Dirk Malone, PI: The Ice Princess

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In” –
#313, exactly 61 words using these six prompt
words: ‘baby’, ‘ice-skating’, ‘album’, ‘salad’,
‘fright’, and ‘camera’. Here’s my 61-word flash.

The baby wailed in the nurse’s arms while I examined the crime scene….photo album open to ice-skating starlet’s photos and newspaper clippings from ’39. The dame’s salad days were over. Someone had given her a real fright before pulling the trigger. I raised my camera, capturing evidence. In this city, innocence dies young. But Dirk Malone, PI, always finds the truth.

  3. Sonja Henie won more Olympic and World titles than any other female skater. Her innovative and graceful style, which incorporated dance and athleticism, revolutionized the sport, and she later became a successful Hollywood film star.
