sword (standard librarian tool) and moved into a fighting stance. The chicken bwaked. Hazel giggled. I clapped a hand over her mouth. She put her hands over mine as Ms. Stern muttered, “I told Roger chickens were a mistake to add to the collection.”Fifty-Seven Minutes Earlier I took a deep breath as I stood on the steps of the Haversham Library.

Spiders’ webs, ragged curtains, dirty, moldy windows, a tablecloth stained with bloody spots and glass shards strewn everywhere was enough to call in the Scooby-Doo gang or Nancy Drew. If they didn’t come, I would solve the mystery before the villain got complete...Tu8one door

    The House by the Road

    “We took the correct turn, dear” he said a little annoyed. He had Google map right in front of him and it was yet to let him down. The fork in the road was a bit tricky in the fading light. It did not look at all like he had imagined inspite of the faint street light. But the map. When in doubt trust the map. How about ancient mariners with just a compass and an infinite directions to mistake. I explained all this. But she was not convinced. I could sense that.
