I heard from a variety of readers about some of the oddball events cops get called in on. One reported a loose emu. Others told me about piglets, horses, and chickens in various schools. Another Googled ‘high school prank goat’ and found numerous incidents. The best was when some kids put three goats in a school and painted “1”, “2”, and “4” on them; the staff spent hours looking for Number 3. (I also heard that this was done with piglets.)
Chapter 63 sees Grim seeing some more action. After reading this, my wife told me, “Kelly needs to keep Grim on a shorter leash! He’s always getting into trouble!” I replied, “How much shorter can it get? He was standing next to her!” I also told her that I could have easily split Chapter 63 in half, but that would probably result in riots. She agreed, and said readers would hunt me down, and come to the house with pitchforks and torches.
