A Missed Connection

A story inspired by a 3 sentence craigslist ad.

WHITE ROCK LAKE (DALLAS):

“I was walking, and we saw each other - about 8 pm tonight - lemme know if it was you and what color shirt I was wearing.”

Gases In the Garden

TRIGGER WARNING: includes topics surrounding assault, sexual violence, and suicide.

Stripes Smeared In Red

A tragic Police Report I discovered while doing some research inspired me to fill in the blanks from the facts: 

6-year-old boy finds mother dead in the kitchen. No sign of forced entry. Suspected Homicide with No Leads.
