Once upon a time there was a private investigator named Mark who was working on a case which is the main focus of this story. As he entered his office he noticed a blue file sitting on the end of his desk with a note attached to it, that had the date on it which included the year 1873. The hand writing inside the file was sloppy as though a worm was dipped in ink and set free to squarm over it. The first page reads "Dear Mark, on your top shelf behind your desk is a journal with a song from a school play that my daughter performed in. Its a story told from the pages of a diary from a widowed store keeper named Mary Cook who's husband studied law and worked at the local bank in the town of Binding, Colorado. It was a small town mostly made of log cabins to match the surrounding wooded area in which it was located. Sorry if I'm getting lost in the memories like the pages in a Fairy Tale but the story always makes me feel as if I was there. Check in your Library, you'll find a manual with the title "Field Guide to becoming a Sketch Artist" in there you will find a bank check that will have a date on it. The number is the address to the old abandoned store at the end of town. Find the only floorboard with a blue mark on it, reach your hand underneath and you will discover why this story is so important in solving the case. The End
