Part 1: The Calm Before the Storm
Introduction:
In the heart of Ravenwood, a small town nestled amidst towering pines and rolling hills, the tranquility of a crisp autumn morning was shattered by the discovery of a heinous crime. On the morning of October 31st, as the town prepared for its annual Harvest Festival, the body of beloved librarian, Margaret Wilson, was found in the dimly lit corridors of the town's historic library.
Discovery of the Body:
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight filtered through the stained-glass windows, casting kaleidoscopic patterns on the library's mahogany shelves, a young student stumbled upon Margaret's lifeless form sprawled amidst a sea of books. Her once vibrant eyes, now frozen in a silent scream, bore witness to the horrors that had befallen her.
