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 the blood stained hands, in the dark, smelly tunnel. The person stood there in the full moon night. The lips curled into a smile, the eyes gleaming with a mischievous light. As the smile widened, the breath quickened, and a shiver ran down the spine. The happiness was never experienced or felt.
But the smile fainted away as the person looked at the body. The body which had been stabbed and the skin ripped off. The blood was slowly dripping and fell in the dirty water.
As the person looked at the body, the lips laughed. The person laughed with a manic, foolish grin. But before leaving, a note was left 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. The news fled through the city. The people were afraid hearing the news and the stories of the murder were found. 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 near the body, made the citizens fear.
The priests of the church named the murderer as ''THE SKIN SLAUGHTER.'' And said that god will punish him cruelly.
People were afraid, the police tried to search the culprit and the murder scene was now known as devil's fief.
The murder began to increase every year, killing wealthy dukes and men mysteriously and their dead bodies found in the same way. But there were no clues or inquiries for the culprit.
''The note was a warning.''
''The city has been cursed''
''I think the devil is coming here''
People kept bringing up stories and rumors.
But there was no one to know about the murder or the culprit.
A murder made the whole Frostheugh fear and terrified.
The beginning of an era of horrible incidents in Frostheugh which terrifying everyone in the city.
