TMW you are writing a spin-off of your General Mystery (involving Kevin McKinley) starring a ten-year-old boy who gets himself into a mystery of his own, and Chapter Two opens up with him drafting a brief email to one of the major (female) characters from the General Mystery (both that and this story takes place in the same town, at the same time) and suddenly, you find that you wrote this:
Heridon typed that email into his email’s address bar, and suddenly the mouse cursor turned into a spinning circle. A second later, a small picture appeared above the name with some basic contact information:
Kimberly Lars Miggs
Student at Univeristy of Port Lisha
Lover of exotic, oddball things
He didn’t pay too much attention to that, instead he was focused on the image. It was same person he and his brother had met in the McWeegie’s a week prior, only she was now at a beach somewhere, flanked by her two friends all huddled together for a group photo. Is this porn? Heridon asked himself, gawping at Kim’s half-naked form, as all she wore was a bikini. The guys, he didn’t notice, though he did see that Kevin had a large tattoo across his chest, the word ‘VICTORY’ in sharp, bolded ink with white outlines. His eyes went back to Kim.
She had something metal near her belly button. He squinted, brought his face closer to the screen. It was some type of ring. Why would you do that? He wondered. I thought you only did the ears.
A car honk from outside snapped him from his daze.
Hmm...
EDIT: To be clear, the reason he's trying to email Kim, a college-aged student, is because #1- he found a copy of her email lying on the table at the bar, and #2- he thinks they can help his family with a threatening letter they got claiming they're out to kill his adopted little brother.
