Fiction Relay Summary

I will update this each time a new Part is posted, but won’t bother to link each post – a full list along with the guidelines can be found on the Homepage.

Part One

We meet Rosalie as she is putting the finishing touches on her new apartment. She is a new student at the University of Chicago.  She is running late and as she is about to leave there is a knock on her door.

Part Two

The mystery knock on the door introduces us to a neighbor from downstairs. He thinks of himself as the caretaker for the block. He is a dark-haired stranger with intentions we are not quite sure of yet. The one thing that is obvious is his distaste for Rosalie’s loud music.

Part Three

Rosalie heads to class, but first she wants to make a stop at a bar she works at part time. When she gets there she realizes all the crowd, bumps, and the mysterious downstairs caretaker have distracted her. She has been robbed! Her purse, phone, wallet are missing.

Part Four

Joey the bartender gives the distraught Rosalie a drink and tries to calm her down. Joey is like the gaytastic brother she’s never had. Meanwhile, Charlie realizes his appearance may have caused Rosalie to completely blow him off. We also learn that Charlie has a mysterious job and maybe it isn’t the legal tax paying kind. We also discover that maybe there is more to Rosalie because she can’t just be a ‘normal’ college student.

Part Five

Rosalie decides to retrace her steps in an attempt to find her missing purse and wallet. While she is on her way home, Joey calls in a favor to trace her phone. He has some connection that can handle the request, but it costs him $ 600.
