I really like what you've done with the year-long prompt! There's direction in there, there's a new character just entered, and there's lots of tension already between the elements we have. It's fantastic! Thank-you :)

For today, we pop back to a four-line poem as our revisiting characters.

The missing piece of the puzzle
The detectives were gathered in the evidence room, staring at the card that had been left on the chest of the latest victim of what appeared to be Sixticton's most prolific murderer. The words on the card read: Thank-you, Serial Killer. Don Markov, chief of police, sighed heavily and said at last, "Well guys, I'd say this is the missing piece of the puzzle. Trouble is, no-one don't know what puzzle this is either."

Greg - yay :)

Hah, oh dear. I'm not sure I have much faith in the crime solving abilities of Sixticton's chief of police :D
