The old clock struck midnight. Silence filled the empty room. A storm raged outside now. Lightning flashed through the glass. She saw the body there. It lay upon the rug. Cold eyes stared at her. Blood soaked the white shirt. He did not breathe anymore. She knew this man well. Death had come for him. A shadow moved in back. Fear froze her heart cold. The killer raised the knife. She screamed into the dark.
