Block 19 I

11/22/2021

 
Block 19 I, Short Story, Matthew Dewey, The Penned Sleuth, Overpopulation and toxic air plagued the planet. The solution to both problems was to box everyone up in multilevel superstructures that had not a single window, just incredibly strong walls. Everyone was moved in and the doors were closed for good. Although one of these levels could hold an entire city, it soon became a cramped box, forcing people to wait until someone was incinerated before they had a single kid.

Murder by the Lake IV

11/8/2021

 
Murder by the Lake IV, Matthew Dewey, Short Story, The Penned Sleuth, “Are you sure you didn’t see any strange individuals visit Smith?” Cameron asked the hotel attendant.  “I’m sorry, nobody that isn’t on the register.”  There was nobody on the register that wasn’t accounted for, so that could only mean Smith had left for late-night meetings, considering the times he came back. It was further confirmation for Detective Cameron Short, but nothing new.
