Back in 1900
The sound of dripping of water was heard slightly from a distant. The surrounding was dark and smelly. It was a sewage tunnel located in the city Frostheugh.
The pure white Gloves were worn on blood-stained hands, in the dark, smelly tunnel. They stood there, under the full moon's pale light. lips curled into a smile, eyes gleaming with a mischievous light. As the smile widened, breath quickened and a shiver ran down the spine.
The happiness felt unnatural, like a practiced act. But the smile faltered as they gazed at the body.
The body had been stabbed, skin ripped off and the blood dripped slowly into the dirty water.
A laugh bubbled up, manic and unsettling. The sound echoed through the tunnel as they turned to leave, footsteps fading into the darkness.
But before leaving, a note was left behind on the wall, ''WHO'S NEXT? YOU?"
The next day, the police found the dead body and the note. They were terrified by the scene and the note on the wall. The news fled through the city. The people were horrified hearing the news and the murdered body hanging upside down in the sewage tunnel. Some told that it might be a devil's work; others said it must be a ghost. The priests prayed.
But the note which was found on the wall, made the citizens fear.
The priests said that god will punish the murderer cruelly.
People were afraid, the police tried to search the culprit and the murder scene was now known as devil's fief. but the police were unsuccessful. there were no clues or leads in the investigation and hence the case remained unsolved.
But every year the same murder happened in different tunnels. Yet the police couldn't find the murderer. They failed to find clues or evidences.
''The note was a warning.''
''The city has been cursed''
''Will the murderer ever get captured?''
People began to make up stories and rumors about the murders.
But there was no one to know about the murder or the culprit.
A murder made the whole Frostheugh fear and terrified.
This began of an era of horrible incidents in Frostheugh which terrifying everyone in the city.
