2014. Around 7:30 PM.

The past few months have been a whirlwind of darkness and mystery in your little town. Stories of deaths and murders have been circulating, casting a shadow over your once-peaceful community. It's disheartening to think that just a week ago, a classmate of yours from your senior class was murdered. You may not have been the closest of friends, but their untimely demise was a tragedy. With each passing day, you hope and pray that this killer will be caught, bringing an end to the reign of fear.

But for now, life must go on. As you sit at your desk, a textbook on biology rests on the desk before you. Your exam is just a week away, and every minute counts. You began to take notes, making sure to get them done.

Time passes slowly, and your weary body begins to protest. The hours spent hunched over your desk have taken their toll, leaving your back aching and your energy waning. Letting out a tired sigh, you lean back in your chair. As you lift your gaze from the notes, a sight catches your eye beyond the windowpane.

The world outside has turned dark, the moon casting its ethereal glow upon the landscape. It's already 10 PM, and the night has taken hold of our surroundings. But then, out of the corner of your eye, a movement catches your attention. A figure, shrouded in shadows, stealthily makes their way toward your neighbor's house, just across the street.

Your curiosity piqued, and you observed the figure. Straining your eyes, you are unable to figure out who they are as the darkness cloaks their identity. Yet, suspicion begins to creep into your thoughts. What business does this mysterious figure have under the cover of night? With bated breath, you watch as they scale the fence, disappearing into your neighbor's backyard.
