Rain stitched silver lines across the manor's dark windows tonight. Inside, Inspector Vale discovered the body beneath grandfather's stopped clock. A single red glove rested beside the victim's outstretched hand. No footprints disturbed the dust surrounding the locked library door. Vale noticed every portrait faced inward, watching the silent corpse. Behind him, someone whispered, "You should have stayed away forever." The grandfather clock suddenly chimed thirteen, then fell strangely silent. Vale examined the corpse, finding no wound, only unnatural frost. A hidden music box began playing the victim's childhood lullaby. Then the library door unlocked itself with a soft click. Vale raised his revolver, facing three identical shadows behind him. Only one shadow moved, and it wore the red glove.
