As an avid reader, I am very familiar with the whodunnit genre. Here is a sample of my writing.
Todd leaned against the wall, watching his remote as it charged.
“What a geeky thing to do,” he thought.
“What I really want to do is get a date.”
But what else could he do but wait? As a boy who only had a high school science background, Todd knew little about anything else. Especially not about women.
As an eighteen year old high school senior, all Todd could dream about was the girls in his senior class. That was obvious, but of course the girls didn’t like him as much as he liked them. And Todd respected that. But it was because Todd was realizing what he really wanted to do, as a teenage boy, was to get close to a girl who liked him back.
All he knew was that charging batteries took up time from his other experiments.
Especially experiments like his shrink ray device.
Yes, a shrink ray device that fit right in the front hip pocket of his off-brand designer jeans. Todd had stood in the middle of his room, many times now, and shrunken himself down to the size of a small human being. It was scary at first, because Todd didn’t know what the shrinking down would do to him, and then returning to full size was unimaginable. Oddly enough, the shrink ray scaled down to the size of Todd’s new form, which made it the best invention of all times.
