Statues: Mystery

All they found of my brother was a golden spray-painted hat and a bottle of water set inside it. That's not as weird as it sounds; he was a statue. That's not as weird as it sounds, either. He was one of those gold-painted mime actors who pretend to be statues until somebody puts money in their hat, and then they rotate around and entertain. A bottle of water makes sense as a gift, too--it's hot out there. Nobody would have thought a thing about it. He's the third statue to go missing in a week, though. The first two were a boyfriend-and-girlfriend pair, so most people assumed they just ran off together somewhere.


Inspiration: A "found object" photo of a gold hat and a bottle inside it.
Story Potential: Low.
