The Eumenides

Hello, I’m Dorothy. Dorothy Clayburn. You can call me Dolly. I’m a student in the College of Arts at Harrison State University. I’m plain-looking, outgoing, and not at all feminine. Oh, and I’m good at mechanical repairs. I’m the product of one of this idiotic author’s writing contests. The contest called for a murder mystery, so she created me. (That entry was Eumenides, and you can find the story in Volume One.) I thought that once the play was over, that would be the end. I was just a fleeting character in her story. But I never expected that the forum would hold a second writing contest, and that there would be a third, fourth, fifth, and so on... So I came to life and continued Dorothy’s story. Someone dies in every story, without a doubt, and I... I’m unlucky enough to find myself in the middle of it every time. I’m neither the murderer nor a police officer, let alone a detective. I love observing people, but I don’t love justice. The writing contest runs every fifteen days. I suppose that means someone near me is destined to die at least once every fifteen days. If you’re still interested, please read my story. Theme:
