Crippled Detectives, or The War of the Red Romer

[phosfate]

Suddenly the radio started up: “FBI report FBI report, the crash of airline’s 15th plane, airplane 15, Hand in Hand, was caused by somebody, I repeat, somebody, villain or not quite as bad as villain, the crash was caused by humans.” “Sylvia!” cried Lee, “write in script now, here’s paper and a pen. Now I’ll tell you what to write.” It said:

Dummy, did you cause the airplane crash? Answer or else we’ll use the mirror on you. Answer!

Signed,
Anne, Lee, Sylvia,
and Lisette

They put the note on the doorstep of the Red Romer’s den.

That's one of the most brilliant things I've ever read.

You've gotta get you some Daisy Ashford, if you haven't already.

Totally love Daisy Ashford! Haven't read her in ages though.

I never heard of her before this year. Now I want to marry her.

Wow! It's kind of like A Series of Unfortunate Events, but written from the point of view of the bitey baby.
