WHO KILLED CAMERON SHAW?

There's a dramatic grabber. I don't even know why I'm doing this. Anyone can hack this sort of shit but I really needed to talk to someone who...wouldn't talk to me in person or talk to me.

Which is weird, because I'm a really social person. So hopefully I've done this right and nobody else can see it and I can keep talking to this stupid "blog" like it's a person and then I can get out all my feelings without having to stress anyone out.

Because I don't like stressing people out. I have a really shitty really tough job sometimes and when I go out and do things with people I don't want to drag them along. I learned that the hard way.

So.



Let me back up.

Okay. Um.

Hi.

I'm Jane Doe.

And I'm investigating the death of Cameron Shaw.

Chances are if you're not local you haven't heard about it. It was...bad to say the least.

But the guy sort of alerted us to the whole deal, which was weird. Most people don't announce this kind of thing is going to happen.

This one scares me the most.



Play or Die? What are we playing exactly?

For those of you (and by you I am of course meaning the audience of people not reading this..) not familiar with police procedure, it's never okay to get a letter like this.

especially since the stuff that you see in the corner there...

I'll see if I can take a picture of the whole letter. Understandably we started looking for people who'd fit the profile only to come up with ....well...a good chunk of the American Population...until this came up.









These were emailed to me on my work account. Along with the following message.

When you come up with Cameron Shaw? You get a name and a social security number. Who is Cameron Shaw? Is she dead? Is he dead? Just what does this person want with them?

I googled "art" and I came up with something that I think holds a hell of alot of promise.



For about two seconds I thought we'd found SHAW, but this guy is almost as illusive if not moreso..

Just who is this guy and what's his agenda?

Painting? in a basement?

Needless to say this prompted a hell of alot of discussion. Particularly when we were forced to consider the sheer number of people interested in this course. Any number of them could be Shaw...or for that matter Shaw's killer.

At least, the note, made sense.

So...I guess I got roped into playing along. I'll be posing as a late "student" in an effort to engage the students in this "class". I've got other people working on this 'Tutor' figure.

If you read the note, this is clearly someone who embraces the man's philosophy. an uncaring world? Where's the line between "art" and madness? Just how many people fall prey to the idea that a world without rules and conformity is a good thing?

Somewhere, Cameron Shaw is dead. Art may have killed him. Or her. Or even killed their spirit. But how? How can creation be responsible for killing?

....I think I'm beginning to see why I drew this case.
