a murder mystery...for his class...I knew he was looking for one...Deep's pretty picky...what an honor that you were picked...hmmm...I have never written a murder mystery either...I suppose someone must die...but if it's a non-fiction fairy tale then perhaps it could be a non-murder murder mystery about someone having a fantasy about offing someone...you can do it...it will be great!
