I’m sorry, but I couldn’t wait for ten more ficlets to write a challenge (they are, traditionally, made in increments of 50.) I thought, “What the hay, 340 ficlets deserves a challenge, too! Am I right?” Of course I’m right! Cripes, they’re more of a guideline, really!

So, the challenge? Well, you asked for it. Mystery! Yes, a mystery! And not just any mystery, a 1920-40s mystery. You know, “cat’s pajamas”, “gumshoes”, and all that jazz. Oh, please, don’t pout, it’s not very becoming.

Ready? Set? GO!
