Four Seasons

It was a cold night at Four Seasons. The scary hotel was empty as usual these last years, but also filled with the echos of the people who used to laugh and sing in the ballrooms once, a long time ago.

But one night, the big chandelier, who was the star in every ball held in the grand hotel Four Seasons, dropped to the ground with the biggest impact ever seen. It landed right on top of Miss Ainsley, the famous owner of Four Seasons. Everyone shouted in fear and left the hotel horrified with the tremendous tragedy. Since then, no ball was ever organized again inside these walls.

Throughout the years, the people started to forget the unfaithful tragedy, but there was one person who couldn't let it go: Miss Ainsley's daughter, Mira. Although her mother's death was sentenced as an accident, Mira always stood aside the idea that someone cutted the string that held the big chandelier, knewing that her mother would be there by the time it fell down. She always believed that her mother was murdered, but no one had found real proof of it, so the case was dropped.

However, there was one sort of witness. Sort of because this witness, Murdoc the Kukoo (what the people used to call him), was an old man who handled the lights in a small cabin upstairs, on the top tower. He said that night he saw someone, or something, almost like a ghost, running past him. He was frightened, but thought little of it as it was probably just nonsense. However, just a few minutes later, he heard the chandelier going down, and the screams of everyone down there mixed with his, filled with pure horror.

But people didn't really trusted Murdoc because he was an old man who spends all his time alone in the tower, and rumours say he sometimes talks to his dead wife when he's up there. People thought he was just a madman.

But what if...Murdoc really saw someone?
