As the storm raged on, lightning illuminated the sky, casting an eerie glow over the town of Ravenwood. Detective Emily Collins stood at the entrance of the abandoned mansion, her heart pounding in her chest. The dilapidated structure loomed before her, its once-grand architecture now a haunting reminder of the secrets it held within.
With each step she took, the floorboards creaked beneath her, as if the house itself was whispering its long-held secrets. The air was thick with a musty scent, a mixture of dampness and decay.
