Manuscript stolen from my apartment. Called police. Filed report. Two weeks later, detective showed up.
"We recovered your property."
"You found the thief?"
"We found your manuscript."
"Wonderful! Where was it?"
"In evidence. We all read it." He placed it on the table. "We're returning it."
"Any leads on the burglar?"
"Ma'am, we found nothing of value at the crime scene."
Book signing at local bookstore. Set up table. Arranged pens.
One person came.
Mom.
She bought two copies. "One for Mrs. Henderson next door!"
Sweet.
Week later. Package arrives.
Mrs. Henderson returned it.
With a note: "Didn't finish. Life's too short."
She's 94. She might be right.
