When the Clock Strikes Twelve

Goldberg, Cascoss, May 22nd, 2006*, 11:58 P.M

The night was silent. A breeze blows the leaves of an oak tree. The only sound was the ticking of a grandfather clock at the top landing of the staircase of a grand mansion that was 1700 meters away from the train station. The mansion was green in colour on the inside and some of the outsides was green too.

The mansion belonged to a family called 'the Calamas.' Their wealth was well known throughout Cascoss.

The still silent night stayed still for many seconds, but then suddenly, at the stroke of midnight, a blood curdling scream could be heard emanating from the back-left of the mansion, awakening many of the other residents within. When they entered the room, they found a woman dead, she was bleeding from the heart, the wound was open, the murder weapon had been removed and taken by the killer.

The only question was… 'why did this happen?'
