The rain hammered the windshield as Detective Mara Voss quietly parked outside the crumbling Victorian mansion on Blackthorn Hill tonight. A single light burned upstairs, and the front door swayed open like a dark mouth waiting invitingly for her there. Inside, the grandfather clock had stopped at midnight, its pendulum frozen above a body sprawled across the bloody Persian rug. The victim lay with eyes open, staring at the ceiling as if reading a final silent accusation written in dust. A shattered wine glass glittered beside the corpse, and crimson drops led toward the shadowed hallway beyond the open doorway. Mara stepped forward, her breath fogging the cold air, while her hand slowly drifted toward the holster at her side. Somewhere above, a floorboard creaked, proving the killer had not fled but waited, watching her every move in patient silence. She whispered, "Show yourself," and the mansion answered with a low, grinding laugh somewhere from deep within its ancient walls.
