Gem-Grandpa Bill's Developing Mnemonic example of -Short Story Incorporating Pegwords in Modal Order: The Greater Portland Crab Caper

The salty air of Portland, Maine, hung heavy as Detective Ray "The Hound" Howland, a grizzled dog with a nose for trouble, arrived at the scene. A giant ice sculpture, commissioned for the annual "Frozen Fest," had been mysteriously defaced, a single word etched into its crystalline surface: IONIAN.

His partner, a nervous pig named Officer Percival, squealed, "It's the Modes Gang, Ray! They're hitting all the landmarks!"

Howland sighed. The Modes Gang, a group of musically inclined vandals, was terrorizing the city. Their leader, known only as "The Lion," left cryptic clues at each site, each related to a different musical mode.

Their second target was the Old Port district. A majestic lion statue, usually roaring defiance, was found serenely reclining, a tiny harp beside it. The word LYDIAN was painted on the base.

"They're getting bolder," Howland growled, surveying the scene. A trail of tiny footprints led away from the statue. "Looks like a mouse was here."

The trail led them to the Portland Observatory, where they found an ape gazing sadly out at the harbor, a mournful ballad playing on a nearby antique radio. The word AEOLIAN was scrawled on the railing.

Inside the observatory, a flickering lamp cast eerie shadows on a group of experimental musicians, playing dissonant music. The final word, LOCRIAN, was spray-painted on the wall..

"This isn't just vandalism," Howland realized. "It's a musical message."

Just then, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, a flamenco dancer. "Dorian," she purred, before her arrest.

As the police led their suspect away, Howland finally understood the message. Each mode was a clue, leading to the gang's hidden concert hall, where they were about to unleash a sonic attack on the city.
