The moon cast an eerie glow over the quiet neighborhood. A lone figure crept silently through the empty streets. The sound of footsteps echoed in the still night air. A dog barked in the distance, breaking the tense silence. The figure stopped in front of a dark, foreboding house. With a gloved hand, the killer reached for the doorknob. Inside, a faint light flickered from a room upstairs. The intruder climbed the stairs, heart pounding with anticipation. A floorboard creaked, but no one stirred within the house. At last, the figure stood outside the dimly lit room.
