Chillun Got Shoes

By Daniel R. Robichaud

Special investigator Aelsinth has helped the Washington DC police on several strange cases. Whether the rumors of his psychic abilities are true or he is merely good at thinking like a perpetrator, Aelsinth gets results. When given the chance to listen to a mysterious recording about what's "really" going on in the city's Metro, he is not prepared for the bizarre conclusion. Is the recording some kind of hoax or a glimpse into the world outside most people's perceptions? It is a question that will drive Aelsinth to probe the darker corners of our capital's mass transit system and his own mental limits . . .
