Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 01, 2018

A good murder mystery?

It’s all in the wrist to flip the pages…

It’s better to have no introduction. Just dive into the narrative.

That’s the index finger?

Maybe I’m wrong, but this FA seems to nibble on the edges of profoundness. A visual metaphor. My interpretation is that this person’s life is over before his story begins. And what ends hislife story? Someone wielding a gun. Maybe it was purchased legally. Maybe not. Maybe it’s an Edward Scissorhands kind of thing, a prosthesis that doubles as a gun. Maybe the shooter knew the guy. Maybe he didn’t. We don’t know the age, race, nationality or shoe size of this shooter or his victim, but I’m 99% certain that the shooter is male. Guns don’t kill people. Men kill people. Except for blue men. We just revel in being the same color as the M&M introduced in 1995.

The appendix has been removed

I don’t know what in the holy crap (Teresa’s words) I was spilling out on this page above. I blame it on the catnip I bought for my cats today. After they rolled in it a while, I rolled in it, too. My theory is that it makes susceptible humans type, type, type. I wonder if lions and tigers are affected by catnip. I also read somewhere that not all cats are affected by catnip’s hallucinogenic properties.

What of the binding of Bond, James Bond OO7, covering this murder?

Poke the Yoke or Pop the Chicken?

Teresa doesn’t like drawn-out prefaces.

Saves me from reading the ending first.

This is why it is best to have a behavioral set used in public that is acceptable to all. Private behaviors should never be revealed until it is too late for the other to back out.

No, 3Hour, I’m pretty sure that was MY novella Teresa found.

And here I thought it was going to say, Beginning, Middle, and End.

@sɪsʏᴘʜᴏs – Solve for X.

P.S. I use artificial intelligence, not fake math.

The individual in the cartoon is a pre face.

Ahh, it’s just a story problem.

Fallen safely to a soft cover paperback landing..

It’s a steady job, but he wants to be a paperback writer.

Pew! Pew!

Pulitzer!

“I’ve seen better parts on a Mr. Potato Head!”

—Frogney Dangerfield; Froglandia Book Review

‘The History And Social Influence Of The Potato’, written by Redcliffe Salaman is highly recommended..

Some books are more favored with Parts than others. For Example, many of the Victorian novels by Mr. Dickens that I consult are so loaded with hyper-scholarly introductory matter that I am exhausted and cease my reading session before getting anywhere near The Heart of the Matter (a.k.a. body matter). Luckily, this prevents strewing of dead content all over the carpeting: construe, don’t strew! This is what separates Literature from, say, cheap thrillers.

Put that in your lame library for future reference!

The circumstance was extraordinary, and the authorities without any leads. And so my friend, known about the precinct as The Poison Dart Frog, was brought in to consult on the case. Misty, not her real name, had a knack of seeing things that others might not, and usually not in a way that required a jacket with overly long sleeves.
