The Case That Wouldn't Die by Philip Hirzel (sagaem_kai_cornelli) - Comedy, Horror, Crime - James West is a failing and out-of-cash detective who can only seem to find a false sense of pride in his work. However, one dark (though not stormy) night he is visited by the beautiful Bambi Bellmonte. She tells James of her husband's recent murder, but the death is not the issue. She's seen her husband since his death, and she wants James to find out why he faked his death. James is sent down a long and twisting road full of lies, deceit, action, the dead, and the undead.  55 pages - doc, format 8)

I'm sorry, but the format of this makes it too difficult to read.  I can't tell where one scene ends and the next one begins.
Also, the line about the men in suits taking the rug that "held the room together" is lifted from The Big Lebowski.
