Remember

Forget what you know. What you know is no longer how you should think. Think about what makes you remember. Remember not to forget to remember.

A blue misunderstanding(

The basement. The dampness of the earth. Misery loves hiding under the coasters of the highballs like small children lost at the fair. 

Rain looks for the cracks. Parents wash their feet. 
Meat is tied into roasts. Holiday. 

Holiday party. 

Captain

The  boy painted a wall of his room black. This was Monday.  On Tuesday he painted another wall black and decided to sit in the corner. The blue line ran outside his window and the breeze off the desert filled the room with the smell of yellow. On Friday the boy painted the ceiling  black and watched the smoke trail thru the air to the open window. 

After the Collapse

A soft flow of a western breeze follows the family to the well. The family of four is trailed by a small dog. The early July sun warms the field drying the morning dew.

The well was dug by the father of the father. For years the family and residents for a 2 mile radius have shared the water. The community was a sustainable community that was respectful and helpful to each other. The year was 2021.

Williams Lake

According to authorities the average temperature at Williams lake was 20 degrees below zero. The fresh water lake during five months of the year was frozen solid. Starting by late December the ice was thick enough to support the weight of a semi truck. It was these factors that contributed to most of the remains of the first body found to remain almost entirely intact.
Detective Timmons was off duty when he came across the body face down on the east shore of Williams lake. Authorities are waiting to release the name of the victim once the family has been notified.

Deacon Lake

A boat carries an undisclosed amount of gold to a secluded house over looking the northern most tip of the lake. Eyewitnesses Bill Wingate and Tim Reynolds confirm that the last radio transmission received by Lois Marvin was approximately 10am. Local authorities after questioning other residents have two possible suspects with ties to Citi Group.

Clear Water

Ray and Tanya were comfortable together. At dinner Ray would hold Tanya's chair and look at her when she talked. He seemed interested and sweet. Tanya smiled  and also seemed to return Ray's interest. From a distance they looked like a happy couple that were still getting to know each other. This is how they wanted others to see them. The plan was simple.  Be somewhere public but act in a way that a casual viewer would just see their behavior, disregard and pass over their table for something of more interest. Ray and Tanya wanted to blend in among the sea of people. Ray would say, "let's be two drops of water in this glass", looking at the glass of water the waiter just filled. Tanya would then say, "how about the ocean...that glass in little tiny.."
 
They would smile after this exchange and begin the conversation their handlers had planned for the evening.
