Snippet: Cassie's head was throbbing. She weakly stood up, still clutching her stomach. She walked into her bedroom again and heard a crash downstairs. Her parents were no longer arguing, it was now eerily quiet. She slowly walked into the dimly lit hallway and called out, "Mom? Dad?" Cassie heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She stopped and listened. They sounded heavy. She swayed a bit and leaned against the wall for support. Her headache grew worse. It felt like bees were buzzing around in her brain, bumping into each other to get out. She tried to focus her blurry vision on the stairs. Slowly a tall man appeared into her view. He was wearing black from head to toe and even had a turtleneck covering half of his face. All that was visible were his cold, black eyes. She stood there frozen in shock. Finally, she managed to speak, "Who are you?" It came out as a whisper. His eyes crinkled as though he was smiling. "I am the Keymaster." He proclaimed in his deep voice. Cassie's eyes welled with tears, then the pain began. Synopsis: The Keymaster is a deadly serial killer who convinces his victims to kill themselves in a very unusual and specific way.
