For want of a 3 dollar part
the water flowed too fast
It no longer gurgled
or washed gently over the hands
It was filled with violence
Splashing out of the sink
Soaking everything on the counter
Running onto the floor.

It was only two days ago
Yet the joy still fills me.
We were immersed in study
I the teacher
They the students
Eager to learn
And they were eager.

The weather turned last night. It had been in the 70s for a week. This morning, it barely made freezing. By 10 it was snowing. Oh, it wasn’t hard like the blizzard two weeks ago, but it was steady. It is a wet cold, seeping into the bones and joints, everything aches. By noon, it was positively chilling. Then the teapot began to whistle. “hot water” it said. Into the mug went the water, over the teabag. It was hard to wait. After six minutes I hold the steaming mug, too hot to drink, but wonderful still. The aroma is full and a little sweet, smelling like Christmas. It is peppermint. Soon I sip. The warmth fills my mouth, the scent my nose. With the first swallow, the warmth spreads down my throat and out through my chest. The aches diminish, the chill abates at least for a while.

Appalled, heart-broken, shocked
Angry, lost, unsure
Does any of it matter?
The president and others incited a riot
More, it was insurrection!

I have decided to write a mystery story. But, I have never written one. How does one start? Granted, many of my stories have been tales of people solving problems, some might say they are mysteries. But, they aren’t really. The mystery is not the focus. Instead, it is part of the setting. Being a treasure hunter is solving a mystery. But, the focus is on the adventure, not finding and decoding clues.
