The Confession
Enclosed for your approval is the Final White draft of Detective Dialogue at one of the ge-neric crime scenes. I’ve written the details so that this scene is not necessarily time-specific. That seemed to be the inference from your last memo. I know that you are still waiting to purchase rights to the killer’s diaries and that is the material we need, obviously, to construct some kind of chronological story.
There is, however, some cut-away material as you’ll notice: the reference to Sgt. Jauntley at another location where a different homicide has occurred. You’ll recall that Jauntley is the detective with the sick interest in victims of extremely violent serial killers. He loves to gaze at the gruesome details and here one of the detectives refers to a telephone call in which a friend of his, a fellow investigator, just informs him that Jauntley has to be removed from the house because the killing is so horrific that even Jauntley cannot endure it without reach-ing the point of nausea and vomiting.
The Vigil
I see the circular beam of the tower light and it stares back at me with accusation…cold orb of its eye piercing through the saline haze of summer twilight…my little girl…my Georgia…do you hear me?…forgive me…forgive me…
Ralph Unda has never been the same since the disappearance of his only daughter. Disturbed for some time by the death of a seagull, the young woman takes her father’s boat out one evening to photograph the sunset. Later, the Coast Guard returns with the vessel, but no Georgia.
As the lighthouse keeper for Boston Light, Unda is in a prime location to keep watch. He’s a common sight on Little Brewster Island—a solitary figure gazing through binoculars, waiting for her to return from the dark, turbulent water.
The puzzle of Georgia’s disappearance comes to light through multiple perspectives: Unda, a man overcome with guilt and despair, the Greek chorus of townspeople who witnessed her stormy life and her father’s devotion, Georgia’s haunting pleas traveling over the horizon, and the songs and ancient stories that keep Unda tethered to the living.
A stunning meditation on innocence, attachment, and grief, THE VIGIL tells a timeless tale of mental struggle and acceptance. Written in beautiful, captivating prose, this story swirls with the mysteries and depths of the sea, and with aching resonance for anyone who has ever loved absolutely, beyond the limits of time and space.
