Missing
Anything can go missing. The mystery in each missing case comes from the questions:
- Since when was it missing?
- Where was it last seen?
- Who saw it last?
- What is its use?
- Why did it go missing?
- How did they find it?
Let me tell you upfront so that you're not confused when you find a missing item. There is such a thing as a dimensional hole. Trust me on this. Or how else would you explain that the pencil you KNOW you left on the desk isn't there. But it's there when you come home the next day and NOBODY else was in your place? The answer is that it popped back into existence out of its dimensional hole.
That solves the case of the missing pencil, the missing glasses, and other small inanimate objects.
The mystery is though ... what did they do in that dimensional hole? Was the pencil used to write something? Something creepy? Something mysterious? Were the glasses used by a myopic fairy to read the news? How come those items come back out of the dimensional hole?
Explore these mysteries in your next mystery story. Or add an element of mystery by including a bit on a missing item that mysteriously reappears to any other genre to give it some zing.

For my last Mystery Newsletter "The Stranger" , I received the following replies:
🎼 RRodgersWrites 🎶  wrote: Thank you so much for including my short story, "Find Us" in your Editor's Picks above! What a nice surprise!
This one was significant to me because I mostly write historical fiction, children's lit, and poetry. I had been looking at the prompts for Screams"", the Supernatural Writing Contest, the others in the horror, mystery, or SciFi genre. I don't read these genres much and definitely haven't written in those genres often, so I was hesitant to throw my hat in the ring. I finally decided to give it a whirl, and this one won! That encouraged me and inspired me to begin creating another submission for another similar contest.
These factors to making this an exciting and memorable success which is only multiplied by your including it in your Editor's Picks.
Thanks again!
Ruth R.
You are very welcome and congratulations on winning in the contest!

The BYU was brought in and later the 3 kids were discovered in a house where the 2 siblings who had disappeared years earlier were found, grown-up at the same time. Their storyline failed for me. How had they been kept that long? I'm going to have to go back and look it up to see what I missed. Stranger in our midst doesn't need to be a real stranger. They are the obvious first questioned. What about the "strange" people we see every day? Best place to hide someone is in plain site. See: Elizabeth Smart or my favorite Colleen Stan:Girl in a box.
You are so correct that the "strange" people we see every day qualify as "stranger danger." |
