Chapter 2:

“What is going on sir?” A middle-aged man with a bald head walked into the living room of his master. He was a wearing a black tuxedo with a long black tie. “Oh, oh my!” On the floor was a red body resembling the man to whom he was a butler for. The red stains of the body had leaked onto the floor and stained the near by walls. A large red puddle of the dried up liquid surrounded the dead body.

When he reached the living room, he noticed Mr. Kazuka’s body on the floor. It was a gruesome picture to say the least. The body was covered with blood and had quite a few slashes put through it.
