(literal) COLD case

while keira was in florida for the weekend, no doubt lounging at the beach and hanging out with her soccer star boyfriend, the rest of the o-house was huddled around their space heaters. the Kansas weather was being very typical this weekend, meaning that the temperature plummeted without warning. the o-house was a very uncomfortable 62 degrees, and had reached the point where people could no longer hang out here without electric blankets and extra socks. usually at this point, the o-house girls (sans sydney) hold a secret meeting and plot how to turn on the heat without her noticing. but this time i went completely against my usually passive/compliant personality and turned it on without consulting anyone else.

syd: i’m sorry. but not really.

other roommates: you’re welcome.

everyone else: come on over to the o-house. the threat of hypothermia has been eliminated. and while you’re here, help us solve our latest mystery:

the second unsolved case of the year is not one of romance, gifts, or grandmas. no, this time our mystery is a vicious hate crime. on Friday night, October 30 at approximately 9:30 p.m., abby trammel, o-house attic resident, left manhattan for the weekend. upon returning Sunday evening, she found this: (viewer discretion advised)

the perpetrator of this seemingly perfect crime made one grave mistake. amongst the shreddings there was an only partially shredded paper that said MANHATTAN CHRISTIAN COLLEGE all over it. this leads us to believe:

a. it was an mcc student.

b. it was an mcc staff member… most likely larry sullivan.

c. it was someone who is not an mcc student or staff member, but who had the capabilities to devise an elaborate plan to throw us off track, as well as access to the mcc dumpsters.

we’re putting our money on choice a. but since abby knows very few people from mcc, and even fewer who would have a motive to do such a detestable act, we are without suspects.

any information leading to an arrest will be rewarded with some sort of food prepared by ms. trammel herself. hope you like bagel bites.
