Scratch marks on the floor
Signs of resistance
Purple bruises on his neck
Signs of being strangled to death
Trauma to his forehead
Signs of being killed by blunt force
Blood oozing from a puncture to the chest
Signs of being stabbed to death
Which caused this man to die?
Intact china
No signs of a robbery
Locked doors and windows remain undisturbed
No signs of a forced entry
Evidence concerning fingerprints and footprints are nonexistent
No signs of a perpetrator
Who killed this man?
A sound from below garners my attention
Lights flicker erratically causing picturesque frames
A black figure emerges from the wooden floor
I turn to my partner in angst
The black figure lunges at my partner
She screams and struggles as the black figure stabs her repeatedly
Every moment unfolds like a stop motion film
Each frame imprints her agonizing pain
Why does she have to die?
I become paralyzed from fear as the black figure turns to me
I try to move
My attempts are futile
It lunges at me and stares into my soul
Showing no mercy I am impaled by its elongated arms
As I lay bleeding out
I watch as it fazes through the floor
Taking my partner with it
What is that creature?
A man comes into the room
I cannot understand any of his words
However he seems calm
I pass out from blood loss
When I awake I am in a dark room
Chains to a cemented wall
Memories of the incident come flooding back
Anxiety and fear take over as I wonder frantically
Where am I?
