BlitzFiction: "The Continuing Adventures of Hawthorne Curve: The Case of the Emerald Espadrille," by Sam Smith (34 entries)

Example:

This dame burst into my office. Called herself "Lauren," like the movie star. *No, I call myself Lauren because my parents thought it was a pretty name.* [msg #1]

She was a looker, this one. And at the moment, she was looking for something called the "Emerald Espadrille." I'd never heard of it. [msg #2]

...

Truth was, unless 'espadrille' was a euphemism for something involving her mouth and Mr. Winky, I didn't much care. It'd been a hard week and I needed some R&R. [msg #4]

*Stop talking like that and help me find my shoe, you idiot.* I like dames with spirit, but this one was coming on pretty strong even for my taste. [msg #5]

...

My name is Curve. Hawthorne Curve. I'm a private dick. *I don't know about the 'private' part, but you're half right, anyway. Have you seen my espadrille?!* [msg #9]
