Chapter 14: Heavenly Hash

The Heavenly Hash Smoke Shop was everything promised by the crumpled receipt printed with cheap smeary ink. He had driven across town and parked in the rundown shopping center. The curling faded Bob Marley posters taped in the dusty storefront window contributed to the overall neglected appearance of the smoke shop. Pulling open the front door got him blasted in […]

The body of Margaret Jensen was removed from the offices of Excel Technology by the coroner. Her coworkers said she had been unsteady on her feet, slurring her words and acting confused all morning. They assumed that she was intoxicated. Margaret had never been drunk at work before, but she had always acted a little "off"; always telling them that she was a practicing witch. She even wore a pentagram on a chain around her neck. There had been a mark around the back of her neck, which indicated it was ripped from her neck. Strangely, there remained a dark pink imprint on her upper chest, where the pentagram usually rested. It was missing. Forensic Investigator Bradley Thomas stood surveying Margaret's desk. There was a tumbler of sickly sweet smelling fruit smoothie, the half eaten remains of a slice of cake from the office party and a mug with the dregs from the office coffee pot. Among various files and forms in her desk drawers was a pack of what smelled like clove cigarettes and a half empty bottle of aspirin. How should Bradley proceed? What evidence should he collect? Why? Should anything be sent to the lab for analysis? Does this appear to be a case of death by magic or murder? #murder #mystery #puzzle #occult #whodunnit #sleuth #armchairdetective #slueth Occult detectives investigate occult crimes, using their powers of extrasensory perception and otherwordly knowledge to pierce the veil between this world and the underworld.
