Tiny Tuesday
Hi everybody. Since we had so much fun with the alphabet exercise of planting three words into our piece a few weeks ago, let's continue that with the letters D, E, and F. Try to place these into your Tiny Tuesday in any order you wish: dandelion, Emmeline, and funky. Remember, have fun, and happy writing! Sammi

My TT: A Bottle of Wine (m)
and Two Dixie Cups (from Sunday’s SS) continued…
* * *
A knock on the glass panel door of Lieutenant Callahan’s office robbed his attention of the file in front of him. Looking up, he eyed the young officer from the night before.
“Sorry to bother you, sir, but I thought you’d want to know when the results from the wine bottle came back.”
He motioned with his right hand for the man to enter. “Yes, please come in, Dunagan.”
Laying a facsimile down on Callahan’s desk, Johnny Dunagan said, “I’m afraid there wasn’t much there. Forensics only found a partial print.”
“Hmm,” Callahan said, raising an eyebrow.
“But I read all the files on her computer, like you said, and I think I found something.” He pulled a folded piece of paper from the front pocket of his blue uniform. “This email indicates she was to meet a person at the Dandelion Bar and Grill on the night of the murder.”
“You got this off of Emmeline Edison’s computer?” Callahan asked.
“Yes, sir. I can’t believe the evidence was right there,” Dunagan beamed.
“Callahan waved a flat palm in the air. “Oh, Sergeant. Don’t get too excited. We have no idea who sent this email, much less if he’s the killer.”
“Well, we can contact the Internet provider. Surely, they’ll know who the sender is. They have records of this stuff.”
Looking across his desk, Callahan picked up a framed picture of a young woman. How easily it could have been his daughter Brandi, he thought. She could’ve been the one writing to the funky_chicken@hotmail.com and ended up dead on that beach. Both her and the victim -- Ms. Edison -- had so many similarities.
“Sir, I’ll -- ”
“I’m sorry, Dunagan. As you were saying … yes, you’re right, let’s contact the ISP’s and see what they’ll tell us.” Callahan walked around his desk and grabbed his coat and hat, and then continued. “For now, I’ve got a family dinner that I’m late for.”

...doesn't it. Well done, EW. Sammi
How thoughtful...
of you to post the continuation of a story while it's fresh in our minds. :)
I like the pacing of your story. You must have written this type of crime story before?

It is good to see that you continued it. Your chars are turning out nicely. Keep up the good work.

Ps: don't worry I had a big mistake on the rom board today. I figure if you write till you can't write any more, then you call it a day!
Have a mystical day,

How creative (m)
Slipping in those three words with such ease and giving the case a turn. Can't wait to read more!

I admit (m)
I don't read much science fict but I found your story to be well written, interesting characters, real dialogue and just the right amount of suspense to keep the reader wondering if they were going to make it and of course I'm a sap for a happy ending!
