The Wall #30

It's the beginning of a new year and new challenges from my friend Jenny Matlock! This week's Saturday Centus allows 100 words plus the prompt for a total of 102. Click on the button to the left to join in and/or read what others are writing from this story prompt.
Let's see where we can go with it in the continuing tale of The Wall.

~ With the holidays behind us, we decided to let the authorities in on what had been happening since my discovery of the key in the wall weeks ago. Especially since the car episode on the street Christmas Eve.
There had been no word from the fellows who'd knocked me out and stolen the key but it was obvious they still wanted something from me. Before Christmas, I'd resolved to back off but now that Wally was here, I thought, "Resolution, Schmezolution!" I need to get to the bottom of this!
Maybe it was time to finish the letter to my cousin, John. ~

Okay. Sorry. I think I'm losing my mind here and that's all I could think of!

I admire how you're keeping this going.

Anxious to see how you integrate the cliffhanger into your story.

What's this all about?

Keeping a journal or diary has never been easy for me. I loved the idea of it but remembering to do it daily was a problem. Then I'd feel guilty; procrastinating, thinking I'd make it up the next day only to find that a week had flown by without so much as a word from me! The worst part was that I couldn't remember some of the clever things I'd planned to say about the mundane experiences I'd had that made me...well, me. I think I'm a different person than I was all those years ago...expanding on old interests and learning new ones...teaching my little women and learning from them as well.

That time was longer ago than I care to think about. But the idea of putting down my thoughts where I can find them again has been ruminating lately so I decided to try it again in a newfangled context. What follows are the occasionally profound (said with tongue in cheek), often tedious, possibly interesting wanderings of a thoughtful mind.

Perhaps some of the musings that pass this way will inspire you, touch your heart, or brighten your day. So keep an open mind as you ponder my meanderings.
