NEW IDEAS

Here you will find story ideas that I am toying with as well what is new with my writing right here. 

This is an idea for a new story.

 Introduction

 

The body lay between the two cars where it had fallen.  I knew it was dead the moment I had seen it. Despite the height from where it had taken its unexpected flight it was remarkable still intact. I looked straight up from where it would have come from and saw only blue sky. With nothing to stop its fall except the ground you would think that it would be jelly or at least unrecognizable as human body and a female one at that. It was really impossible that would it would land just between these two cars at this exact location at this moment in time but yet it was here. It had made an impression in the asphalt slightly larger than the body itself where it had smashed into it and then sprang back up. 

 

Her dress was a floral print pulled up to her waist enough to display that she was wearing garters and stockings but no panties. She wore no shoes and there was red nail polish on her toenails. The type of red that was bright, shining and had three coats of clear over coat to keep it that way. The stockings were just that, not nylons or pantyhose, but actual stockings with the seam down the back, black with a rose design that matched her dress. The missing panties may have been intentional or maybe not. The dress was of an evening variety rather than an everyday one which considering the time of day means she either had been out since yesterday or she dressed very earlier for tonight. Her fingernails were painted with the same color that she had on her toenails.

 

The body lay on her back slightly turned to give her the look of peaceful slumber.  The interesting expression on her face gave me a start as it was an expression of serenity rather than fear or terror.  There were no other marks on the body that could be seen without further investigation. That wasn't something I was prepared to do, at least not yet.

I picked up my cell and dial the local precinct or more specifically the detective at the desk. The cell when through its operation and connected me after a fashion. There was a pop as the line cleared the secure sequence and then, “Ferguson,” a gruff voice stated on the other in.

 

“We have problem,” I stated into the phone.

 

“What do you mean we white man,” Ferguson grumble over the line. “As I understand it you’re the private dick so I think any problem you have has nothing to do with this unit. You were the one who left u-”

 

I cut him off right there, “LISTEN UP YOU EXCUSE FOR DOOR STOP,” I shouted into the phone then realized there was a crowd starting to gather. “WE just had a body drop out of the sky and land next to my car. Last I knew this was still your jurisdiction, Right? Or should I call the Feds in on this ONE!” The last being more of a threat than a question know it would chaff his shaft.

 

“Don’t get your panties in a bunch. I’ll get CSI out there with some uniforms and a team to look things over. I’ve got you on GPS. Two units already on their way. Don’t TOUCH ANYTHING. I REPEAT DON”T TOUCH ANYTHING.”

 

“No problem in that,” I said and hung up my cell.

 

Within minutes the two units arrived and started moving the crowd back away from the scene. The lead officer came over to where I was standing. “You the one who found her,” he stated more the questioned as he looked down at the body. I nodded and looked down at the body.

 

“Any ID?”

 

“No need,” I stated. What even made it stranger than the fact was she had fallen exactly next to my car was that I knew who she was. That made it even worst somehow. She used to be my partner.
