The rain beat down on the cobblestone street. A lone figure hurried towards the old house. The door creaked open, revealing a dark hallway. Inside, a body lay sprawled on the floor. Blood stained the worn carpet a crimson red. A silver knife glinted in the dim light. The victim's eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. A gasp escaped the figure's trembling lips. This was a scene of unspeakable horror. Detective Miller stepped into the macabre tableau.
