Mystery Monday – Mineral Creek Chapter 6

Dear Diary,

I visited with Elsie today but I learned absolutely nothing. All she wanted to talk about was the latest fashions that the ladies in Tulsa were wearing. She never used to care about things like that. She has changed so much in the last few months. It’s like I don’t even know this Elsie anymore.

I asked her how her teacher friend was doing and she vaguely said that he was doing fine. Anytime I brought him up, she would change the topic. When I told her people have been seeing her walking out of town each night when the sun began to set she just told me people need to mind their own business.

I know that was directed at me but I’m just trying to look after her. We have been friends since we were young girls and right now she doesn’t seem to be capable of making good decisions. Well, after the failure to learn anything with our visit today I have come to a decision. Tonight I am going to follow her and see where she goes every evening. Perhaps when I find out what draws her away I can then begin to help her see the follies of what she is doing to her reputation. I will tell you all tomorrow dear diary.

Yours Truly,

Anna
