• This One's For You
  by bchrisdesigns

  “It’s confirmed. The call came from the widow’s house.” Hawkman said.

  I wrote this piece with Barry Manilow’s song This One’s For You in mind. I even decided to challenge YOU the reader to find the other five lines from Barry’s song that I have hidden within the text of my story. Have fun and enjoy! NOTE: The character “Barry” is NOT supposed to be Barry Manilow. It is simply an homage. So, please do not get mad thinking that I killed Barry Manilow. Cheers! / CREATION INFORMATION Medium: Writing – Short Fiction, Suspense/Mystery, Tools: Microsoft Word, My Brain/Imagination Topic: Crime, Whodunnit / CONTEST & CHALLENGE HISTORY 05/13/08 – Entry to Twisted Tales’ Twisted Karaoke competition
