I look over the brim of my Glasses at the Cake Tin that lays empty. My mind goes over the only three suspects that could have committed such a crime. Undoubtedly only one is the true culprit while the other two merely were possible accomplices.
Focusing my gaze first on my Dog Max, I walk up and grasp the Door Handle, gently closing the door on him. The last thing I want is for him to bolt out into the garden. The last time he suspected he was in trouble, he went out at such a speed he lost control and knocked over our Bird House.
βMaxβ, I say with my stern tone. All at once, his body language changes from a happy pup to a worried dog. He was making himself as small as possible. I wasnβt sure whether he was guilty of the crime or because he knew this tone meant bad things.
Kneeling down, I gestured for him to come near, which he dutifully obeyed. Examining him, I determined there was no way he was the true culprit. He seems to be an unwitting accomplice to the actual criminal. He was likely the one who cleaned up the crime scene afterwards. Heβd have a lot more jam and cake over his fur if he really were responsible.
Opening the door to the garden, I release him knowing he may lead to the next culprit. Following him outside, I find him by our makeshift washing line, happily waggling his tail as he looked up expectantly. We had bought an old Gymnastics Bar at a second-hand shop and just used it to dry bed sheets. There sat proudly at the top was Mister Moon, our Cat.
Looking carefully over his fur, I didnβt see the telltale signs of food debris. However, I couldnβt discount him as a suspect. Knowing him, he knocked the Cake Tin off the counter and Max being Max, just ate the freely offered treat. A sound deduction but there is a third suspect I must find and investigate.
I went back in the house through the hallway, where the route split like a Fork. The left would lead to my office, the right to the playroom. Knowing my current suspect, she would be in there playing.
Stepping into the room, I am greeted by a ghastly sight that would make any interior designer puke. On the wall was a big Frozen Neon Sign, and hanging from a coat rack on Hangers were countless princess dress costumes. I donβt think we had missed a single Disney princess. But we had agreed to let little Mel de

I am not much of a science fiction writer (yet). So this is my first work in a non-fantasy setting so I'm a bit outside my comfort zone but happily so.
This is also the first story that I have sent online so if I have done anything incorrectly, please let me know I'm still a bit new to all this.
I wasn't sure if the story counted as science-fiction or dystopia so again, I apologize if this is the wrong place, I mean no harm.
I am looking for any kind of feedback. Whatever you are willing to give and whatever comes to mind. Your two cents so to speak!
Thank you so much for your time and patience, it means the world to me, and I truly hope you all like the story!
Preferably no neon in the title, but a brief mention of "neon" in the lyrics. For example: Houndmouth- Sedona
Hi, I'm looking for a subreddit that has pictures of neon signs or glowing logos that have damaged lighting and the words spell out weird stuff. Like FIVE GUYS could become IV GUYS.
Thank you!
He coulda added a new verse tho
Whole album is fucking fire imoπ₯
I heard this word a couple months ago used to describe the night time neon Japanese aesthetic, and I forgot it. Can you jog my memory?
EDIT EDIT EDIT - As of Feb 26
Hey all. I can't thank you enough for all of your help in trying to find this elusive word. I have internalized all of your suggestions and honestly cannot say that I have heard the word I am looking for. The upside is, I have found that there are a cornucopia of words whose definition orbits the word I am looking for, and I have been exposed to some interesting new Japanese cities and novel terms.
I want to give special props to the following, as I feel they most closely matched the word I am thinking of:
u/xplatt for Neon-Noir
u/Honestly_Just_Vibin for bi-sexual lighting
u/Tain101 for bi-lighting (another form of bisexual lighting)
I also really liked the suggestions that the word itself was possibly derived from Japanese locals like Shibuyu or Harajuku (a district of Shibuyu, Japan).
Not of these terms scratched the itch that is this word for me, but I found bisexual lighting to be a very close representation of the idea, being that I remember it having a lot to do with light itself, and not as much an era or the source of the lighting or anything else.
I will keep watching the thread in hopes to find the word. But no matter what, thanks for all the ideas. My word might not even exist, but it's been interesting seeing all the responses!
... and they eat the steak and some cake while laughting iirc. I think the artist is someone than later work for ed banger's records but not sure.
Yeah, it was weird :-)

I've posted this a few times it I wanted to get feed back on the actual query I've used on a few agents already.
Dear Agent,
Ex-Special forces member and detective Kain Forsyth has a rare disease that makes him the only person in the last great earthen city of New Metro unable to be connected to the mandatory city-wide neural network. When a bizarre and unexplained set of killings emerge, Kain must overcome his resentment of technology and track the killer down.
Kain meets Kimberly Newmyer, a talented and feisty young data grifter, who makes her living scraping the net for peopleβs data. When she learns that her younger sister is the lead suspect in one of the murders, she jumps at the chance to find the killer and clear her sister's name.
Together they must hunt for the killer as the city loses itself to his sinister master plan.
NEON FEVER is a cyberpunk thriller complete at 87k words for fans of NEUROMANCER and THE BONE COLLECTOR.
Thank you for your consideration.
