Rain hammered the cracked window as Detective Mara Voss quietly stepped alone into the abandoned lighthouse at very cold midnight. A dead body lay beneath the spiral staircase, its hand clutching a brass key near shattered glass and old blood. Mara knelt beside the victim, noticing a silver locket, wet footprints, and a strange symbol deeply carved into old floorboards. The locket opened with a soft click, revealing a tiny photograph of the mayor's missing daughter from twelve years ago. Outside, waves crashed against jagged rocks while a distant foghorn moaned through the haunted stormy darkness like a wounded animal. Mara heard footsteps above her, slow and deliberate, followed by the creak of an opening door somewhere in the lighthouse. She drew her weapon, rising carefully, her eyes fixed on the shadow moving across the ceiling above the old stairs. Then the lights died, plunging the lighthouse into very cold blackness, and a voice softly whispered her name from below. Mara turned toward the sound, knowing the killer had been patiently waiting for her all along in the dark shadows. The first shot suddenly rang out before she could even scream, and the dark mystery ended before it truly began.
