The Plaid Memorandum by Bert Paul

Long-time residents of T-Ville, Mrs. Plaid and Old Mr. P, are dismayed to see that their obituaries are published prematurely (and with little regard for facts) in the local newspaper. They decide to “lay low,” though, in case someone is trying to do them in.

Before heading out of town, Mrs. Plaid handwrites a memo to her office staff, which accidentally gets transmitted all over the world. Due to her atrocious handwriting, everyone interprets the memo differently, causing problems.

Meanwhile, a devious person (or group) makes replicas of the famous Large Hadron Collider and conducts their own “Big Bang” experiments in the U.S., but without safety precautions, causing random black holes to appear and disappear, along with the hapless people who get sucked into them. One such hapless person is the only person, other than Mrs. Plaid, who can read Mrs. Plaid’s handwriting and might be able to clear some things up.

Old Mr. P and Mrs. Plaid are tried together for each other’s murder in a combined trial that has everyone confused.

A hilarious novelette from the author of Out of Order Murder Mystery.

About Author Bert Paul:

I grew up in and around Titusville, PA. I graduated Titusville High School as valedictorian in 1977. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA, 1981, with a double major in math and computer science. Worked for a large computer company for 24 years as software developer, software tester, and information developer (technical writer). I was laid off and am now working as a technical writer for another company.

I like to claim that my short stories are the result of exposing my brain for too long to corporate America. I started writing the stories for my sister’s kids when they were little so they’d have something different from Uncle Bert. Then I decided to start writing again after a long hiatus (due to hectic work schedule and other issues). A former co-worker suggested I see if I could get any of them published.

I have lived in Raleigh, NC since 1983, when the company I worked for transferred me here. I visit my home town occasionally, but consider Raleigh “home” now. I hate cold weather, snow, and ice.

I spend my spare time reading, writing, watching old movies, hunting for my reading glasses or car keys, and taking the occasional out-of-town trip for fun. I am blessed with some good friends, but never met my “Mr. Right”. (Had some fun with some of the Mr. Wrongs, though.) I have lived in the same house for 26 years (all paid for now!) and own too many cars. (Love the ’77 Monte Carlo….looks like new.)
