A short preview of a funny mystery story, "Agent M and the Case of the Missing Sunflower Seeds". The short lines at the bottom are my favorite lines.

Agent M and the Case of the Missing Sunflower Seeds
Psst! Agent M here. I can't tell you what the M stands for. It's top secret. Sorry. But I CAN tell you what my mother calls me. Maxwell. Maxwell Orville Fadatta, to be exact. And Maxwell Orville, real loud, when she's upset. Why? That's what I've been wondering, and frankly, it bothers me. It's my job to know the whys and wherefores of stuff. I'm Agent M, Private Eye.

But anyway. I was at my desk, just sitting there, because...that's what one normally does at a desk, duh. My way of sitting at a desk is slightly different than most normal people's, though, for the reason that I always keep my feet on it. Even when I write out my cases and stuff. My teacher says I'm the most flexible boy in sixth grade. I can also put my feet behind my head. Well, at least I used to be able to. If I tried now, you might hear a loud pop, and--well, let's just say it wouldn't be a pretty sight, I can tell you.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes. Sitting at my desk. It was a Friday. No, guess it was Saturday. It doesn't really matter, I guess. Yes, it had to've been a Saturday, because it was just after the mail call came that the dame came. Mail comes every day but Sunday...how'd I get on that subject?

So this dame comes in as I was writing out my last case, and she's crying, and I mean with a capital C. As in Boo Hoo.

I happened to know this dame. Relationship: Sister. Age: Somewhere between brat and eight. Name: Annika Josephine. Personality: Wierd.

I tried to look serious as I thought the matter over, which was hard to do while enjoying a delicious chocolate-on-chocolate ice cream bar. Trying to look serious is the hard part, I mean, not the thinking part. I think on a regular basis, thank you very much.

I have to add here that my sister is obessive-repulsive. She obessively either eats sunflower seeds or chews and snaps gum, which makes her repulsive.
