Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

It's back. You're sitting at your computer or staring at your phone, searching for something lost. But you can't remember what it is, or was. All you know is that it's out there...it's important...and it was once yours.

Perhaps you never read it; perhaps you did--once, maybe twice. Or more. But for some strange reason, you can't remember if you did or didn't. Or what effect it had on you. Or...where it is now.

As you came onto Cricket today, the memory that you were missing this...thing slid into your head. As you pondered, staring at Pudding's Place, your eye snagged on a certain thread, and suddenly, the CB was no longer the familiar landscape you saw every day.

So you clicked the thread.

It loaded on your screen.

And here you are, reading, when suddenly it hits you.

Now you remember.

At last, it's sitting on your screen again, just as it has dwelled within your mind for all these years. Your heart skips a beat: Lake Lelillo is back.

~    ~ ~

Lake Lelillo is a ski lodge that was started in early 2017 by Micearenice (yours truly). The second installment in what was intended to be a trilogy, Lelillo stretched on for two and a half years before going into hibernation at Mice's farewell from the CB.

I did say on my leaving thread, however, that I might finish the story. Has that date come at too soon a time? I think not! Three years is far too long for a story to await completion. Leaving the CB was just the push I needed to tie up loose ends and officially pen ‘The End’. (Twice, in fact. You’ll see.)

It’s done (as done as it can be) and it’s back (enjoy it while it lasts!) and I’m back (for a limited time only)!

Now, for those of you new to the story of Lelillo: 

42 Chatterboxers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs embark on one of the most epic ski lodge adventures of all time. This is not your average murder mystery: Enter Lake Lelillo, a serene, expansive property once owned by the reclusive Tom Orville Noodle,  and his mazelike Noodle Manor. Enter also the caves below the property, two chaperones with a secret, and a murderer who defies all odds. Be aware of the antagonist: insidious, present through all, but invisible even to the reader’s eye until the very end.

What is this Mystery Lily and Cassy speak of? Why do Tom’s initials spell out something that should only be known at the Chatterbox? What secret could be more dangerous than a murderer? Lelillo is riddled with answers and is ready and willing to provide them. You need only trust your intuition and follow the clues. After all...

...Beneath everything you think you know, a deeper secret sleeps below. The murder mystery is only the surface of this story. Get ready to dive into a thrilling tale that will throw your world--and the Chatterbox itself--upside down. Your neutrality is acceptable now...but in the end, all must make a choice.

Welcome to Lelillo.

I'll be updating the story, at most, once daily on the original thread (see link above).

Thanks to everyone who participated in the story, and to all my readers who aren't in the story (but are just as important), and to anyone who decides to read it now!
