This short story won 3rd place at the 2016 UW-Whitewater Creative Writing Festival in the Tales of Terror and Mystery category. Dad had been missing for weeks. The police admitted they were reluctant to go after him, even if he was one of their own. Everyone knew the case he’d been working on, even my little brother and me, who’d heard him discussing it at the dinner table on numerous occasions. The string of missing persons connected with the abandoned meat-packing district on the edge of town had left even the best detectives scratching their heads.

This short story won 2nd place at the 2015 UW-Whitewater Creative Writing Festival in the Tales of Terror and Mystery category. Sadie and Ava stood on the sidewalk outside the old house. They each took long, hard looks at it, and finally Ava spoke up.
“It looks haunted,” she told her friend. |
