Our story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns all over the world...
Safe
Decent
Innocent
Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath. The name of our town is Riverdale.....
And our story begins, I guess, with what the Blossom twins did this summer.
On the Fourth of July, just after dawn, Jason and Cheryl Blossom drove out to Sweetwater River for an early morning boat ride.
The next thing we know happened for sure is that Dilton Doiley who was leading Riverdale's Boy Scout Troop on a bird watching expedition, came across Cheryl by the river's edge.
Riverdale Police dragged Sweetwater River for Jason's body, but never found it.
So, a week later the Blossom family buried an empty casket and Jason's death was ruled an accident, as the story Cheryl told made the rounds.
Cheryl dropped a glove in the water, and Jason reached down to get it, and accidentally tipped the boat, and panicked, and drowned.
As for us we're still talking about the "July Fourth Tragedy"
On the last day of summer vacation, When a new mystery rolled into town...
"Now brace yourselves. The apartment is small, a pied-a-terre, but quality always. Plus, It's the only piece of property in my name and not your father's" Hermonie tells the two girls as she starts to head in as the two look at the place than at each other as they both smile walking in behind their mother as Veronica grabs her hand knowing she was nervous as she was able to take a deep breath and calm down as the two girls walk into the apartment.
"Ms. Hermione. Welcome home!" a guy says as they get in going over to their mother "Smithers! You're a sight for sore eyes" Hermonie tells him, kissing his cheek "How was the ride?" Smithers asked her. "No traffic thank god. Smithers, I'd like to introduce you to my daughters, Veronica and Victoria" Hermonie tells Smithers who smiles looking at them "It's a pleasure, Misses" he tells them as they look at each other smiling then back at him as they shook his hand "Hi" "Hello"
"I'll get the bags" Smithers tells them "Oh, and would you like some menus, ma'am? So, you can order in?" Smithers asked. "Oh, no. I have been craving one of Pop Tate's cheeseburgers since noon. Is his Chocklit Shoppe still open?" Hermonie asked. "What even is a Chock'lit Shoppe?" Victoria asked "And why does it sell burgers?" Veronica asked as the two girls have never heard of it.
