Icy rain poured on the cops.
The grim chaos didn’t surprise them. It was a safe haven for the regulars. A place they could shoot up.
“Overhere, Carl”.
“What da we have?” asked the coroner.
“DOA, female, white, blond, maybe 20, looks like an overdose.”
“Damn, these young people. They think they’re invincible.”
Gagging, Sarge nodded his head.
“Yeah, looks like heroin. She’s got teeth; that’ll help. Get her down to the morgue, ASAP.”
~~~~~
“Frank, she’s back here.”
“Seeing her, he screamed, Myrna.”
“God no, he wailed. Man, that’s my sister.”
“She’s been missing. She’s no junkie. She was kidnapped.”

Very realistic, Isadora. It would be hard finding a relative in a place like that. Good writing. —- Suzanne

I can’t imagine seeing someone you love in that condition. It’s a common thing now-a-days. It always seems to be on the news.
Thanks for visiting, Suzanne, and leaving your lovely comment.

Great and very sad tale. I especially liked the last line, presumably they re in denial about their sister’s condition

I think people do have denial about the behavior of their family members. I’m glad you enjoyed my story, Michael.

HA HA … I hadn’t realized that, Frank. My neighbors name is Frank. I was using his name. 😂
I’ve been a bit slow on the blog for awhile. Once Spring arrived, I was outside and ready to tend
to my orchids. I still have Srping fever. It’s been beautifully warm and alive with colorful flowers.
Have a wonderful Sunday …

I wish it were totally true. As of today, our humidity is high and rain has been falling everyday for a week. The only ones happy are my orchids. : )

Oh man… what a horrid discovery.. Then again, each DOA is someone’s relative, isn’t it?

My retired police officer husband has told me many tales of his horrid discoveries.
Yes, a DOA is always related to someone. Sad, the way life is changing before our eyes.
Thanks for popping by, Dale.

I appreciate the notation on the spelling, Alicia. I’ll go back and change it. My spell check changed the spelling on a few words in a writing submission for a contest I had entered lowering my score because of that. I might have to get that off of my computer. Thank you for enjoying my story. It’s always a pleasure to see you here.

Querida Isadora,
This one is so realistic. I want to say “no wonder she has teeth.” I hate to sound that way, but the area I used to work in was once known as the meth capital of the world…(It’s since fallen a few notches) and I’ve often mused what the tooth to person ratio might be there. 😉 Bien escrito, mi amiga. Tenga buen fin de semana.
Shalom y abrazos,
Rochelle

Querida Rochelle,
Yo también … I didn’t like that line either. I’d written a longer version of this story for a writing submission.It sounded better in that one.
When I shortened it to 100 words I lost myself. LOL 🤓 Plus, I wanted to make sure I added my story before the deadline. I know … NO EXCUSES for the teacher. Thank you for taking me to task. It’s the way I learn. 😟 😊
When I get the critique back from the longer version I’ll post it – Grrr … 3 month wait, though.
Tough to know there are areas like that are so drug infested they can’t rise from it. Our country is going down so fast. It’s difficult to read the newspaper and watch the news. Fingers crossed someday it willl all get better. Gracias por su visita. Espero le gusto el cafe. ☕️
Con carino y Shalom,
Isadora 😎
