5 DAY Andre the Blog Monkey's April Fools Mystery Writing Challenge Blog Prompt for Day 1 - When mystery surrounds an object, that object then becomes a clue. Have you ever discovered a mysterious item, which became a clue to an investigation? Tell us about what you found and where the investigation led to. This happened in 2012, a few months before my mother died. She was sitting on the couch in the living room and began to cry. I ask her what was bothering her, and she said her grandfather had run away with a young woman. I couldn't get any more information out of her. I suspect she was referring to the only grandfather she remembered. Mom always said he had a long white beard. I would like to know more about this, but everyone who knew anything about it is long dead. Another mystery I would like solved is the reason for my Uncle Roy Newland's (I think it was Uncle Roy) divorce. The marriage lasted long enough to produce a child, who was adopted by one of his sisters. I know my great uncle never married again. I don't know what happened to his wife, or why they gave the daughter to his sister to raise. My parents and grandparents were raised at a time when family scandals were spoken of in whispers, and not around young children or even the following generation of adults. |
