In Summation
I like the concept of this meme, robbed from jd3000.
If you give me one or more titles of stories I didn't write, I'll give you a summary of the nonexistent story.

You don't get a lot of murders in an Eskimo village. But after a local ivoryworker is found with half an elk antler rack lodged in his chest, wise woman Makulaku must strap on her mukluks and solve the crime to preserve the village peace and help the sculptor's soul move on. Can the fact that his death coincided with the whale migration provide the clue she needs?*
2. The Contradiction
A casual chat about childhood memories reveals that sisters Rachel and Laura Stein have different recollections of Rachel's seventh birthday party. At first they laugh it off, but Rachel's curiosity pushes her to investigate. She finds no photographs in her albums to confirm either story. Was that dark-haired boy from next door in attendance, or wasn't he? And what exactly happened that night after all the guests went home?
3. Magic and the Single GirlWanna-be flapper Agnes Mulligan is hopeless on the dance floor, too shy for sequins and feathers, and can't hold her gin. It's a good thing she has that chalk pentagram in her ( ... )

You think you've won the girl of your dreams, and along comes some Romeo to screw things up. Revenge is personal, but sometimes you have to strike out for an idea--a demographic--an entire history's worth of men wronged. It's not better to have loved and lost. Watch your back, Romeo. We want what was supposed to be ours.
2.) Thinking of Joshua
He was two years older than me...I used to worship that kid. Did everything he did, learned everything he learned. Kind of his disciple, even. A protege. They said a lot of things at his funeral, but the thing they said the most was: "It's always the quiet ones."
3.) The Journey Through Everest
Climb Mount Everest to escape the Chinese army? That's crazy. But demolitions expert and very-wanted con man "Razor" Huang thinks he knows how to get himself and his crew across the border to safety in Nepal. It's gonna take a little longer than he'd like. But at least there are no yeti underground....
Tricky ones!

Clyde Munroe knew, from the moment he sat down at the poker table, that Deadeye Murphey was going to shoot him if he won. He also knew that Deadeye was going to shoot him if he lost. But he knew one other thing...that the slow-acting poison in Deadeye's whiskey wasn't due to kick in for another twenty minutes, and if he wanted to survive long enough to watch Deadeye die, he was going to have to play the game of his life.

What the crap are you trying to pull me into with #3?!? Whatever, I'm going to bed, man. More synopses in the morning. :P

1) Whiskey Stole My Sister
Liquor is bad, the Smoue sisters agree. It turns out that bootleggers are worse. When whiskey-soaked smugglers kidnap her sister Charlotte, Rebecca hikes up her skirts and goes after them. Will she find her sister dead, sold, degraded? Or is Charlotte in fact a willing part of the alcoholic plot?
2) The Elephant in the Corner
A physical deformity can be an elephant in the corner--a glaring issue that no one wants to mention. Dramatic, extravagant Vivian Gould considers her own missing arm to be a judge of character: directness wins you friendship with this society dame, furtive glances will get you dumped in the cold. But her system breaks down when she meets quiet Casper James...because for all his gentle conversation and sweet consideration, he doesn't seem to notice her disability at all.
3) Bound and Gagged: Memoirs of a Vatican Street SweeperAntonio Botelli has seen a lot in his seventy years in Vatican City. And it's incredible what people will discuss when there's no one around to hear them ( ... )

I swear I'm not an alchemist. I don't dabble in that stuff, all right? But somebody's got to sell chemicals and equipment to all those kooks out there. So maybe the herbs aren't as pure or the alembics as clean as they ought to be...it's tough times, you know, with the plague and all. And the customers are all heretics anyway, right? But I seriously don't know why that gunk at the bottom of my lead vial turned it into gold. I totally did not mean to offend both God and nature. Now...can you please not burn me at the stake?
2) Killing TimeDeath isn't all it's cracked up to be. Fifteen years after his accidental demise at the greatest frat party in history, the ghost of Brian Newton is bored, bored, bored. Haunting drunks isn't fun anymore, and as for invisibility...well, you see one house full of naked sorority chicks, you've seen them all. He needs something to keep himself busy. A couple of buddies would really liven things up. Some hard-partying frat brothers, that'd make the afterlife ( ... )
