murder she texted.

the scene of the crime...

most of the following information was obtained via text message:
mid march, lindsay returned to her island paradise that is maewo after her in-service training. she collected a number of items to bring back with her to make her stay on said island paradise more pleasant. 
one of these things was: rat poison. the kind of rat poison that really lurrrrres the rat into your home, having them return time and again to the poison that tastes so delicious but is slowly destroying their intestinal track and KILLING them.
lindsay set out the poison, but made one grave error in the process: she set it out as a preventative measure. 
she didn't actually have any rats.
and this rat poison, with its luuuurrrrring quality, brought in plenty of rats. 
cut to a week of a not happy lindsay, with a house full of slowly dying rats.
"just be careful no animals eat the rats, lindsay," her dad told her during a phone call home one day, "it'll kill them too."
so, linds worried and took extra care to make sure she got all the dead rats before other animals gobbled them up.
eventually, all those stupid rats died and lindsay put away the poison and the problem seemed over.
except.
a few days later, talking to her papa, she found out that a cat had died suddenly. and its belly was really swollen and no one was exactly sure what happened...
the verdict is still out on the cause of death. but i have my theories.

  1. We so enjoy you stories. My wife and I were in Villa last october and I also went on to East Ambae for a spell. I follow you friends blogs there, also. There are lots of cultural and historical links between there and Mackay, Queensland. We like the way you acknowledge and recognise connections. Most of us never get any recognition, unless we mess up. Then we get more than we can handle. Love your work and your passion.
