Done Already?
I finished my story and that was one heck of an ending. In what may not seem like, but really is short, The entire case was being looked at in the wrong way until the last five pages of the story. Every single person except two had lied in the story involving what had happened. One witness didn't even see anything, they had been paid by someone who wasn't even under suspicion in order to confuse the protagonist Perry Mason. The original person who was thought to have been killed had already been dead for two years and the same person who paid off the "witness" stole their I.D. due to the fact that they had a similar description in order to have a abck-up name in case of emergency or incase he didn't want to be recognized. It is all still somewhat confusing to me, I'll have to re-read the last 10 pages again later.

New book
It has been a while. For my mystery story I chose a Perry Mason novel called the Case of the Lucky Loser. Unfortunately, the book is a collection of seven novels, so everyone thinks that I'm planning on reading the entire book and since its not a book that all the other students are reading, they ask why I'm reading such a large book for fun. In fact, two kids who I had never even met in my entire life came up to me as I was at Dick's Sporting Goods and asked why I was reading. Very weird. Anyway, when I first started reading the book I thought that Perry Mason was a detective, but it turns out that he is a lawyer. Because of this the book has lots of interesting legal courtroom battles. The best parts so far, and I'm over halfway through, are when he interviews different people and has gotten three different explanations for the crime. I can't wait for the wrap up at the end of the story.
