Murder Most Foul
A washed-up athlete. An unwanted school reunion. A disappearance.
Can Eleanor figure it out before something worse happens?
I mean, the only highlight Johnny Roan had during his school years—other than scoring the winning touchdown in the big homecoming game senior year despite a fractured pinky—was that he managed not to fumble the famous lines from Hamlet’s father’s ghost. A huge accomplishment compared to when he played Julius Caesar and wound up decking the kid playing Brutus instead of letting himself be ‘murdered.’
Trivia
"Murder Most Foul" was written for the March 2022 DCW monthly contest where writers were tasked with using elements from a grid to create a short story. You can read it in its entirety here!
