Sara’s Strange Case of Quiet Unfriending
It was another rainy day, sitting in my office wondering what’s the point of this work? If I go another day without a case, I’ll have to quit. Join the forces of workers that earn their daily bread or gluten free alternatives, with regular nine to five jobs. The world of private eyes and detectives is crumbling. The rise of social media, GPS tracking on phones and personal devices, and the general vibe of never being ‘offline’ or out of sight from one camera or another today. It all seriously hit the private eye business model. People just don’t need us anymore, they can discover proof of a spouse’s infidelity with the help of an Uber driver now. It’d been a few weeks since any decent paying work, things were getting tight. I wouldn’t be able to be picky with clients anymore. I decided I would take whatever job next walked through my door, regardless of taste or pay, whatever came next I would do it … I had to do it.

The Voodoo shop of Caribbean solstice 🏝️
Summer solstice Caribbean style is not your Momma's solstice. Better break out the sunscreen and air conditioning, which, BTW, most of the Island folks cannot afford to pay the enormous electrical bills for. The lovely tourists may need to keep their cool cars, buses and limos close by.

The Little Grembly Ladies’ Association Soiree
The town of Little Grembly was generally considered by the residents of the surrounding regions to be the absolutely dullest place imaginable. As a satellite suburb of Turping, it comprised housing developments and a shopping mall that had: a supermarket, a hairdresser, a liquor store that sold only mainstream brands, and half a pub – the other half being a small white-goods store that appeared to specialize in toasters and hair-straighteners. Consequently Grembly was avoided by almost anyone of taste, interest or good sense.
