January Challenge - "She vanished just as the year ended"

After receiving an unsigned letter from a secret admirer, will Stacey succumb to this mysterious person and his one way, first class ticket to Boston, or will she continue to slave away at the restaurant with truckers slapping her butt?

She vanished just as the year ended because of a curse. She is not mundane, she is from a parrallel mystic world. She is in love with a handsome human guy who she meets on every new year's day. One time he finally tries to break the damned curse. 

She has disappeared, just as the New Year celebrations are to reach their climax. She often disappears. Rather she hides, and it's his role to find her. But the timing his wrong. He follows the clues to look for her, hoping to do so quickly to re-join the celebrations. He finds her, but not where either of them expected or wanted to be.

The story starts with a girl disappearing, but was she ever really gone? A bit sadder than your average challenge entry, but I hope you enjoy. This story is written in first and third person, in an unusual format that seems more poem than narrative.

Leaving in the Republic of Ireland, I created a story which involves the Magdalene Laundries, which existed in Northern and in the Republic of Ireland. I set the story in the year 1996, so no cell phone etc. existed, as we know it today. It is hardly mentioned what happened at the crime scene, ore what stood in the diary. All persons are fictional, so made up by myself. I do not know, if a similar case once happened, but I think it did not, so also that crime is made up.

The Crimson Echo

Them. New Year’s Eve- New Year

A woman has vanished, but no matter how hard she tries, no one will tell Patience who the woman is, or what happened. Why is everyone keeping the truth from her?

An election. A pair of twins. The most lucrative family in America, and a hard to impress matriarch great grandmother.
