In the Moment

I get lost in the moment watching and reading about certain mysteries 48 hours is a particular show where I feel like I'm at the crime scene and the head line news on the tube and especially the internet where the facts don't always add up is the ones I cannot forget Especially the ones where they say no foul play was involved the case was opened and closed so fast they quickly say its solved claiming the case is a suicide I try to be a sleuth like Columbo where red flags go up in my mind and there's more I need to know Combing and pouring over the few clues I end up scratching my head and wonder why these were the only facts the public was fed where you know there are holes in the story and its still a mystery frustrated you try to let it go thinking ambiguously In my mind I try to see exactly what happened that fateful day who the victim was, their circumstances, and if there was foul play specifically the cases where the victim had suddenly disappeared turning up dead weeks later in a remote spot as we had all feared This murder mystery moment arouses my inner curiosity an amateur sleuth searching for answers that finally satisfies me. 6-10-18

Congratulation on your win! I'm with you. I absolutely love a good mystery whether written or movie. TV is hard for me with so many commercials but DVR"s help that. A well-written poem.
