    The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the small town of Maplewood. The air was heavy with the scent of blooming lilacs, a stark contrast to the turmoil that brewed within the heart of ten-year-old Alex Carter. He sat on the worn steps of his porch, his small frame dwarfed by the grand old oak tree that had been a silent witness to his laughter, his dreams, and now, his sorrow. It was a day like any other until it wasn’t. The echoes of laughter from the neighborhood children were drowned out by the sudden blare of sirens—an ominous sound that would forever alter the course of his life.

    The days following the funeral were a blur for Alex, each one bleeding into the next, a monochrome haze of grief. The house was filled with well-wishers—friends, relatives, neighbors—all offering hollow words of comfort that rang empty in the vast silence left by his parents. But Alex could hardly hear them over the pounding of his thoughts. He spent countless hours in the attic, surrounded by memories, piecing together fragments of his life before the tragedy. He read through his father’s old case files, the yellowed papers filled with handwritten notes and photographs of criminals—men who had caused pain in the lives of others. Each name he read became a ghost in his mind, haunting him with the idea that justice was not just a word but a necessity. Every night, as the moon cast its silver glow through the attic window, Alex felt the weight of his vow to seek revenge. His parents had been taken from him in a senseless act, and he could not let their deaths go unpunished. He began t
