Good morning, Wilmington.

UD English professor Siobhan Carroll said her short story ‘For He Can Creep’ was adapted for Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots after she signed off on its rights, and she watched the episode premiere in May.

She now uses her commercial writing experience—gained through consulting for TV and video game projects—to shape her creative writing lessons at UD.

Today, the New Castle County Division of Police introduced their new facility dog—Wombat—received from nonprofit Canine Companions for Independence after a two-week training in Long Island; he will serve as a goodwill ambassador to calm and comfort witnesses and victims at community events, following the service of the previous facility dog Nikko.

Ex-Wilmington mayor Mike Purzycki’s foundation is seeking to take over the decrepit Gibraltar estate that has been partly restored with state, city, and federal funds, but the Land Bank delayed the transfer last week amid concerns over a conflict of interest raised by councilwoman Shané Darby and local residents (including questions about process transparency). The foundation will work with the Land Bank and community stakeholders to restart discussions on Gibraltar’s future (a plan that could include further restoration and zoning changes) in the coming months.
