You sift through old files from past cases and stubble upon an unopened box. The wooden box looks beaten and old with main chips and splitters. Opening the box reveals old childhood memorabilia that you must have forgotten about. Taking a trip through memory lane, you see old pictures with you as a squab and…

You come across a red Northern cardinal. For such a small fellow, he is quite adequately dressed, a red glittery tophat that lays upon his delicate feathers. A small black bow tie is wrapped around his neck as he hops around joyfully talking to other guests at the party. “ Hey! Haven’t seen you around…

You find yourself situated in front of the very flamboyant flamingo. You can’t help but eye her from head to toe as she dons a luxurious black dress that accentuates her bright pink feathers. She says her name is Blanche. With one whiff of her strong but addictive perfume, you almost forget that there is…

I pity these children who have no choice but to live in this uninhabitable abode, and are forced to turn to a life of crime. I rummage through my pockets, seeing if there’s anything at all I can offer these unfortunate souls. I find a pitiful few coins in my pocket and hand them to…
