Now Inspector Bluusea,world famous investigator for the
A. Christie Agency had been on the case of the
Missing Magicians for about a year now and all the clues
were saying that the young magician was somehow involved in their vanishings.
After all the young magicians business card had always turned up in the left behind clothing,wallets purses and desk drawers of the missing magicians.
So Bluuseau had been tailing the young magician for some time
hoping the killer young magician would lead him to the bodies of his victims.
So when the suspect pulled up beside a abandoned medieval theme park that had closed 33 years earlier the Inspector was
excited,sure the bodies lay interred under a rotting hotdog stand or
something.
The young man was clueless of all that of course
but he was well aware that his fellow magicians had gone missing.
Normally he wouldn't have taken the gig but
the contactee hadn't used a phone or even the internet to make the approach but
had sent a telegram-telegraph card,yellowed and obviously genuinely old
as well as a bag of Spanish pieces of eight coins and the all important key.
The young magician had done his research but all the
Charles Fort's Mysteries of the Unknown Places could tell him
was that it was a typical 1950s Kiddie Land Park
popular all over the country back then,with
statues of dragons,knights,maidens.
So out the car got the young magician and he switched on his LED flashlight to read the instructions
on the yellowing ancient
telegram-telegrah crd
and counted his paces and there it was
a closed wooden door to what looked like a small
Gingerbread cottage,
Sneaking through the bushes behind him Inspector Bluusea flipped on his
Distress Thing to call
for backup.
Clearly this Gingerbread Cottage was where the bodies were.
