Things you can’t make up, part onePosted 2 years, 3 months ago., on Saturday, May 17th, 2008, at 10:50 am It’s nice when people who have been missing for 42 years are finally found. Especially when they’re found inside their apartment. It’s sad when they’re dead, though. It’s been well observed that one of the downsides of being a writer is that many of the outrageous and bizarre situations that come up in real life, like the story above, would not pass as believable fiction. If I had written a story about a woman who was found dead in her apartment after having been missing for 42 years, I would have been told that it lacks verisimilitude.

You just can’t make this stuff up. Why oh why wouldn’t a landlord maybe check an apartment they wanted to rent out for dead people sometime in the passing of four decades?
