Perpetual man- Dead Man’s Secret
Classic film noir sound bites contribute to the authentically gritty flavour of this homage to the detective radio serials. A ghost reflects upon how his life's work met an untimely end through connivance and foul play; leaving him to haunt his own past with his regrets...
AnyaKimlin - Detectives In the Closet
Dragnet meets The Birdcage in this tenderly forthright tale of a forbidden relationship played out in stolen moments in a hostile world. The ironic emphasis of the chemical labels adds dimension and layers meaning into the star crossed lovers conversation.
Remedy - Silky Secret
This tale of the wrench out of control of a very controlled individual and his skilled attempt at hiding the pieces of his misstep gives us a glimpse of how short can be a fall from grace. From enforcing law and fighting crime, the protagonist now walks in the shoes of those he had brought to justice, and exhumes a piece of his own humanity even as he destroys through his own actions the ideals he loves.
Writer Josh- An Ethereal Client
In this tale of justice sought from beyond the grave, a hard-boiled detective finds he has one more surprise left in him as he meets his first spectral client.

A beautiful widow contrives her own alibi in homage to the great beauties of the classic film mystery. Bacall, Stanwick, Davis and Kelly have all portrayed this lovely black widow whose tantalizing tale is so skillfully wrought.
Glen - Secret Identity
Glen is at his comedic best with this parody of a CSI episode gone wild... this sassy tale is of a serial killer with a sci fi bend as time travel is thrown into the mix, leaves a triple take as fingers are pointed in a finale with a full serving of wit to savor.
reiver33 - Dial M for Mobius
In a twilight zone-isque tale of time travel meets up with the classic Phillip Marlowe trope detective, a time slip spinning out of control spirals the two main characters in an endless loop. As the two protagonists never learn from their actions, in true Groundhog Day fashion they are doomed to repeat them.
Mith - Anything for Money
A Tale of Suspense indeed...this evocative portrayal of the Raymond Chandler mysteries emulates the flavour of those long ago radio days with its witty dialogue and quintessential details. This classic is brought back with a surprisingly sardonic twist.
martin 321 - Deadly Whispers
A detective investigates a murder victim he knows all too well. A crime of passion and a ghost’s chance of retribution lead to madness through this psychic setup in an ingenious delivery of C.S. PsI.
(well, not always. Often, maybe)
