A 5-year-old girl raised by her drug-addled mother had her doll, Betsy, as her only “friend”. Under the influence of the opium smoke always present in their home, the girl begins to believe that Betsy is speaking to her, even interacting with her – including telling her to do things that always seem to get her in trouble. One day, when her drug-addict mother refuses to throw her a birthday party to help her impress the popular girls in her class, the 5-year-old girl snaps and takes it out on her imaginary friend. Shortly after, her mother is arrested for possession of drugs. Later, as an adult, the girl finally decides to speak to her mother again, for the first time since the arrest, and discovers that there was more to the arrest than drugs.  Much more.

  Enjoy, folks!

Cafe is open!

"Welcome, welcome, curious heads!"

My name is Sir Mrrow, your host. In this cozy place of a blog you'll find all kinds of mystery I'm personally interested in.

But this site will not really satisfy those expecting logical, extensive analysis on unsolved crimes or such ('coz I don't really have that much free time due to my current main ambition in my art projects). This place is mainly just for fun, a space for personal insights and whatever thoughts come to my mind regarding any given subject. Some could be mild as a matcha latte, some could be strong as a bitter espresso.

I've been meaning to create a blog like this where I can express my passion on mystery but my oceanic mind just hadn't got the clarity until now. Hope I can at least write a post once a week.

So prepare your cake, coffee or hot cocoa. Get yourself comfy and enjoy your reading.  

Bienvenue à mon café!
