Random Word Drabble/A Jack and Charlie Story
Confronting Charlie
The last chapter — or not
Random Word Drabble #194: “Freak”: July 12th 2024— (minus twister)
I confronted Charlie. “I read the changes you added to the last chapter of your book!”
Charlie just shrugged, unconcerned.
“It freaks me out that you wrote I was the main suspect in the celebrity chef’s death. How would you have known that?”
“Police often make assumptions like that. Anyone that a victim had an altercation with becomes a suspect.”
“But why would you have added that afterwards — before the police even revealed they found some property of mine at the scene? It seems you know a lot more than you are telling.”
“Are you accusing me of something, Boy?”
