The Killer (Story)

It was supposed to be a reunion—ten old friends gathered at a secluded estate deep in the forest, far from the noise of the city. The invitations were handwritten, the tone mysterious, but the lure of nostalgia was too strong to resist. Emily, Sofia, and Ava arrived first, their laughter echoing in the grand, empty halls. Hours later, James, Liam, Noah, Ethan, Oliver, Lucas, and Henry joined them, each carrying the same question: Who invited us? No one claimed responsibility. That night, the storm rolled in. Power flickered, cell service vanished, and the front gates—massive iron things—locked shut without warning. Then the first body was found. Ten friends. One estate. And one of them is a killer.
