He entered, found a table, and draped his black coat over the chair. He wanted to talk to someone and even took out his phone but then put it away. Although he had never drunk before, tonight he felt the urge to. He signaled the waiter and asked for a glass. When the waiter brought it, he downed it in one gulp.

"Under the same night sky, we find solace in the stars." ~Unknown The weather was absolutely stunning, with the rain ceasing and the sky adorned with clouds. A pleasant buzz filled the atmosphere. It was already late at night, around ten o'clock, as Luna Jackson strolled through the lawn, donning a light blue shirt with her long, silky hair cascading freely. She anxiously awaited the return of her father, who had been away on a business trip abroad for several days. Although the rain had stopped, the gentle breeze caused her hair to flutter. Lost in her thoughts, she gazed up at the silent sky, where the moonlight illuminated everything, making her appear as though she were a part of the moon itself.

The Dark Moon |A Murder 2. Birthday Present
He stood in front of a mirror at eight o'clock this morning, combing his hair and spraying himself with perfume. At that moment, a knock came on the door. He went to the door and found Uncle Elias, an old servant of the house, standing there with a letter in his hand. "That's for you, sir," he said, then closed the door and left. It was his birthday, and he knew that every birthday Uncle Elias gave him a letter to read. He didn't focus on them; sometimes he opened and read the first line, and sometimes he ignored them entirely. He knew that every letter contained unnecessary suggestions and advice that seemed useless to him. Ryan saw the letter with his name on it, marked "Happy Birthday," and underlined with a bold, "Must read it." He tossed the letter onto his bed without opening it and continued to comb his hair. Then, he turned to the bed, picked up the note, and opened it, intrigued by the insistent words. He never bothered to read them. However, this day was different—it was h

The Dark Moon |A Murder 18. James Santoro
A thin trail of smoke rose from his cigarette as he sat in contemplation on a swaying chair, surrounded by soft music in a well-lit room. Abruptly, two individuals clad in black entered, gripping a person by the neck. The third person with them seemed on the verge of losing consciousness. "Sir, we've located the individual you were searching for." Rising from his chair, he grabbed the person by the mouth and declared, "What I desire will forever be mine. Understand?" Subsequently, he retrieved a gun from his pocket and fired, instructing his guards to tidy the room and remove the individual. He then departed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The wind blew swiftly, carrying sand through the air as he approached on a horse from a distance. Clad in a white shirt and black pants, he rode alongside her, who held the flowing tail of her black maxi, her hair dancing in the wind. Abruptly, his white shirt transformed into red bloodstains. An alarm sounded, waking her at 7:00 a.m. "Oh, it was just a dream."
The Dark Moon |A Murder 17. Mafia Boss
Arriving home late at night, he was soaked from the rain as he used his key to open the door and entered his home. The darkness in his house stemmed from the absence of lights, all switched off. Aware that it was late at night, he knew both his mother and Kelly were fast asleep. Upon entering, he headed straight upstairs to his room. Then, he switched on his side table lamp. He went to the bathroom to change his clothes before settling onto the bed. Seated on the bed, he observed the open windows with the night sky enveloped in darkness, occasionally illuminated by flashes of lightning after the rain. Then, he rose from the bed to close the open window. Returning to the bed, he switched off the lamp and drifted into sleep. At 9:00 a.m., Kelly knocked on his door. "Come in," he said in a sleepy voice. As Kelly entered, she slid the curtains open. "Kelly, don't," he mumbled, covering his sleepy eyes. "I am sleepy; sunlight is directly on my face." Bro, quick! I'm running late.
The Dark Moon |A Murder 16. Mr. Romano Santoro
Leo reentered his room with a sense of purpose, meticulously double-checking Mr. Romano's contact number on his phone. Satisfied, he locked the screen and carefully set the device on the side table before making his way to the balcony, where a soothing breeze awaited him. As Leo stood by the balcony, gazing at the rustling trees under the cool night breeze, his attention was drawn to Ryan's house. He realized that he was busy for the past two days and hadn't seen Ryan during that time. So, he made up his mind to meet Ryan at the university tomorrow. After his contemplation, Leo decided it was time to retire for the night. He turned down the lights in his room to make it calm for sleeping. Leo also set his morning alarm carefully and put the clock on the table next to his bed so he could reach it easily. The next morning, his alarm rang at 7 a.m. Ryan woke up with his hands shielding his eyes as the direct morning sun cast a bright light upon him. After waking up, he wore his slip

"Leo, please wake up. It's 10 o'clock." Leo's mother entered his room, drew back the curtains, and the bright rays of sunlight shone directly on his face, causing him to stir in discomfort. "Mom, I really need to sleep. Please, for God's sake, can you close the curtains?" "I slept late last night, which is why I won't be attending university right now." Leo said to his mother. "Leo, one of my friends are visiting today. Please we have to do alot of tasks to accomplish." Afterward, Leo rose from his bed, selected an outfit from his wardrobe, and headed toward the bathroom. His mother, in the meantime, tidied up his bed and noticed an ashtray on his bedside table along with some cigarettes on his bed but she didn't respond. After that, she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for him. When Leo joined them downstairs, he found his sister sitting at the dining table. Leo took a seat and greeted his sister, Kelly, saying, "Hey, good morning, what's going on?" "Nothing much, just wa

At 10 in the morning, Leo woke up and got out of bed. He walked down the stairs to the lower floor of his house. The sunlight was shining through the windows, making everything look bright and nice. He was still a bit sleepy and stretched his arms while he walked. The stairs made a little squeaky sound under his feet. It was like a signal that a new day had started. Leo decided to start his day with a healthy choice and reached for an apple from the fruit basket. As he looked around, he realized that his sister and mother were still fast asleep in his room, unaware of the morning's activities. With the apple in hand, he retraced his steps, making his way back towards his room. Upon entering, he gently closed the door behind him so as not to disturb his sleeping family members. The room was filled with a serene quietness, and rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over everything. Leo's eyes were drawn to the balcony, beckoning him with the promise of a
