“Just hold that happy thought, Peter...”
The line went dead, and Detective Peter Files stared blankly at the cement wall. His partner Julie Reilly holstered her weapon and stared at Peter. "AAAAHHHH!!!!" screamed Peter at the top of his lungs as the rotary phone flew into the cement wall - the broken fragments of ancient technology landing in the pool of blood that covered the floor. "This guy is screwing with us," said Peter, more to himself than to Julie. "What are we missing?"
Detective Files began pacing as he waited for the crime scene investigation unit to arrive. His mind was racing, jumping between the 23 murders he has investigated, praying that he finds some connection other than the sadistic signature of - "Just hold that happy thought Peter" at the end of each taunting phone call.
Mind of Ben
I really should have put a coaster under that cup. I'm tired of this vape flavor. I thought kiwi passionfruit was going to be good, but it is actually gross. I really think I need to shower. I know that I showered yesterday, but I can start to smell me which is gross. Emmett (my cat) is messing with a tiny little toy mouse. I'm kind of thrilled about this as the cat doesn't play with anything. There is lot of worry surrounding me right now. What is my life going to look like when I leave for Hawaii to complete my doctorate? What's going to happen with my relationship? I've always hated long distance relationships, but I am in love with my partner. I'm worried that this move is going to break us up instead of glue us together. At the same time, I'm worried that the relationship might be doomed. I'm also worried about failing. My collegiate career thus far has been successful, but leaving my home and support is a huge risk. Life is all about risks and I know that this will be a great thing for me to pursue. But what happens if I fail? What happens if I succeed? Why is Emmett fighting with my other cat Max?
I really hate ketchup. The smell grosses me out and the taste is worse than that. I really need to find someone to wax my eyebrows and I need to get my haircut. Maybe I will go get a new vape, but I will need to shower.
