Morris Pigeon thought it was a evening like any other, but that impression was about to come to a swift end. Walking down the wet pavement he spied a seemingly disinterested woman dragging along a huddled mass that looked more like a grocery store spill than human. He attempted to look the other way.
“You!” a voice croaked.
Morris’ eyes darted to the source of the entreaty: A festering boil of man who half-clung to the arm of the now exasperated woman.
“I’ve seen you in a vision,” the mass implored, a blotchy hand outstretched. “Can you tell me your name?”
Moira pulled at the Cystic Detective. “This is exactly why I found you passed out in a boiler room. Do you think this is effective investigation?”
Morris Pigeon scampered away, though knew this encounter would leave a stain—a blot on his mind that remained as though a burn hole in old paper.
Cystic Detective Updates are special reports for paid subscribers, documenting research efforts, personal thoughts on recent news, or other, loose tidbits and recommendations. It is a small offering for those who support the longer, denser, free articles and the ongoing book project. For access to this and future updates, as well as the the fourteen past, other archived articles, and special podcast episodes, you can take advantage of a running offer: 25% off for life with the iconic “Reads to the End” discount.
