In my detective/mystery fiction class, we were required to write a mystery story with some criteria, but everything else was 'up to the imagination'. Well I think I have taken mine a step too far. It is out of control. Here, read the 'editor's note' I threw in:
Editor’s Note:
The following story never happened. Should never happen. WILL never happen. It exceeds beyond all that is realistic and sane. Like a nightmare that just won’t end. It’s weird. It’s crazy. It’s perverted. It’s disturbing. It’s offensive. It’s definitely not funny. And ultimately, it doesn’t make much sense. By the time you have completed the story, you will wish you could have gained back all the lost time. And a lot of time that is. Because not only is this story perhaps the worst mystery ever conceived, it’s long. Much longer than it should be. And this editor’s note isn’t helping that, I know. So readers beware, for after your eyes have completed screening across the pages, you may never read another book again. I wish the best of luck to you all.
Because now it begins, with the god-awful title:
Derrick Davis Presents
The Egg Thief
And then the story begins, with one random event after the next, with dialogue so wierd, with so many forced jokes, it may make you sick. Its a shame that most of you reading this will not be around when I read the story to the class (using an array of accents), but I have taken the liberty of uploading it online here:

Post comments here about what you thought of it! Remember, this is not meant to be taken seriously even as a piece of work. Its meant to be fun. Enjoy it. :)
