Blog #1 - The day started with...


The day started with Jackie's typical Saturday morning breakfast, which consisted of a cup of black coffee and a slightly over-toasted everything bagel with an excessive amount of creme cheese attempting to cure her aching head of one too many drinks the night before. Friday nights were the only time Jackie could blow off steam and have a little fun -or a lot of fun-  even though she had hundreds of paper to grade throughout the weekend since she is the only freshman biology teacher at the local high school.

As Jackie was eating her breakfast, she picked up the daily newspaper off her doormat that began mysteriously arriving every morning for the past couple of months. She believes it is from a guy who lives in the apartment a couple of floors up but has not caught him in the act; she still needs to do more detective work and does not have the courage to ask him.

The newspaper never had anything too exciting, Jackie mostly reads it to look for a new, cheap listing of apartments considering she hates living in the Foxberry. But, she has had no success.  She unfolds the newspaper, and reads the headline, "Mr. Evans found dead in parking spot 303."

The newspaper fell to the floor. Jackie was devastated.
