    A SERIES OF DEATHS AND THE WHISPERING THING
    THE MYSTERY BEHIND BARS

    Bullfiro, Tony's abusive father, has escaped, and the news devastates Meg. How she will be able to protect Tony until Bullfiro's back behind bars, she doesn't know. She does know she has Bruce's help. Two adults ready to lay their lives for this one special child should be enough, right?

    But she still does not know about the strange deaths that progressed until Bullfiro's escape.

    She did not know about the mystery behind each death, or that Tony's father has his own imaginary friend, the one he called The Whispering Thing, who knew about people's darkest, ugliest secrets. Obviously, this imaginary friend is the opposite of Bruce.

    Meanwhile, in Tony's little world, he is busy plotting out his guardian's love lives. He has everything in bullet points in his notebook. Such tenacity should bear fruits. Right? Especially when it's obvious, even to him, that Bruce and Meg are right for each other. Right?

    Bullfiro and The Whispering Thing are coming.

    Then a visitor in the middle of the night brings with her a secret that will tell what really are Bruce and The Whispering Thing.

    “Okay. We should decide on a movie,” Meg said, now settled.

    “Actually, I had a movie in mind. I mean if that’s not a problem,” Tony said.

    “I don’t see why it should be,” Meg answered.

    “Great!”

    With that, Tony took control of the remote. After searching through the movie streaming service Meg had, he eventually found the perfect movie. Bruce supposed he should have been suspicious when he noticed the movie was in the romance category. But he chalked it up to the streaming service placing it in the wrong genre.

    That theory was changed quickly when Tony looked up at the two adults expectantly.

    “I hear this movie is good,” he said.

    “Did you? Are you sure?” Bruce asked in a tone that suggested disbelief.

    “What exactly are we watching?” Meg asked, the same tone of disbelief in her own voice.

    “It’s a movie about a guy and a girl who meet at a library and after a series of ridiculous events they end up together. Then they live happily ever after,” Tony explained. “That type of movie.”

    Bruce and Meg glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes. In their silence, each of them believed the other was thinking the same thing.

    “No offense, kiddo, but that sounds kind of like a romance movie,” Bruce said.

    “It is,” Tony said bluntly.

    Author

    Eden Laroux

    Eden Laroux was born on November 27, 1978, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to a father who was a butcher and a mother who was a florist.Her mother, originally from Saint-Emilion in France, migrated to the US to become a textile worker.Eden Laroux was born as Emilia Domini. She had an elder brother, Calvin, and has a sister named Philomena.Her father, a second-generation Italian immigrant, left Emilia’s mother for a laundrywoman, who was also of Italian descent. He was a gambler and an alcoholic. It was learned later that he not only stole money from his employer, but also left the family with gambling debts to settle.Eden was 14 at the time, and the experience of being abandoned and deceived seared into her memory – a theme which showed up in most of her early literary works – sad poems and essays--and in her college years, short stories for various creative writing classes.Eden's brother Calvin chose to leave his own studies and worked odd jobs to supplement their mother’s income, which was obscenely meager, after their father left.Despite financial difficulties, Calvin pushed Eden to work for a degree, and through his and other people’s help, she was able to get a scholarship to attend college and study English Literature.Three weeks after Eden's graduation, Calvin - a closeted homosexual - was killed in a freak accident at work (stabbed by his partner in the middle of a long drive for an out-of-town furniture delivery). He had “come out” only to Eden. He and Eden had been very close, owing to their father’s leaving and their mother becoming undone and distraught.Philomena, Eden's younger sister, is the family’s joy and the family’s artist. While her formal training is in business (she is currently studying for a degree in finance and strategic management), she nevertheless finds time to also dabble in the visual arts – as a potter, painter, and, of late, as a furniture designer.Emilia chose to write under her mother’s name, Eden, as a tribute both to her mother's unconditional love and for her strength to overcome an enormous challenge of raising a family – all on her own.

      Chapter One

      ONCE DONE CRUISING the grocery store aisles, Meg and Bruce made their way to the checkout counter with a cart full of groceries.

      It was a short walk, given the size of the store. Shop Box was by far the largest store in town. Bulk and low prices were its claim to fame, along with the store's incredibly simple-looking, half-witted mascot.

      It was a box of all things. A brown, cardboard box with eyes and a mouth. Its mouth was a perpetual doltish smile. Meg recalled that its name began with a B. She was reasonably sure there was probably a box pun involved.

      Whatever the name, it was still a very unimaginative mascot in her opinion.

      Bruce had his own thoughts about the grinning caricature. Every time he looked at the pictures of the mascot strewn all around the store, he would frown as if it offended him somehow.

      Meg used this time to eliminate some of the junk food from her cart by placing a few cellophane-wrapped packages onto random shelves. She was still convinced double-dipped chocolate-sauce-covered cookies were a one-way ticket to Heartattackville, offered to all unsuspecting patrons in a neatly-packaged bulk box.

      It was certainly worth it to get the cauliflower into the cart.

      Are you sure we can't get that huge bag of marshmallows back there? Bruce asked as he looked longingly over his shoulder back at the treats.

      Yes, I'm sure, Meg said firmly. We have enough junk. I don't know if it's possible for you to get sick from all of it, but the last thing I want to do is give Tony diabetes.

      Fair point, Bruce relented despite the pout on his face.

      Meg couldn't help but notice that wasn't the only time she had witnessed a childish response from Bruce. Despite his occasional lapses into immaturity, he'd never behaved in a completely irritating manner. If anything, Meg found it simultaneously charming and goofy in an odd way.

      That perplexed Meg. All her life she had connected with mature people on an intimate level. Their patient but no-nonsense worldviews resonated deeply within her, as if they shared an unspoken bond of sincerity, purpose, and inner motivation to make the most of what life had to offer. Her job could be incredibly challenging and left precious little time for frivolity. Daily goals were set and frequently achieved due to her relentless drive and single-minded focus.

      So immaturity in adults was not her favorite personality trait.

      Yet Bruce somehow made it appealing.

      I've been meaning to ask you something, Meg said as she tried to think of another subject. Just how do you eat? It seems you have no problem with that, yet there are things you can't do that make no sense. Like the fact that you can't actually touch anyone. No offense, but that seems weird to me.

      Bruce paused for a moment, contemplating.

      "You know, Meg... in all honesty, I'm not
