The harbor fog clung to cobblestones as lanterns trembled tonight. A bell tolled somewhere unseen, calling secrets from sleeping alleys. In the pale doorway, violin case rested, breathless and mute. A newspaper flapped on a railing, announcing yesterday's impossible resolve. Somebody whispered names, but none claimed guilt beneath the clock. Light spilled from a window, painting suspects with amber hesitation. A clock in the hall sighed, marking unwelcome, inevitable arrival. The victim lay not far, elegant, pale, and judging quietly. Someone had arranged lilies around the body like quiet witnesses. I am Detective Lark, and this harbor keeps watchful secrets. Tonight, every shadow will confess before the morning's iron rules. Rain began softly, tapping stories against glass like anxious fingers. From the balcony, a silhouette watched, calculating whom night protected. Every breath tasted of rain, tobacco, and unspoken accusations tonight. This is how murder begins: with fog, doors, and names. The scene breathes, inviting questions, promising that answers will sting. And somewhere, someone rehearses alibis while the harbor holds breath.
