Hello, it's me again.
Time ago I wrote an story inspired in a TV show named Unsolved Mysteries. For everybody, don't know what I'm talking about, Unsolved Mysteries was a TV show aired from late 80 to 2010.
I watched it in México when was a kid, in 90 years and I think only watched Robert Stack episodes, but later, when I was a teenager in last 2000 the show weren't aired anymore here in mexicans TV newtworks.
But few years ago, when I was closed in my home because the Covid alert, I discovered Unsolved Mysteries again in YouTube (Unsolved Mysteries in YouTube) even after watched Unsolved Mysteries new era epidodes in Netflix.
I'm kind of nostalgic about my child and teen years, so that's why I wrote an story inspired in that show (My story).
And I thought lot about a new story and here we go.
