Dark Hours

by Ashlee Craft

It was just after midnight. The hallways of The Singing Bird apartment complex were nearly empty, and a deep silence filled the walls. Suddenly, a scream rang out through one of the rooms in the nearly-vacant apartment building. This scream was followed by an eerie silence, the sinister type of silence which leaves you both wondering and fearing what has just occurred. When signs of a murder are found in one of the apartments, Detective Melissa Davies is called in to investigate. After questioning the residents and discovering conflicting evidence, it seems as though any of them could have either committed or planned the crime. Detective Davies realizes that this case may be more difficult to solve than she could have ever imagined. Will evidence proving the true killer guilty be found before it's too late?
