Crime Drama

[David Morris]

It's all whoo dun it. Fictional scenarios are the method for "solving" the
crime.  Fiction (plausible stories) plus evidence.  And what if evidence is
false?

Crime dramas are usually told from discovered body to the much earlier
jealous slight.  Criminal Detectives have to be able to weave stories, and
often parallel other stories. And they have to suspect evidence often, for
various excuses.

But Crime Dramas are temporally retrograde.  And the paths backward fork as
much as the paths forward.  Roots versus Branches. Parallel, or mirrored,
or fractured and scattered.  Time ripples in all directions.

Great story tellers are usually puzzle makers, requiring strategic readers.
 Sometimes the puzzles enslave the stories. Reverse stories will always be
with us.
