A murder at 916 South Fifth Avenue*
I sometime wish I had kept a running list of all the parties I have attended across the Southwest. Keg parties, heavy drug parties, bring your firearms and shoot up the back pasture parties. Time and poor choices have erased many memories. Some, however, never go away. Most of the time everyone had a blast and went home safe. But not every time.
Sometimes you just shut up and wait years before mentioning it again.
*The body may still be there in the maintenance closet, drying to a mummy in the desert air but I think it was removed the same night as the party and placed in a ditch next to I-10.
Relax. It's all fiction. Really. I would never go to a heavy drug party.
