Oh my we left things in quite a situation. How could we possibly imagine such a gruesome scenario even by some tea leaf divination. The Lotus Eaters Salon in room number eleven following clues as a team, up at the Duchess hotel where every floor is thirteen. A finger, some feet a dead waiter and now this? A locked wardrobe foreboding a singed sulfur bliss. Perhaps not look, perhaps leave it be, there’s no need to follow every clue of the lost finger mystery. Selene - A Narrated Supernatural Myst...
The Lotus Eaters were gathered in their café for dinner, and dinner was served. Not Oysters Rockefeller or Lobster Thermador or Beef Wellington. No Chicken Ala King, wouldn’t that be nice? Instead the surly waiter served them two chopped human feet, sitting in a large block of ice.

I was pacing in the mud at Black Pond, Fitz and I had just barely escaped the killer from Pedigree's new candy factory. Brittleteeth had pulled the bones of Owen McCleary from the pond depths and now was keeping his skull in the office. What did Brittleteeth need with the bones of an inventor?

Trapped in my own bones in Mister Pedigree’s candy factory, staring at a black skull. The name Owen McCleary repeating in my head and someone’s coming through that door.

The killer left a pile of candy wrappers and a handbill to a new candy factory on the river. A big flashy showcase for all the girls and boys. Last thing this city needs is more sugar, more distraction. The Stix are about to revolt and the division is going to tear this city in half.

Teddy Duncan stood in the Duncan’s Union headquarters overlooking the sunken district of The Stix, the working class neighborhood under the Lethe river. A grey late morning with a clear view out his window to the rail lines and steam cranes on the docks. Seagulls circling, the boat nets hauled with giant hooks, hoists pulling crates onto train car platforms roped down for the journey to the warehouses. Foreman shouting to crews echoed over the rooftops with leaky water towers and the odd pigeon ...
In the city of Selene, as you walk the streets, if you ever see a penny in a crack in the sidewalk, walk on by without giving it a second look. Everyone knows this - why you may ask, well this this is due to the well known stuck penny curse and the sad story of a woman named Nora.

Can you see out in those streets, do you see those piles? That’s The Stix rejecting all their new baubles, the rubber tires and electric stoves, cast off vanities. We’ve built walls from that discard – blocked the bridges so that no more motorcars or no powerlines or no more Minerva’s Starlings go riding down here. We do no need it!

Unfortunately, it was not a great time on the streets of Selene, there had been several high-profile murders throughout the city. The killer had left letters with the bodies that somehow made it to the Lantern Paper and were published. The killer, calling themselves The Rattletrap, claimed to be from the Stix and was moving uptown to kill the wealthy while taunting them.

Sesserin was tall and sinewy with defined muscles from his intensive fencing workouts. He maintained them in his late middle age – believed in a vigorous daily routine, built a gymnasium into a floor at Halite, and had a long steam before sliding into one of his tailored suits.

The three Duncan brothers - Teddy, Remy, and Lenny found themselves in an empty room with a dirt floor, under the main stairs just below street level. Their parents had left in the night, while the boys slept on a small, worn rug. The three of them under the age of six, huddled on a crate together in the damp cold. They had rumbling bellies and no shoes, but an empty room that was paid through the end of the month. Selene - A Narrated Supernatural Mystery Featuring compositions by Chopin Theme S...
Across the Stye stone bridge, a crumbling bridge as old as anyone can remember, the last gaslight lamp marking the end of the city, two gents push a rickety wooden cart through the green fog for some nefarious business.

The Voldat sisters Viola and Vivienne (Ve Ve for short) grew up wealthy in the folds of the affluent but oft-troubled Voldat family. Young Vivienne was sent away to the asylum Ludlow, and due to her defiant nature, Vivienne was given aggressive treatments. Viola, in contrast, grew up in luxury and society and married Leopold walker and he built for her the purple house of park row, Lavendula, but the Voldat curse caught up with her as well...

From the other Curio reports, it sounds as if the sleepwalker activity has reduced in the city. I don't know why it started in the first place. I don't know why it has subsided, but my hunch is going forward that they will come in and flow out like a tide whenever whoever is controlling them needs to advance their plans.

Millie Minerva had taken over the duties of brewing the crabapple cider from her fasting sister Mercy, the shame eater. It was sweet with a sharp tang that woke up the tongue and provided a lovely light buzz like a spring breeze. Millie’s wasn’t as quite as good as Mercy’s used to be, but only the family could tell and they couldn’t keep the bottles stocked fast enough.

Mercy Minvera, a fasting girl, had quickly been monikered The Shame Eater for her ability to pull the shame from people and provide relief with her touch. The Minerva sisters - enterprising young girls, started selling cider, and homemade soaps to those standing in line waiting for a visit with Mercy. Any guilt about exploiting their sister's ability slowly washed away with the dreams of buying the neighboring plots of land and re-establishing the Minerva family crabapple orchards.
