THE WORLD ACCORDING TO OGDEN

Hi everyone, first let me introduce myself. I'm Ogden, just Ogden with no first name or title and only one person has ever shortened it to Oggie, my best friend and housemate, Saffron. Some people might have thought I was opinionated but the way I saw it, I had a range of views about just about everything and not always in line with the rest of the population.
We lived in a town, an ordinary, average town where nothing unusual happened and everyone was the same as everywhere else. That was until a strange macabre event that changed everything from one of general complacency to one of growing fear.
Three types of footwear, all different sizes and designs, were found in a variety of locations in the town. Discarded? Thrown away or lost you might say and I'd agree, except each shoe held a severed foot.
The local police followed numerous leads and motives, but could find no reference to missing persons, trace any possible victims or even the rest of the body parts. It was soon obvious that any possible answers seemed thin on the ground. The local council and authorities were growing increasingly worried as fear and uncertainty quickly spread on the streets of the town.
The situation was made worse when a naked man was found, murdered, with his own severed foot ceremoniously stuffed in his mouth.
Of course, it goes without saying I had my own thoughts and, with no solution in sight, I decided I needed to help and do a bit of amateur sleuthing to help solve these bizarre mysteries.
