This began life as a deleted scene from the novel A New Prospect. But my Scottish grandfather told me never to waste anything, so I embellished the beginning and made it a short story. It's not a who-dunnit, but rather a police procedural. Comments always appreciated.

In this chapter, James, who has already had a preliminary call from the kidnappers and a "parcel" delivered to his house, is waiting with Eloise, for instructions as to where to deliver the money.

Summary:

"We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow. " -Ted Bundy I am not as different from you as you think. I had a very normal life on the outside. From the outside I had everything: A nice house, good job, a pretty wife and a great family. I was the American dream. On the outside looking out was a monster. Waiting in the shadows of that postcard life was a killer. The true me. I was not so different from you. A productive member of society. I was a member of united Baptist church, parent teacher association in my children’s school, volunteered at soup kitchens and I also was an assistant Boy Scout leader. I had dreams and aspirations, just like you. So don’t think we are that different. It all started with a book, actually it was an idea. I never could sit down in front of computer and just type. Always wanted to be writer but never could tell a story. My interest was crime fiction. The kind of story my life turned into. The ones that have some cocky police offer tracking down a clever serial killer. It case you don’t know my story, I wasn’t the cop. Never could get myself inspired enough to find the right words to put on the blank page. Now the story is no longer fiction so the words would come easy. This is my story. I’m not writing this story because I feel I owe it to the families to ask for their forgiveness. I’m not writing so I can sell a bunch of book and make a million dollars. I’m writing because people need to know the stories of the victims. I will not ask you to forgive me but I will ask you to understand I had no control over it. This is confession. I don’t want peace with god or even myself. I don’t deserve it and I don’t need it. I can sleep at night knowing what I did. Even with my impending release from this world, I do not fear what is ahead of me. I know my time here is numbered, actually its only two weeks away. I won’t make any excuses for why I did what I had to do. I was told that “there is only what you got to do. No right or wrong, just what has to be done.” I don’t feel remorse. I don’t have some guilt weighting me down. There is no little cricket telling me that I have to get this off my chest. My conscience is clean. They understood that this was beyond my control and theirs. This is my burden.

I am getting closer to finding a comfortable format to call my own I have written two large Narratives one at 1800 words and one at 800. The 800 word narrative was received extremely well and the longer one not so well. So I have decided 800 words is my cutoff using a base ABAB rhyming pattern but that will vary because I enjoy changing it up. This is a short narrative useing alexandrine please let me know if it is technically sound. I have experimented with Alexandrines and I feel like this is the direction I would like to go. The 12 syllable count gives me a huge buffer and I feel will work. If anyone is familiar with this meter please scrutinize this and correct it as needed.

Summary:

The first book in the Eagle Plume Detective series. To help you decide if you want to read this: this is a police crime story, not a mystery and I write in multiple POVs, though I do try to make it obvious when I switch characters. It does involve a shapeshifter quasi-psychic detective, so there's an element of the paranormal. The main focus, however, is solving the crime. Hope you choose to read on!
