Numbers

Back at the Station Polly’s empty seat dominates the room.

Her colleagues are all thinking the worst and it spurs them on daily. There are daffodils in a milk bottle on the filing cabinet

They had to bring in another cork board for the photos of the ten missing boys. The fifteen girls in the basement were on the original board along with photos of the two dead girls.

Excitingly the murderer has just slipped up and is only hours away from getting caught. Unfortunately it’s going to take the police a while to realise the murderer isn’t the kidnapper.

Lisa – Position

A Chat

We talk seriously when we get back. I thought I’d smelled an open fire and I couldn’t be sure, but I thought I’d seen him watching behind the door. I wonder if I’m just enjoying recounting my adventure.

We all agree, we’re in an odd position. We’re prisoners, his prisoners but actually we’re all in an unlocked basement just because we don’t know what’ll happen if we leave.

I’m sure, at the start. He HAD locked the door. I want to talk about the other girls, the bodies that have been found, but I can’t.

A lot is left unsaid.

He’s not locked the door.

Maybe he never has, we all stare at it wearing the same expression- an odd, hopeful scared face. None of us want to make the first move because what if it’s a trick. It has to be. He didn’t answer when I‘d asked if we could leave the basement.

Why has he got us here anyway?

Where are we?

I notice a movement behind the crack in the door panel. He’s there watching, waiting. I mouth this to the others and we sit wide eyed and rigid.

Things were better when the door was locked.

Miss Honeypot

Lisa tells a tale of… um… discovery?

Miss Honeypot was the most beloved kindergarten teacher at Bluestone School, always calm, sweet and exceptionally kind.
This last year had been rough personally for her, though; one of her cats died and her house had been expropriated by the government.
She kept up appearances, though. No one had any idea at school that Miss Honeypot was that close to reaching her breaking point.
That fateful day, the principal walked in after school to find Miss Honeypot leaned over a desk discovering exactly what it was about glue consumption that was so appealing to so many students over the years.

Restraint

This story from Lisa has a cute bunny… and… um…. gunplay.

Elmer couldn’t believe Bugs got a medical degree. “A silly wabbit for a doctor, I’m never getting sick!” Elmer worked very hard to keep himself healthy.
A few years later, however, Elmer and the wife began having a few problems in the boudoir, so he ordered himself some bargain-priced pills to “get things going”.
Elmer knew something was horribly wrong about three hours after taking the first pill. He would have to go see Bugs.
It took every bit of Elmer’s willpower not to shoot Bugs right between the eyes as he was met with the usual: “eh…what’s up, doc?”

Over-study

Lisa from Lemons and Lolipops has been a loyal regular in the Weekly Challenges, and is now offering up this gem mid-week:

She had been studying feverishly for midterms, often joking about her brain hurting from being “too full.” Her self-induced pressure to maintain a 4.1 was consuming her.
For three weeks straight, she did nothing but hole up in the library, a mountain of books and coffee cups surrounding her. Her diet consisted solely of coffee, Tylenol, and liquid antacid. Her appearance became ghastly: pale and gaunt, with large black circles under her eyes.
The night of the final midterm, her overworked brain finally revolted. It throbbed so violently, the top of her head exploded as she collapsed on her Scantron.
