Ah, the end! Read carefully. The clues are there.

Catch up: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

“I was going to call him. That day. I loved him. I should have told him. I just…when he proposed I just freaked out. He’s my best friend. I was afraid getting married would ruin everything. I mean, my parents…they don’t even talk to each other anymore. I know it was stupid. I realized it was stupid. Will would never hurt me like that. I was going to tell him I was wrong. But Hank said he needed cooling off, and you know, they’re really close. If I had just been brave enough…”

In the home stretch now!

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…Yes. I knew they were seeing one another. I knew my son was in love with her. He always was. They both were, since they were little, chasing after that girl. I always knew it was my Will who would win her in the end. They’re both good boys, but Hank, he’s always had a wild streak. And she’s a nice girl, good head on her shoulders. And Will’s such a good…was a good boy. God, why would he do this? Oh, my boy. I just want him back. God, I want him back.”

Hump day for Voice Week!

“Yes, Mr. Carson worked under my supervision. I hired him. I would describe him as…dependable. Professional. I can’t attest to his mental state. He didn’t bring his personal life to work with him, but he seemed a very stable young man. To be honest, this came as a surprise. I thought at first there must be some kind of mix-up and it had been Hank Martin. People often mixed the two of them up; they shared an office, were old friends, I believe. Will Carson was not the one I would have guessed would go off the deep end.”

I’m having minor server issues on this site today, so it may be going up and down as I work with my host to fix it. Meantime, the Voice Week site shouldn’t have any problems.

I think everyone’s voices are going swimmingly, don’t you? Here’s my second.

“Well, I probly knew him better than anybody, but we haven’t hung out much since he hooked up with Liz. You know how it is. But I was happy for him. I wish he’d told me when they broke up. Before he…you know. Maybe I could have talked him out of it. But am I shocked? Well, you gotta understand, Will was obsessed with Liz, even when we were kids. I never thought she was that into him, but, you know. So when they got together I was afraid it was gonna flop. But Will was just in heaven, you know. I was happy for him. So I didn’t say anything. I kind of blame myself, you know? I just wish he told me when they broke up.”

First day of Voice Week! Going with a dialogue angle this year. Read everyone else’s voices here.

“They was out in the hall when they broke up. Ah heard the whole thing. Ah poke mah head outside the do’ when she was gone, he was leanin’ on the wall, lookin’ like he was about to cry. Ah aksed him, was he gonna be O.K.?—He was always a good boy, heppin’ me carry mah groceries up the stair.—An’ he look at me and he say, ‘Miss Emma? Ah was gonna marry that girl.’ An’ ah says, ‘Well ah guess you just gonna hafta marry some other girl. And that’s O.K.’ An’ he smile at me. He was sad, but ah jus don’t think that boy’d kill his-self. Had to much sense to be doin’ some foolish thing like that.”
