“There is a simple art to murder. The key to getting away with murder is to remain cool-headed and detached. Remove or damage the evidence. Lock in a good alibi. Confuse the motive with doubt," Alexei said. Greylock by Paula Cappa”
―

“Hands smothered Alexei's face. Spider fingers, furry and boney, like a paw. He tasted the sharp tang of blood. A dirty odor stung his nose. "Where am I?"
"The past is not dust," echoed a voice like a B-flat note.
"I cannot see!" Alexei mumbled.
"You see everything. Even yourself. No mirror serves me."
"Who are you?"
"I am orange in the sky. Green in the pines. Autumn rivulets. I am the conjured."
"Where the hell am I. Get off!"
"You, Alexei Viktor Georghovlovna, are where you desire to be. Inside my music."

“Just as our mothers, fathers, and grandparents live inside of us, so do generations upon generations of mothers and fathers before them. Part of our task is to discover how all our ancestors continue to inform our lives, and the same holds true for all forms of life. For we have been shaped not only by our human ancestors but also by the environment in which they lived...”

You said it! I love Mary Elizabeth Braddon. She has that old world flavor in her writing.

Thank you, Cindy. I so appreciate your comment and support. You are a good contributor! Did you drop out of the group? Yes, some of it sounded so unfriendly, and I guess typical of the arrogent reputation that Goodreads has lately. Some threads are cliques and don't welcome outsiders or new opinions. I post in Literary Darkness Group and they are a highly intelligent group, unafraid of a new voice, and are not threatened by bloggers or authors. Supernatural Fiction Readers too is a good one, very open to share with one another.

I think anyone can join. It's the weekend and maybe response time is slow but you'll likely get the green light on your membership soon.

Cindy, I post in other GR groups: Literary Darkness Group in the "Classic" thread under Classic Dark Stories. And in Supernatural Fiction Readers Group under "Group Members Who Write" thread:"Blog, Reading Fiction, Tales of Terror. You can participate in discussions in these groups. Their focus is dark fiction though. There is a group "Short Story Connect" that is fairly active and I post there sometimes.

Thanks, Cindy. It's not just us, though. No one can post or comment on that thread now. I'll post each week's short story in a separate link in the short story salon, but I'll have to keep the stories to their time frame. Oh well.
