Movie Madness on My Mind
April 14, 2012

Molly with the letter MIt’s Short Story Saturday, and since the letter is M that means the genre is Mystery for a story stuffed full of M words.  But first off, I have to apologize for this weak effort.  I thought about just posting a giant “M.I.A” for today’s post along with the picture of Molly and her M.  You see, today is the sneak peek screening of my new movie (extra points for my distraction being an M word?), and I’ve been in high anxiety mode preparing for it.  And since my ol’ friend procrastination was firmly in control during March, I didn’t get any posts written ahead of time.  However, I decided I could muster up a micro-mystery instead of completely missing the boat, so here it is in all its “glory.”

A Mangled Mystery

Mary Madison met a magnetic man at the museum.  He was charming, moneyed, smart, and had the most melodic voice.  They fell madly in love and were married within the month.
 
Then Mary went missing.
 
Had he moved her to a marvelous mansion in the Mediterranean?  Or was it murder most foul?
 
Therein lies the mystery. 
 
Yeah, I’m more than a little embarrassed  I posted that, but I didn’t want to skip a day.  I hope to be back on track on Monday.  Wish me luck with the movie screening!
 
So what happened to poor Mary?  Was this the most pathetic attempt at a mystery you've ever read?  How Magnificent is Molly with her letter M?
