How fun to be able to find places for powerful setting elements in your own story in progress. So glad to have sparked that thinking.Thanks for sharing.

Now I'm trying to think of the item the heroine kept from her college boyfriend in the story I'm plotting. Something she's kept for over 35 years after they amicably went their separate ways and eventually married other people. Hmmm. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Welcome to WITS!

I love the detailed examples. And can relate to watching mysteries with my mother. Especially a PBS series that began with Edward Gorey's drawings still dance morbidly before my eyes when I hear that intro.
