THE GREAT COOKIE HEIST
Case of the Baby Cookie Thieves
As identical twins innocently sit and play, their mother peers over at them.
"Joe, I know you're saying it can't possibly be them, but the cookies are missing again."
"No way Sharon. They're two years old."
"Yeah, and kids are smart today. You always joke that if we're ever found murdered, check the twins first. And then there's the crumbs."
Joe laughs. The twins seemingly laugh too.
"Sharon, It's cookies...let it go."
Sharon squints at his flippant attitude.
"Crumbs again in the crib?" Sharon rushes to the kitchen to count her cookies, again.
Joe, is leaving for work, but see's Sharon's distress, "You gotta let it go Baby." He leaves the house.
"Let it go," Sharon mocks. "I'll 'let it go' while I check the camera I installed yesterday." Sharon moves to the toaster camera she set up. "I knew it!' she yelled. She couldn't wait to show Joe her findings when he got home.
Sharon shoved the evidence in Joe's face as soon as he walked in. Imagine his surprise, the picture showed him as the cookie thief. He'd steal the cookies for the girls and give them to them before they went to sleep. They laugh.
Case Closed.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

In the Dark
Icy blue eyes stared at me through the darkness. The fact that I could see these eyes so clearly in the darkness sent shockwaves up my eleven-year-old spine. I had just woken up from a rather intense nightmare, incidentally about some creep that was watching me at the foot of my bed. ‘’I can see you,’’ I whispered.
