The Mystery of George

By Christopher J Rodriguez

Once upon a time there was a mountain that cried like a fountain, fountain of rocks, rocks that would roll for miles and miles and miles at a time. However, one rock that was spewed out of the mountain was so round, so fast, so perfect that the rock rolled on and on and on until it rolled into the middle of a small town close to scandinavia. One of the villagers named George, head of the detective department in the village, always had a hunch when it came to figuring out where objects came from. So he packed a lunch bag and set off to see if he could find where the boulder came from, but he never returned. No one had seen him ever again...ever again.
