Missing: Prelude To A Murder Conviction
The flutter of a thousand wings...
A Writers of the Future Contest Honorable Mention (as "Prelude To A Murder Conviction").
South Carolina Trooper Kenny Saunders can’t wrap his head around yet another disappearance in small town Baxter, South Carolina. Obsessing over the locations of the disappearances, he goes back to them again and again.
Drawn by the pooling of rainwater and the unusual eucalyptus that has sprung up where the women vanished, fireflies are massing, flashing their unfathomable messages in the dark.
But there's something horribly familiar about these fireflies. Kenny knows in the depths of his aching heart that his wife is in mortal danger and there are fates worse than death.
Can he save her?

I love good short stories, and Elle Andrews Pratt doesn't disappoint with this one. This is a great page-turning, psychological suspense story, and I can't say more without spoiling it. You just have to read it.

GREAT!
This was creepy and sooo good! Kenny is a cop. He’s working on a case of a missing girl. What’s happening with Kenny? Seems like his obsession with the fireflies may be casing him to lose time. I can’t wait to read what comes after this!
