Part 9: Crisis

Part 9: Crisis

A Chapter by Daniel Gardner
"

Just another part

"















He called me again today
He said his heart has not been led astray
I fear I am nowhere closer to cracking this case
All I have been doing is giving chase
He taunts me by telling me it is a waste
And how much he loves that butter pecan taste
I try to keep him talking
So I tell him that ice cream tastes like paste
I hear a womanly shrill from his voice
Followed by cursing as he describes its heavenly taste
"This is good," I think,
"Just keep talking
While we finish the trace."
"We've got him!" a patrolman yells
I slam the phone down
Grab my coat as sirens begin to wail
"Where is that son of a..."
The anger melts from my face
Like butter pecan ice cream on a hot summer's day
"Oh god!"

You create a very interesting situation and story. I like the set-up and the surprise ending. A outstanding chapter. Food always make the story seem real.
