I'm taking a break....

Whatsup?

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about branching out and exploring topics other than mental health. While I believe mental health is incredibly important and everyone should understand it, I’ve realized that I also enjoy speaking out about it. However, I’m also eager to test my writing skills in new ways. So, for the next two or three posts, I’ll be continuing the story I’ve started here. If anyone reading this has suggestions for short story ideas or anything else I should write, I’m definitely open to recommendations. For now, I’m taking a pause from mental health-related topics—both positive and negative—and shifting my focus to pouring my soul into short stories and fun, creative passages.

Alright, let’s dive in!

Sweat rolled down Detective Evans' collar. The rain outside rhythmically tapped on the windows of his cramped office, an ever-present reminder of the long hours spent in the shadows of unsolved mysteries. Piles of cases—glimpses into past lives—were scattered across his desk, but only one seemed to haunt him. The cacophony of cars outside filled the street during rush hour. His black hair, drenched from the humidity, clung to his forehead. With a swift motion, he flicked it back, trying to focus.

World-famous. That was what they called him. The detective who could solve any case that came his way. Except for one.

The case of Sahara Hines.

Five years ago, on December 15th, 2016, 16-year-old Sahara Hines had been kidnapped and vanished without a trace. Her parents, desperate for answers, searched high and low, eventually turning to Detective Evans for help. Despite his success in countless high-profile cases, this was the one that continued to chase him—a mystery that clung to his mind, refusing to let go.

This case was deemed closed, as most kidnappings are—there’s only so much that can be uncovered. At least, that’s what everyone believed. Until five weeks ago, new evidence resurfaced.

Okay so should I continue this story or should I start another. If you have any ideas that I should add on to this let me know or if you have something you I could write about feel free to tell me. 

Trying something new,
