A short story, written in appreciation of editors, beta readers, and writing group members. All the people who (have helped) are helping (will help) me turn this into that.

"The murder seems to have occurred sometime during the night, Mrs. Mason. I'll send someone to estimate the time of death."
"Can't you?"
"I could, but it would be much better coming from an expert--a detective or a coroner."
"Who are you, then?"
"Simply a humble scribe, but don't worry I have help--writing group, beta reader, editor. Once they give me their feedback this scene will be much better. Possibly you won't even recognize it."
"Possibly or... Hopefully might be a better word to use."
"Let's stick to our knitting. Shall we, Mrs. Mason."
