Acceleration
by Graham McNamee
If you
found someone’s diary on the school bus, would you read it, or would you turn
it in to the school’s lost and found unopened? [Wait for response:] What if you
worked at the school’s lost in found? And nobody was ever looking…
Duncan had
a summer job with the Toronto Subway. He worked in the always-cold “Lost and
Found” deep underground the city. It was pretty boring. Pretty much
unsupervised, so… Duncan read the diary. It was pretty sicko. Some guy writing
about his fantasies about stalking girls. Hurting them. He seemed obsessed with
this one pretty girl who rode the Toronto subway.
Slowly
Duncan realized that this sicko wasn’t just fantasizing. He was going to kill the
girl… and the last diary entry was only a couple weeks old! How far would you
go to stop a serial killer?
