Playing A Dangerous Game
"That's not something you mess around with." I say to her and she just rolled her eyes. "It's not like he's going to fall for it anyway." She looked at her baby pink nails. "Then why do you-" "Because," She snapped looking away from her nails to me. "He needs to know how it feels to fall in love and then have your heart ripped out of your chest and just feel like you're dying inside." She clenched her fingers into a fist. "Plus you don't believe in love anyway so it should be a piece of cake to keep your end unattached." "Yeah whatever." Monica Roth wasn't exactly the new girl but she wasn't exactly popular either. Her best friend Destiny Hamilton was a cheerleader but wasn't exactly in on the it crowd. They both seemed to keep to each other until one day the head cheerleader Madison Valentine comes up to Monica asking her a favor. A favor to play a game with the school's newest hottie. Derek Reid.

So when she gets asked to play the game of love with Derek she literally can't say no.Complete
West Town
This is a story containing the origin of an ambitious concept I have since continued. It's so simple I can explain it in one sentence. "A private detective working with a vigilante in Post-War Chicago try to solve crimes while evading a suspicious Police Captain." It doesn't shy away from the racism that is necessary, nor does it dive headlong into that to the fullest extent. This is a story about cops, crooks, and private investigators. It's not a political statement. There is no reflection on today's politics to be found, or to be made in any past or future installments of this. There are people who commit what we would consider mass shootings today in broad daylight, there are incidents of sexual harassment and casual racism because the year is 1948 when the story begins. I did not write this to offend or support anybody real or living past or present. So without further warding, this is the story of a private detective and a veteran of both world wars who are brought together to face a tragedy and unravel a larger world of violence and crooks in their own ways in 1948 Chicago.Complete
