Wrong Place; Right Crime
Crime Fiction by Marek Z. Turner Biting his lip, Jack contemplated the risk he was taking. His parole conditions specified no alcohol.

The Water Tower
Crime Fiction By Tony Sweatland Whipping post by the Allman Brothers Band was on when I started the old restored Ford from the sixties. Perfect song for a getaway. It’d be even better if someone was chasing me, but nobody drove out this far, this early, unless they lived out here. Worst case scenario forContinue reading “The Water Tower”
An Inconvenient Death

The ups were never that high, and the downs were certainlyContinue reading “Thirteen Red Roses”
Animals
Crime Fiction by Rider Lemmond I have always been fascinated by death–so has everyone else, but not to my degree, I think. Religions say the soul leaves the body upon death and that this process could be observed. I even heard about an experiment where someone was weighed the moment before and after death. TheyContinue reading “Animals”
Teddy Bear
Crime Fiction By Stuart Stromin Even when I was a cop, I was a criminal. It’s not what you think, I wasn’t on the take. I wasn’t corrupt in that systemic way, when there’s a brown envelope on the desk every Friday, in exchange for someone to look the other way. That sort of thingContinue reading “Teddy Bear”

We traveled there as part of a trip that included several stops. While there I did some research on a couple ofContinue reading “Travel: Savannah, Georgia”
