《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》12 Sightless
Advertisement
It was a crisp morning, not a disturbance to be heard. Bluebirds sung outside the windows of Dawson Manor. The fog was back and was creeping along every inch of the mansion. The guests awoke.
One guest was watching the fog. Regina had always loved the mountains and was enjoying watching the cold morning dew and the white clouds blanketing the mountains. She had been sitting there when she was no longer alone. Tripp had wondered into the room.
"Good morning." He approached holding a cup of coffee. He seemed at peace despite the nature of their stay here. "I love the fog as well. It brings me comfort. I was born in Vermont so I am used to it." He sat down on the seat beside her. Regina smiled, she liked Tripp, although he could very well be the killer, she doubted it. "It's the only peaceful thing I've seen so far." He chuckled as she said this. They watched the fog together.
Grant woke up expecting himself to be murdered, in heaven. However, he was lying in his white velvety filled bed. Ruben was also lying down. He was not awake however.
Lana the maid, screamed. Bailey barreled down the hallway at full speed followed by Natalie and Caleb. They all ran towards the scream. As everyone approached the maid, they all turned their eyes to the sight before them. It was Ruben.
He was lying on his back at the bottom of the staircase. Motionless and still. His eyes were closed but it didn't even look like he had any eyes as his eyelids sunk in. Lizzie once again vomited into a nearby plant. The sight was grotesque and altogether eerie.
Giles rushed to the front of the group and saw the horror. "Good morning guests, unfortunately, the killer has struck. Ruben is dead. Everyone please go to the library and wait there." There was slow movement as they all exited, some looked back to study the body. Grant swallowed in relief, that could've been him.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
